Family Reunion 2010

Hi everyone ,

We had ours family reunion on Sunday July 18 , we had 75 people there and they all had a great tme . I got some more family history that I didn't have and some more updates . The kids played games and did some face painting and won some door prizes . We had a lot of food and sweets for everyone and alot left over . Everyone took lots of pictures and we had a slideshow agian this year . We also had a birthday for Mum and her sister , Mum will be turning 90 years old and her sister will be turning 92 years old this , so we thought it would be a good time to have it , when they were both together . Now I have to rest up before I go back to work after my 2 weeks vacation . Then it back to work for a week , then it off to take part in Bueabassin dig on the 1st of August .

Well I guess that all for now , more later and yes it will be sooner ..

Old Photos

Hi all ,

Today I thought we would talk about old photos , I just got some old family photos from a cousin , First was of my greatgrandfather , Placide Arsenault , It was so great to get it , I added it to my website under family photos , then I got some more .. One of my great aunt Minnie Arsenault , daughter of Placide Arsenault and Jane Noiles . Also in the same photo , her husband George Gouchie , these photos tells a story in their own . Old family photos are a great way to your family history alive . when you are looking at old family photos , don't just look at the people or person in the photo , but look at what in the photos , by looking at what in the background , you can see what their life was like in a way . So here one of these photos that I just got , look at what in the background .. and you will see what I mean . Like the old ringer washer machine , and only one tap for water , which was alway cold water .. no hot water heater back then .

Thanks for visiting .

Rick .
