Great selfie, cheap sunglasses and all. Nice tribute and I think it's hard for many of us to imagine just how hard life was back in those days. I'm reading a book right now about the Klondike during the gold rush and it boggles my mind how any of those people ever survived those harsh winters. We sure have it different than our ancestors did..........Al Bossencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04307619781955351484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315509519261683441.post-1630186110890307592017-01-25T20:57:55.188-05:002017-01-25T20:57:55.188-05:00Our generation stands on the shoulders of our pare...Our generation stands on the shoulders of our parents.

My grandparents were so poor that they moved and lived in abandoned house throughout different counties. My mom said she never stayed in a country school longer than a year as they had to keep moving. The area where your mother-in-law lived is fascinating to me as I live in the prairie. I am moving to a new town where the man made lake is nearby. Not the same as Lake Ontario is it?L.

I often admire people who uproot their families and start fresh in a new country. I don't think I could do it myself, but obviously war would change your perception. To have lived to 97 and still be in such a great frame of mind is such a blessing. <br />You have some nice shots of the foggy shoreline. It's been dark, cloudy and rainy for so long down here by the lake ... getting a bit depressing. The only thing for it is to get out and enjoy the day as best you can. You look great in the cheap sunglasses. I hope your surgery has brought good results. I read back quite a few posts to catch up and love the snow shots you have been sharing (missing snow this year!). <br />WendySeptember Violetshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10931133319044031928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1315509519261683441.post-50433669835914843372017-01-25T16:26:06.422-05:002017-01-25T16:26:06.422-05:00So sorry to hear of your loss.

The last time was for a Shakespeare in the park thing in Coronation Park, I think, which can't be far from that lighthouse.
