A picture my aunt had of my grandmother (2nd woman on right with glasses, and my father next to her) and her friends sewing outside. I believe this is the mid 1950’s in Kalymnos, Greece.
My daughter and her family arrive in 6 days (but who's counting?) after almost 4 years of not seeing them. You will probably hear my loud crying where you live Very cathartic. Seriously I'm always touched by the strength of character and resolve of those who left their families to provide for them in difficult times not knowing when or if they would ever see them again. What a "sweet" memory of your husband's grandfather and the candy recipe book he brought with him probably hoping to start his own candy business. What a lovely heritage your family have.
