My mother in law, Ruth Houben

Nine years ago today, my mother in law, Ruth, passed away.
I still miss her dreadfully.
Recently I came across these photos I had scanned in and saved.
I'm not sure of the year that these were taken, but probably sometime in the early 1960's.
Ruth loved to make bobbin lace. She also loved sewing and embroidery.
I love these pictures of her.

Hi Loretta, If you look closely at the middle picture, you will see two little people beside mom. From the blond hair on the taller one (where you can't see the face) - only Wim & Tony had blond hair at that young an age. I think the smaller kid may be Merina - if it is, she looks to be about 2 or 3, and she was born in 1954.

oops, I mean 1955 (Merina's BD)...
