Monday Memories ~ Young Thai Lady
This was my mother when she was a teenager. I think perhaps she was 16 or 17 years old. It was taken in her hometown in northern Thailand. She is dressed in Thai silk. I don’t know what the occasion was, but I’m so glad I have it.
She is shown here in the middle. The lady to the right is her aunt but the lady on the left is a stranger to me. The are standing in front of a Thai buffet. I use a rice keeper just like this for my sticky rice.
Where ever I travel and where ever I live, I still feel such a kinship to that land where my history began. One day it will be a joy to travel back to see it again.
