My grandfather's early mode of transportation
Fernie has always had a special place in our family's heart.
nice to see the old photos
ReplyDeleteNice to see the old photos! Glad you are happily chugging along. I am enjoying daily walks on Willows and trying to type with the tiny Deja purring loudly in my lap and resting his head on my wrist. I have so many piles of articles to read and "to do" projects on my floor that I fantasize being on the road with no particular schedule. :)
Great post Marg!
ReplyDeleteAll's well on the homestead.
