-We have sun, with cold temps--and--SNOW predicted for to-morrow-- depressing--10 to 15 cm predicted which I really hope is wrong---You know, I have tried very hard , over the past 2 snowfalls, to NOT shovel--- my left wrist was so sore--inflamed, and hot to the touch--and my rt shoulder-- Himself told me it is probably arthritis in the joints-- Lord love a Duck!--- --- Stopping the shovelling really has helped but--- there is still tenderness in my joints- in those 2 areas--You know, I remember my Grampa having that in his hands and I can remember sitting at their table and studying his mis --shapen hands--And-- now me!
-and here is a very old picture of his Mom and Dad and their 13 children. Grampa was the youngest--right in the middle of this picture. They emigrated from Scotland-- His Dad's name was George and him Mom's name was Mary-- and they settled near Oshawa, Ontario, on a farm--Just look at the size of this one family! -- And no-one is wearing jeans!
Now how on earth did I ever get onto all this?-- Lord love a Duck!
I'm hoping the snow prediction is wrong. Enough is enough.
ReplyDeleteGreat old family pictures and lovely memories.
Have a good day. No shoveling.
Hugs
Awesome pics from awesome times. Wishing for no more snow! Happy Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteHope you do not get all that snow, hope the weather people are wrong! It is painful to shovel when you have arthritis in your wrist and shoulder, and if the area is warm to the touch, it is time to stop. Have you given any thought to where you would move to, if you had to leave for health reasons? Thinking ahead…..that or hiring people to stay with you. Ah yes, these are our tender years……sigh.
ReplyDeleteHope your snow prediction is wrong, too. I am ready for spring and no more winter!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the pictures of your Dad and Grandpa and Great Grandpa. So many memories.
And Beau and Lopez look content even sharing the same space! That's good

A very handsome grandpa! My grandpa wore a hat just like that! Sorry about your hands. I think that darn arthritis might be taking a hold of my hands too, especially my right one. Seems like everything is falling apart!
ReplyDeleteLynda, you are lucky to have those old photos and to know who the people in them are!
ReplyDeleteI had a bunch from my mom when she passed...I knew none of the people and they were not marked!
Love the photo of the dogs! One day you may get one with Sushi, too.
{{{HUGS}}}
Beau and Lopez look good and quite happy! Hope you don't get all that snow. If you do, don't be shoveling it. Either get the plow guy to do it or wait for it to melt. Thursday is supposed to be a lot warmer. Love the old pictures.
ReplyDeleteFunny, we get older and our grandparents start looking oh, so young in those photos! I remember my great-grandfather putting my feet on his to teach me to waltz... memories!
ReplyDeleteI love the old family photos. It is a good way to keep the history going.
