Photo Dump “My Parents Wedding Shower”
In the newest photo dump of my family history these were a part of it. My Grandma Betty is wonderful. She saved everything from us grandchildren and her children and of hers and Grandpa’s. One of the major reasons for this is due to the fact that she was raised during the Great Depression. There…

When my Grandpa Leo died I had no idea how much that would turn me upside down in a way. Music was my childhood I lived and breathed music. I sang while cleaning and washing dishes my grandparents, parents and uncles were always scaring me in the middle of singing high the notes. They seemed…
