Suck it...

I have a bunch of family photos I want to scan, but here are a few old ones that I already have on the computer...

Swedish books I got from a friend. Some are from the 60's.

This one is on my wish list:

"Zoya's Story: An Afghan Woman's Struggle for Freedom"

by John Follain and Rita Cristofari
