1920 was the year of my grandparent"s Wedding and 90 years later my dad is still going quite strong although plagued with that nasty lung disease, Asbestosis. We had a most precious time with him when we recently visited Adelaide where he lives (which is a 1.1/2 hour plane ride away from where we live in New South Wales, Australia, sharing stories and lots of laughs over many cups of tea.
Now back at home I'm working on the last 2 pages of my Fabric Art Journal which I will be posting in the next day or so.
Your Dad looks like a sweet man. Glad you had such a good visit. Welcome back, we missed you. xox Corrine
ReplyDeleteThere is no one left of my original family. I am the last one. Enjoy those around you who have contributed so much to your heritage, and by all means document their stories. You will be glad you did.

ReplyDeleteThankyou to all my dear blogging friends for such nice comments on my return home. It was such a special time shared with my Dad and family - there are few things we do that are as important as sharing time with our parents when they reach these long-lived years.
