Time Warp (Another Little Girl in Red)

00158

I was born to a family of savers and recyclers. Among the many boxes in my parents’ attic are several that contain my mother’s old sewing patterns, clearly marked and dated, from the 1960s on.  When Mama decided that my daughter needed her own Red Riding Hood robe like the one I had worn in the Christmas photo from 1965, she used the same pattern.  D loved her version and wore it for years.  Here she is at age three in 2002:  another little blonde girl in red, happy to be visiting her grandparents.
