Nieces and nephews and treasures

When I was growing up, I was the youngest of 8 children so I have had nieces and nephews for as long as I could remember!  And I was close to all of them!   So in a flurry of house cleaning/purging, I was thrilled to find this picture of Leigh Hearnes and me!  She did not like cameras or "new" people!  

And her grandmother protected her from the world and from big kids who tried to run over her!   I love this picture!
