About Me
New to Digital Scrapbooking, just started in 2019, want to make a record of family stories before my mother passes away. My dad died in 2016. I currently live in Canada but was born and raised in New Zealand, and emigrated to Canada upon marrying my Canadian spouse. Home Country - lets see - New Zealand or Canada? Which to choose? Most of my photos will be from NZ, but any pics of my son will be from Canada. MY IP Address will say that I am in Canada which is fine. My mother and sister are still back in NZ so I will make my home country as NZ for now. For Facebook, I dont check it every day - I am not addicted to FB, and I use a different name for privacy. My image is myself as a child - aged about 2 or 3 years old

As a family we were never big on celebrating birthdays. We still aren't. In my own family, I grew up having a party every 5 years - so on my 5th, 10th, 15th and 21st birthdays, I got to celebrate. (We had to choose between 20th and 21st parties - we could not have both). My grandfather got to celebrate his 80th birthday party in 1974 which happened to be the same year that I turned 10. So for my birthday celebration, I was allowed to fly UNACCOMPANIED down to Dunedin to represent my family at his birthday party. This page celebrates my paternal grandfather. He was the only one of my 4 grandparents that I remember and that I knew well.
