So long ago.....

 

April 17, 1992. So long ago. My Dad after cancer surgery and radiation. Picking him and my Mom up in Victoria to bring them home. The absolute bravest man I have ever known.

Animating old pictures

 


Technology is amazing.  This is a passport of my grandfather, Paul Gerk, taken in 1924.  This is the same photo when animation is added...bringing it to life.

My First Library

 

One of the great things about school was the ability to purchase books through Scholastic Books. Kids all over, including my own kids, have been able to put together some great books for little cost.

Some of my early purchases I kept....some were lost over the years.  I have slowly tried to rebuild my first little library by frequenting used book stores, as I rack my brain to try to remember titles. The above photo shows books I read and re-read many times! These literally were my favourite books.

Some I also have had, but not going to replace (these were the first books I ever bought)
