Nostalgia, photos and my gram...



So glad everyone seemed to agree with regards to my last post. It is so nice to know there are so many like-minded people out there which is the thing I love about "blogs"!

I wanted to share with you all this link to a useful BLOG that offers great info about taking photos of Christmas trees and lights. Over the years we have had the most incredibly beautiful Christmas trees but each time I try to take photos of them, the pics always come out looking either way too dark or terribly washed out from the flash. This little photo taking guide offers solutions to this problem so I thought some of you might want to try it out. I expect to see AMAZING Christmas photos on all your blogs!

On a different note...I have been meaning to share with you some pictures of my Grandma (better known as "gram"). She passed away in 2001 just a few days after I went back to the US to be with her. They say she waiting to see me one more time. We were very close and I miss her so much. She was such a beautiful lady with a tremendous spirit. I learned so much from her.

If you visit my website, you may have seen this picture of her in the background of some website pics. This was taken in 1947.




Gram and a friend (no doubt one of her many admirers!)



Gram with a "hill billy" hat, 1950. She had a deep, hearty laugh with a great sense of humour.



Gram with her brothers,she was the only girl. 1950



Gram at the "supper club" with friends, 1948



Wasn't she lovely?
