Since my Mom passed away last month I have been tackling a long put off project, and that is to scan all of our family photo albums, and store them electronically. This task has brought me some comfort, and my blessing of good memories that I can hang on to during this very difficult time.

The photo above was taken almost 20 years ago. That is my Mom (aged 55) at the time, me, and my middle daughter Sarah.

Thank you for stopping by, and I hope the upcoming week is a good one for you.

I am currently reading The Death of Kings: A Medical History of the Kings and Queens of England, which was a gift from my eldest daughter. She picked up a copy for me at Westminster Abbey in London during a vacation this past summer. So far it is proving to be a most fascinating read! If you would like more details you can check it out here. Definitely recommended for those interested in history, royalty, and/or medicine.

I was going through my Mom's things, and came across this news clipping from 1961. My Mom is Toni Demeter, and I like the answer that she gave to the reporter.

How would you answer? I think my own answer would be similar to my Mom's with the exception that I would like the money that some very famous people have accumulated.

Sorting through old photos, and my Mom's personal files have actually helped in my coping with her recent death. I feel closer to her, and my thoughts are turning to happy memories, instead of the intense pain that I felt since her diagnosis, and death.

These photos were taken at the 2009 re-enactment of the Battle of Fort Erie.

Canadian National Exhibition Poster, 1919

On 12 September 2009, the national edition of The Globe and Mail (Focus & Book section) will carry a notice formally announcing the Canadian First World War Internment Recognition Fund. Grant application details will be provided that inform all Canadians who wish to research, commemorate or otherwise mark what happened to Ukrainians and other Europeans during Canada's first national internment operations of 1914-1920.
