Throwback Thursday

There's the cake Ma made for my 16th or 17th birthday, 28. July 1971 or  1972.

Because I'm extremely fond of chocolate, Ma must have made a vanilla pound cake with a chocolate glaze. Ma was good like that.

Pictured with me is my second mother, Ma's sister. Because Ma worked, the Brother and I spent a lot of time with Auntie during school vacations until I was old enough to stay home by myself, around 11 or 12 years old.
