Memories - Part 4

A good snapshot stops a moment forever - I have boxes of photos waiting to be enjoyed and remembered again because, to me, a trip to Nostalgia now and then is good for the spirit! I hope you agree! Here then : Memories, part 4....

Memories - Part 3



As Marie and I prepare for another year in a new city we will continue to record the events of our lives, both happy, sad and funny. Let's not forget that many of these special moments last all of a second, the time it takes to capture them on camera, and in many cases they will live on forever: in someone's heart and memory, on a blog like this or in a treasured photo album. Often we come across an old picture, hear a song, find an old forgotten letter or Christmas card slipped between the pages of a book, or for no particular reason are suddenly reminded of a special moment that we thought we had forgotten. If you have been following this blog over the last few years you will know I have twice gone back into time and posted some older family photos that are near and dear to me. Continuing that tradition here then are some memories of the Christmas Marie, Phil and I spent in Brooksville, Florida in December 2005....

Life gives us brief moments with another...but sometimes in those brief moment we get memories that last a life time. Thanks for sharing these with me. gws
