Dining Room Mantle - Feb. 4, 2011

Dining Room Mantle - Feb. 4, 2011

      This is a photo of my dining room mantle.  The picture of the young girl was removed from behind a wall when my father was re-modeling a house we lived in when I was very young in the 1950s.   She has a sad look on her face,  but I've always loved this picture and carried it around with me for years.  My father made the walnut frame for it.
