My photo of a marble copy in the collection of Chatsworth House in Derbyshire, UK.

I'd only seen others' pictures of it before, but seeing it in person floored me with its 'translucency' effects, which is solely master stone carving.

So chuffed today! I've finally discovered my paternal gr-gr-Grandmother's origins via a previously unknown obituary date.

Granny Bridget born c.1827 in the Irish county where most Carbine people historically lived. She and my gr-gr-grandfather knew the famine.

The only pic of her, age 67 in Cal.

Recalling attendance at a Scottish Highlands Games and Clans Gathering at Portland, Oregon some years ago... cruising the vendors' booths... Because nothing says Mother #Scotland like a #sarong. 🙄
