Remembering...

With a little camera that used 120 cartridge film in 1979, I didn't get sharp photos, and I didn't know about composition...but the memories...

Journaling:
My dad always valued family and reunions, but he also said one didnt need to attend but every five years. In 1979, I was grown with a family of my own, attending a Kennamer reunion and listening to my father describe life in the house where he was born, the house his father had built from a kit in 1910. The little house had two bedrooms, a kitchen and living room for a family of thirteen. The boys slept in one room and the girls in another. During the summer, my dad said they slept on the porch that wrapped around the house. I remember him telling us that very little had changed, except that a bathroom had been added on one side of the wrap-around porch. When I went to see the house in June 2011, except for the roof line, I hardly recognized it. Even the storm cellar my young son had explored was gone. Although the current owner recognized our family name and invited us inside, I didnt want to see the changes. Inside my head, I know time brings change, but my heart wanted to remember my dad standing on the porch describing his life in the little farm house. Journaling, July 2012
Beautiful page and beautiful memories. These moments make us realize how time passes yet our hearts remember and we want to go back. Lovely page.
