August 1985
Mui’s mother has three sisters. One of them is Leman. Her two kids — Rıfat and Nüket — both emigrated to North America.
Rıfat lived in Vancouver, British Columbia (Canada) — unfortunately we lost him to cancer at a very young age. Nüket, on the other hand, lived in California (she now lives in Antalya, Turkey part of the year). My first opportunity to meet Nüket came when she and her family visited us in Kaysville.
Nüket, Don and Maya
Until I saw this photo, I had forgotten all about our old cookie jar — the one straight out of the Mother Goose nursery rhyme, There Was an Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe. I wonder what happened to it?
There was an old woman
who lived in a shoe,
She had so many children
she didn't know what to do;
She gave them some broth
without any bread;
She whipped them all soundly
and put them to bed.
