BARB'S GENEALOGY TIDBITS- BOOK REVIEWS FOR KAWARTHA BRANCH

 I can not help every branch to which I belong.

So I decided since I have written a series of articles on Ball Point Mariposa Township City of Kawartha Lakes ( Victoria County) I would try to use my resources for that branch.

To add some filler to the Kawartha Branch newsletter I have written several reviews on books from the area.

It is surprising how much information gets accumulated but is not used for my own family lines. So sharing this information and hoping someone can use it.

Books Reviewed- Mariposa Township

The Scugog Carrying Place

On the Shores of Scugog

Scugog and its Environs

Anyone interested in a review can contact me and I can forward to you. Or just look up these resources online.

BLESSINGS-HOW MANY DO YOU HAVE?

 We often complain about so much. What we missed? What we don't have? 

Looking at some people who seem never to experience any hardship.

If we stop and count our own blessings then life becomes sweeter.

Family.

Friends.

Love.

A full belly.

Being Canadian.

More stuff than we know what to do with.

Well you get the picture!


Of course for me the colour purple~~

RED AND WHITE-COLOURS WITH FEELING



So the red.  My June poppies.


Then the white. My June Peonies.

Perusing my picture folders today I came across these beautiful flowers. 

So rather than rhetoric, simple pictures speak a thousand words.
