matsu, smiling

Unfortunately, I spent my last 3 days in Hawaii becoming increasing sick with some type of achy flu bug (and still feeling bad on day 5). I missed out on spending time with the relatives, and didn't even make it to the family store. But it was nice to catch up with cousin Millie and her husband Curt, whose couch became my home. Millie was sorting old photographs from her mother's many albums - the smiling woman in the center photograph, above, is my greatgrandmother Matsu.
