Nostalgia February 4, 2019, at 9:16 pm | When I was in California right before Christmas to see my family, we had a wonderful time going through some of my Grandpa’s old belongings that they had taken out of my Gramma’s attic. I don’t have many memories of my Grandpa, so it was really fun to get to “know” him a little better by looking at his old pictures and journals. I especially loved coming across this journal entry that he made while he was serving in WWII.
And elsewhere I found this old picture of my sister Angie and cousin Chuck on my other grandfather’s boat when we were young (I guess I can say I was being prepared for a life of boating, lol!):
And in the spirit of nostalgia, I found this ornament on my parents’ tree of me as a second-grader (Jimmy’s age now!):

ABOUT US I'm blessed to be saved by the grace of God, loved by my wonderful husband Jim, and embraced by my twin girls, Rebecca Faith and Susanna Joy and my sons Jimmy and Danny. I started this blog in May 2008 when I was hospitalized for pre-term labor at 24 weeks gestation. The Lord allowed me to keep the girls inside until they were 34 weeks along, and on July 27th, Rebecca made her debut, followed by Susanna, five minutes later, on July 28th. We ecstatically welcomed Jimmy into our lives on April 25th, 2011, and Danny on August 31, 2012. This blog has been a personal journal of faith and motherhood and the only way I can remember which child did what and when. Thanks for stopping by to share in my Faith and Joy!
