Halloween

Last Halloween, Nico, my youngest grand niece, dressed up as Maneki-Neko, the Japanese beckoning cat.

I recall buying this little white cat for her birthday last March.

This is what she looked like before going out to "Trick or Treat"

Now, when I look at her, and notice how she has grown these last few years, I am reminded of my mother.

I resurrected an old photo (a little blurry) of my Mum when she was young (18 or 19), and working at Willard s Chocolate factory.

There is definitely a family resemblance.
