You must have had a real day of it as looking at old pictures or any memorabilia can take us far away and pry at our memories ...so a little weepy is understandable. By coincidence yesterday Daisy's granddaughter Michelle ( the whole family from Toronto is now living with Daisy at her house in Sundridge until this lockdown is lifted) emailed me a few pictures she found sorting through some of Daisy's albums. She thought one of the little boys with her might have been one of mine. Sure enough it was Willie - the two of them must have been between 2 or 3 years old and we were down at Uncle Walter and Aunt Evelyn's cottages on Eagle Lake with all their family one Thanksgiving weekend. There also was a picture of us all at the table eating and i was in the forefront - looking very young and happy at that time. So pictures can have a real impact on your feelings whether positive or less positive. I have a big job sometime in my future to sort through my boxes of pictures and decide what to keep , who to give others too, or to turf. You are right though that the younger generation have no interest in pictures in the form of paper photos but will spend much time scrolling through countless screens full of pictures on their hand held devices.
It is a bit colder now so most of the outside water dripping has stopped for now. Busy week with appointments and eye drops and the time seems to go by fairly fast without accomplishing mush else. So I too, just keep carrying on...Take care all. Stay at home !!!!
