The Grandmothers::Esther Clarke

Vintage group shot with her in the bottom right in a white hat, one photo circa 1970s with me in her arms.  Here is what I had written about her:

Here is one of me and my paternal grandma, taken in the 1970s.  I love how little me is reaching out of the frame while my grandma holds me in her open arms, relaxed but protective.  She was an Ontario farm girl and my memories of her are steady and grounded, wholesome and fun loving.  I love how I’m dressed in something she or one of her brood probably knit, pink, girly, useful and cheerful.  I miss her.
