Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Stoll-ley Cup? (August 2012)

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Grandparents at My Parents Wedding (October 1971)

Last week, I mentioned an aunt had given me a variety of old photos she’d scanned. Here’s a great one from my parents’ wedding featuring all four of my grandparents. So many thoughts and memories looking at this photo – the things my grandparents saw ranging from World Wars to Great Depressions; memories of various […]

Had a pretty wet weekend at the campsite (including a bunch of folding chairs and other stuff getting drenched when a storm blew up unexpectly when we ran to town Saturday afternoon for groceries) But the rain also held off at different points allowing us to have a couple nice fires and even some fireside […]
