Christina

(Click to make picture larger)

Meet Christina. Christina just made a trip across the Atlantic with me. Loved for many years, survived 2 world wars, moved about England spending the last few years with Suzy before making her way with me to her new home in Pennsylvania. She looks quite good for her age. I reckon she's at least 107 or 108 years old and would have oh so many stories to tell if only she could talk. The gown she is wearing is my grandmother's Christening gown worn in 1899. I have a photo of my Gran holding Christina taken around 1902. Oh Gran, I will treasure your Christina till the very end of time and then some :)
