Memories can be a peculiar thing. You can have them, lose them, and sometimes, memories will come flowing back into the mind like a river. Sometimes, when trying to recall something, the memories work like a small trickle, and then suddenly as you keep thinking about them, the trickle grows to a torrent. What I

Early childhood memories. Look at that image, and realize that it all used to be farmland, and some of my earliest memories are of that area – but it was nothing like what it is now. I am sorry for such a large image, but I wanted anyone who finds this interesting, to see all

And my back, shoulders and belly are all sunburned. I can never figure out why my belly gets more sun than my chest. But anyhow, just returned from an awesome week in Eastern Ontario, near Plevna. I stayed at a cottage we rented on a beautiful property in this rugged area of the province. As
Update: Since the original post, over the years, the image mentioned has disappeared but I think I know which one it was I had posted. I’ll try to locate it sometime. Those are three of my four sons. Click on the image, and you’ll get a bigger, better view of those handsome adorable kids. The
