I just finished reading Jippus et Jannica, a Latin version of stories about childhood favorites Jip and Janneke. Translated to interest people for ancient languages. Such a joy to read. For your entertainment I'm sharing an exerpt and the adorable cover.



Cover, left page in Dutch, right page in Latin (click to read;)

I wanted to take a photo of the pages that had a drawing of both characters and it just happened to be a story about Gran being sick. That reminded me of another photo I made some time ago: a collection of framed pictures my Gran kept in her room; me and my (little) brothers.



Posing in our backyard. Clockwise from top left:
1. I'm guessing about ten years ago 2. Wee brother took this picture of his big sister
3. I think I'm sixteen here... (look at my tiny brother!) 4. It's Baby J.!
