For længe siden / A long time ago

Dengang jeg var barn, var der også en strømpestrikker i familien - nemlig min fars moster, som ikke selv havde børn, og som var vores allesammens Moster.
Hun strikkede troligt strømper til os alle sammen, og vi var meget glade for dem. Det ses jo tydeligt på billedet! Mit yngre jeg i sandaler, sommerkjole og - ja - strikkede strømper. I blå og hvide striber. Præcis som jeg havde bestilt dem. (Jeg tror faktisk min kære søster ses UDEN strikkede strømper her på billedet. Klogt af hende.)
Min ældste bror fylder snart år. Han fortalte mig meget pænt, at han ønsker sig strikkede strømper. Fordi dem han fik fra vores Moster var ved at være noget slidt. Eftersom det er over 25 år siden hun døde, har han jo passet ualmindeligt godt på dem, og når han spørger så pænt, må han vel komme med i bunken af modtagere!

When I was a kid, we also had a sock-knitter in the family - my father's aunt, who didn't have kids herself, and who became everybody´s "Moster" (maternal aunt).
She just kept knitting socks for all of us, and we just loved them. It is quite obvious on this photo! A younger me in open shoes, summer dress and - well - knitted socks. With blue and white stripes. Exactly as I ordered them. (Actually, I do think me dear sister is WITHOUT knitted socks in this photo. Wise decision.)
My oldest brother's birthday is coming up. He told me quite nicely that he would really love to have knitted socks. Since those he got from our "Moster" were worn out. Since it is more than 25 years since she passed away, he must have taken very good care of them, and since he is asking so nicely, I guess he will get to be in the sock-recipient stack!
