Take
a step back into the past. Journey with me
to a golden era; the 1960's!
Below you will find a few family photos of
happy times in my childhood.
I'm
very thankful God blessed me with
two wonderful Christian parents, who
believed the Bible, and lived a holy life.
(yes, even in that decadent era)
They gave us many precious memories.
Even
though we never traveled once to
Disneyland, we had so much fun
just being together, enjoying the simple
pleasures in life, such as a trip to
Stanley Park for a picnic lunch, or a
Saturday spent at Sears, or a good time
in our own large back yard.
Enjoy my memories...
