  3. Lovely photos..they will be important in the future.
    Nowadays more photos are of people doing things, not posing stiffly or with an unnatural cheesy grin!

    1. Having 6 grandchildren, and three sons, does add to the fun...and at least 5 friends! Some are quite camera shy

    1. I do wish more of them lived near to me. But I am so grateful for the Internet, which brings us a little bit closer.

    1. Thank you I agree! Living miles apart does sometimes make me a bit sad, which means when we get together, it makes for a lot more joy!
