52 Photos Project

Week 29—Holding: Go out and hold something
—long enough to appreciate that special moment 
{Thanks, and great choice, Deb.}

My mom's house was hit hard by Hurricane Sandy 
and my family is focused on holding onto our 
memories of the home we grew up in.
This past weekend we began trying to salvage
what we can.   One of the things I'm hoping to 
save is this 92-year-old baby dress that I
found with some others at the bottom of a trunk.  
Managed to get it dry before mold took over and will 
find a pro to clean it.  Then I'll frame it and 
hang it in whatever Mom's new home turns out to be.
