BARB'S GENEALOGY TIDBITS- THE DI MAMBROS CAME TO CANADA THIS DAY

 I was going to post again about the Di Mambros coming to Canada.

Then I checked this blog and well I have written several posts on this them.

So here is the ship- Queen Frederica again as a tribute to the family for being here.

TIME FOR ANOTHER TRIP TO THE ST JACOBS FARMERS MARKET

Adolph and I visited the St. Jacobs Farmers Market in 2012 and 2014.

So I suggested to Sonya it would be a fun day with the kids and me. We could do the tour of the Mennonite Farm, buy veggies and fruit and have lunch.

It is on Saturday and Thursdays.

So on my summer bucket list.

Hope to have as much fun again.

FATHER'SDAY IS ALWAYS A GOOD WAY TO EAT GOOD FOOD

 

Sometimes something as simple as a tomato sandwich.

What is your way to start the day?

JUNE REUNION TIME- LANGSTAFF LADIES LUNCH

 Grandpa Adolph attended Langstaff too.

The Ladies, my High School acquaintances remember him well. And they did like him.

It was apparent at our 50th reunion at the school in 2015 and later at the dinner at Milestones.

They were supportive after he passed away.

So it is a safe place to mention him.

HAWAIIAN MEMORIES

 WE honeymooned in Hawaii. So when I purchased a travel album from a flea market circa 1910 I was delighted to find some photos from Hawaii. This photo colorized by the My Heritage photo system shows a beach scene from 1910. Diamond Head in a view from Waikiki.

Here I am with the flowers my mother sent us. Do you know what they are?

My favourite pic of Adolph making pancakes. I should have known he always liked to cook.

Another beach scene from 1910. Do you recognize the historic hotel in the center of the photo?

Oh the memories from May 1971.

SPRING WITH OUTDOOR LIVING AND THOSE BEAUTIFUL TULIPS

As you know May is my favourite month. Tulips and outdoor living help to make it happen.

So a beautiful purple tulip between the rocks and you do know I love rocks too made for a sweet picture.

What you do not see is the porch with food on the table.

As the season progresses, more food will appear in this blog.

A time to celebrate.
