Memory Lane
Please excuse this construction mess! If you look over my blog titles, I have officially come back to blog, starting New Year's Day 2019, but of course I have thousands of pictures and memories from previous years that I want to document for family history. The only way I have come up with is to add pictures as attachments and explain them as they pop up.
Bear with me as I jump around and down Memory Lane.
