In the beginning ...

My daughter's blog is so inspiring, she suggested I could do one, too ... and I believed her! Thank you, Laurel, for helping me with the set-up. Since I'm not a design major, like you, I suspect this one will be a bit rough around the edges -- but then, so am I.

Whomever I direct to this blog, here is the disclaimer: I'll try my best to keep it interesting, but I appologize to everyone in advance for boring you -- be gentle with your comments!

Standing on the very spot of my earliest memory in life, outside the Buffalo Nations Luxton Museum in Banff, Alberta, Canada. I remember it was a sunny day, I was standing on the banks of this river, I was barely taller than the grass, and there was a dragonfly ... the beginning of a very good life!
* found my mother's diary of this very trip, and now know this was Wednesday, June 8, 1960 ... so, it's not my first memory, but a very special one, one that lay forgotten until I happened to drive by the spot I thought I'd never been & was suddenly overwhelmed with deja vu. Memory is a fascinating thing, sometimes laying dormant and waiting for a smell, a sound, some trigger, to bring it all back, so fresh.
