For anyone who knows my Father, you know he has the gift of the gab, which is defined as the ability to speak easily and confidently in a way that makes people want to listen to you and believe you. He is quite the entertainer! This blog is being started to record his memories of family and friends through the MANY, MANY photos he has taken throughout the years. Beginning with black and white slides, to coloured slides, to printed photos, and finally to the digital age. I'd like to be able to keep this in chronological order, but with as many photos as there are, and as they are in such a hodgepodge state, it makes it rather difficult. This will be written as though he's writing it, because he really will be! I'm just moving it over here so it will actually get posted and not "lost" out there. So here we go!

A Promise Made is a Promise Kept

A promise I made to myself in my teenage years,  should I ever have a family, they would never lack photographs. A promise that has been kept, but so many taken over the years I doubt the children will see them all. 
What fun it as been and so many memories which otherwise would have been lost. All the family photographs required a tripod and the patience of Job, as our children, not forgetting the grandchildren, were not always cooperative!
