We usually run a slideshow of old pictures at our family Christmas dinner. Since we are not having our large family meal this year – due to COVID – I am posting some here. 🙂
1973 – Cerwin with a pike – near Poplar Hill, in western Ontario, Canada. (Age 32)
1974 – Me and Deb (That is Cerwin’s dad in the background.)
I was thirty years old – this is when we sometimes talked about what it would be like to grow old together. Now here we are. Cerwin will be 80 in 2021 and I will be 77.
Sisters: Diane and Deb

I enjoyed going through old pictures and trying to use a variety of events that included each of our children and grandchildren.
Our grandchildren-in-law and great grandchildren aren’t in our family long enough to qualify for “old” pictures. 🙂
A joy to see your family. A real joy to remember Milton and Bruce.
So glad you enjoyed them.
Love the pictures! Merry Christmas and wishing you a happy, healthy New Year!
Thank you – and the same to you.
I love these photos of a family as it grew larger and older! I hope the younger generation enjoys them as much as you do!
I think the younger generation are enjoying them as well as I already got a few comments from grandchildren.
