Quick snap of one of our beloved elders, Aana (Grandma) Mildred. 80+ years old, she walks over to the school every day to visit the students and take home a hot lunch. She always wears her native winter garb, a wolverine-lined "parky," and moose-soled mukluks on her feet. She is a tiny (5' tall) priceless treasure. We all love her very much.
@scotthouston Thank you, Scott. Our current sunrise is 10:17 am and sunset is 4:11 pm. It's also a rather cloudy day. It warmed back up to +23F / -5 C and we finally got about an inch of snow last night. It was -8F/-22C just two days ago.
Your small village is such a close-knit family- I think that's wonderful. How wonderful to be so independent and healthy to walk to the school at her age.
@jetr Wow. I recently spent two years in India -- 90-100+ F was the norm (and I grew to like it). No need of a swimming pool where you are! Look forward to seeing what comes next.
What a character she sounds and the life she was born to scarcely exists anymore so it's good to have people like her to remind us... and people like you to capture her image.
@scotthouston Thanks for following, Scott! @thistle She truly is an amazing lady. @cruiser@dianaanne Thank you for your comments! @vignouse Thank you, Richard. She loves to tell us how life was in the olden days. I love spending time with her. @delwynforsythe Thank you very much! It is definitely an adventure.
@yrhenwr I took this one a while back, not a portrait, but a candid at one of our basketball games. Mildred is the one on the right. Aana Josephine is in the middle, and Aana Edna is on the left. http://365project.org/jetr/365/2015-01-10
