5 - A Cup for Grandma

It says: "My grandma, a woman to be proud of."
Given to me by my grandson.
Of course he gave my husband his "My grandpa".


I wish we could sit down together
And have a cup of tea
But since we can’t
When you have this one
I hope you’ll think of me.

There's only one person I'd like to have a cup of tea with and that's my Oma. She passed away in 1986 and I often find myself thinking of her.

A very elegant image - the picture of relation and 'me time'.

We used to call our grandmother "poe-poe", obviously a child's version of "opoe". What a beautiful cup and I love your composition. Great photo.

I don't have to interpret to know it is SPECIAL.

Number eight! This a big family and we do have a lot of cups! Gorgeous one too! I just have a Schönwald "Dippern" Made in Germany in red, but I don´t have the saucer, I think my former wife has it! I can make a shot and post it here for tomorrow!
