I was going through some stuff in my mom’s garage and found a huge box of old pictures. Score! I think they reason I’m crying in this picture is because my mom looks like she’s about to Karate chop me.
This is me and my mom with my great grandparents – Granny Goose and Papa Red. I don’t know why we called them that other than the fact that my great grandpa has red hair. They are the cutest. Papa Red liked to look mean in pictures. He’s the opposite of mean.
a flash of delight 
Oh Vanessa, you are being such a little baby in those pictures.
I am sure that it was simply a love chop, NOT a karate chop! Silly Vanessa.
