Two anniversaries today

It is 8 years today since I began blogging from The Gables. It was a steep learning curve and I’m still learning.

Photos below from the first blog book that I made. I make books out of my blogs to keep as picture diaries of life here at The Gables

The second anniversary is that today would have been dad’s 94th birthday. He passed away aged 86 but lived a full and happy life right up to his very last day. He was a wonderful son, husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather. He adored children as you can see from the photographs.
