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

Day 85 - I cannot believe I have gone for more than 50 years without knowing about the Mapparium Globe in Boston, USA!! I just discovered this while I was scrolling through the Atlas Obscura website looking for interesting places to highlight and the map caught my eye.
This map was created in the early 1930s so it is now some 80 years out of date, (and that is older than my parents!!) but it does show the Empires that were still in place before World War 2 broke out. Many many countries became independent after that war which changed the whole political map rather drastically!!
You can visit the Mapparium at the Mary Baker Eddy library at 200 Massachusetts Avenue in Boston, Mass, USA.
