Description

I own no land, instead I have wheelestate. I’ve been a full time RVer since 1997. Working summers as a Park Ranger takes me to many beautiful places and playing during the winter takes me to many more. This blog is simply the story of my life's adventures.

Remember Whensday - Christmas Past


Zowie and Rachael
This photo doesn’t get any bigger. It was scanned and sent to me this summer after I refound my married family. This is my two step-children. I believe it’s from the early 1980s after we’d moved from Illinois to Washington. My x-husband expertly wrapped all the packages using containers like coffee cans, paper towel tubes and boxes. These were happy times.

Christmas is a time for the gathering of family, be they by blood or by choice. I hope you all will have a sharing time of love and joy over the holidays.

Sally from The (Mis) Adventures of Karl and Sally has started a meme where the past is remembered through sharing old family photographs and this is #29. I love the idea and hope you will too. So join the fun by clicking here.

Don't you just love discovering "refounded" folks and photos? What a precious memory, Gaelyn. I wish the photo was bigger but that it's here at all is a miracle. "By blood or by choice."....that sorta says it all. Love this, Gaelyn. Merry Christmas to you, dear.

That looks like a string of popcorn. May we all expand and turn ourselves inside out.

A fond memory, Gaelyn - this is the season for remembering. I wish you a Happy Holiday and the best in the New Year.

Always great to re-up with family and/or friends. Cute picture. So nice to remember the happier times.

Wishing you the merriest of Christmases and hope the new year brings you bunches of happiness. MaryBeth

Hi Gaelyn, I went back to the link of how you found your x and family. Lovely, brought tears to my eyes. I enjoyed this post as well. Have a wonderful season with your friends and dear ones. I have the family with me (as we have been together since mid-Aug) and I'm blessed to have them while alone (with my dh in North Africa) I'm soon to be off to be with him, though. We're not celebrating in any way; my post today is one of the reasons for this omission - I don't want or need anymore than I have when others have SO little. Be blessed and I cannot wait for 2010 - perhaps we will meet somewhere, somehow when you come to South Africa! (((Hugs))) Jo PS Thanks for your kind comment about my garden and I too, like all the wild bugs and creepy crawlies in my garden!

Hi again, Gaelyn;) I'd like to contact you via email and cannot find your contact address. I had it on my computer but have changed laptops so don't have it any longer. Could you mail me and then I'll mail you... Thanks Jo
