My family in Serbia

Image
I have a large family in Serbia, too. My brother, sister, nephews and nieces, cousins and all their families still live there. Each time I return for a visit, it feels comforting to be welcomed by all. In addition it is very reassuring to find that most things are still the same. My brother still lives in the same house where my grandmother was born: the furniture, decorations and paintings are still in the same place as they were over 150 years ago. No one rearranged anything. Even the books in the bookcases are on the same shelves, some leaning sideways, some tucked behind others, and a set of outdated red encyclopedias in Hungarian  are taking up a whole shelf.  And my sister, too, still lives in the place where she lived in when I left the country in 1965. However, the nieces and nephews and all the other young relatives have their own places not far from their parents. So, here are some of my family members, but there is a lot more of them, I just need to get photos of them.
