Cancelled

Eric's Mom lives in Philadelphia and has spent the last week with her youngest son. Because of Irene her flight back got cancelled so she has to stay a few extra days and we got to meet her which was all kinds of wonderful. Not just because she thinks I'm the best thing since sliced bread, but because she is utterly lovely.
We tried to talk her into getting the tattoo she has wanted ever since she was 5 or 6 and saw a woman on the street with an anchor on her ankle. This must have been around 1935 when I imagine tattoos on women's ankles were rare. And she didn't know what it was, she just found it fascinating to have something 'painted' on you.

At 82, Eric's Mom feels she is now too old to have a tattoo, but why would it be? I said that in my opinion it is the exact right age for one :)

Also in this photo: my photo-bombing husband who didn't realise the range of the 50mm lens would cut off half of his photo-bombing head.

Such a fun evening :)
