THE BEARDED ONES

My mother used to say that I would imitate anything my adored big brothers did, but she was wrong, I never grew a beard. To the capital city today and the National Museum. Happy times with these lovely people and their partners. Much talk of our oldest brother who is no longer with us, except in spirit. He had some beard on him as well.

Can't help but think of how happy our meeting would have made our old Dad (who never grew a beard).
