Grand Parent Memories.

Image
The topic for the month was "Grand Parents". This was a very hard topic. I didn't have much association with mine. Some died before, or just after, I was born. But I did come up with a couple of memories once I began to dig deep into the past.                        How times have changed Negative connection I wasn't close to either of my two remaining grandparents. My mother's mother died two years after I was born My father's father. I don't know anything about him. He wasn't mentioned within my hearing. I lived too far away to have much contact with them. We had to drive for hours to visit when my father wasn't working. The visits were very short. To me. Both were grumpy. Distant in approach. Not showing love to me. I was made to feel I wasn't wanted. Distance from both of them may have caused us to have no connection. Even though my grandchildren live away from me, I still love them all the same. Treat them the same

Catching up.

I have been very busy of late. I was away for five days over Easter. Then went away to the Wondai Flower Show on another day. Then there was the lawn to mow. I had done the lawn before I went away for the five days but with all the rain we were having made it grow. The wire grass was about two foot high in the back yard before I could get to mow it. Got most of it done but the mower stopped for want of more fuel. Didn't have any left. No energy either to drive to the servo to get more. I finally got back to finishing the lawn over the weekend. I have been uploading, and sorting, out the 300+ photos I took over the both trips. I was also busy writing my stories for this month. And finding the photos for this months theme. So here are a few of the memory stories I have written.                                        Hidden flaws I didn't know. There I sat minding my own business. I was there to do the bookwork for the selling of raffle tickets to raise money

Cruising on the river

We went for a three hour cruise on the Noosa River. The day was sunny. The water calm until the other boats sped past. We watched a couple of boats go through the lock to reach their home. The water was brown from recent runoff from the rain. We seen some birds life. We had a great time watching the scenery as we past.
