This is Part I of a pocket accordion journal that I started in May and finished a few weeks ago.  Each of the photos are ones that I found when cleaning up my mother's house after her death.  A good friend suggested that perhaps I needed to make a shrine or something in memory of my mother and father.....kind of a way to put everything away into compartments.  What better way to compartmentalize than to create a pocket journal!  Each photo is of me as a baby on the farm where we lived.  I have mentioned the geese in a previous blog entry....these are the ones who took a disliking to me and would chase me.  That happened not as a baby but later when I was around four. My father is in two of the photos and Copper, the dog is in one.
