I so often think of the...What a beautiful photo...<br /><br />I so often think of the hundreds of 'my' people (Scots from the Outer Hebrides) who left to go to Canada. I've posted before about my mum's aunt, who left here (Isle of Lewis) on the SS Metegama in 1923. She died in Vancouver of TB shortly after that, but we still have relatives in BC and in Ontario. Your country is such a wonderful country, and so many of our forefathers helped make it what it is today.<br />Don't really know why I began telling that.... just that you mentioned how hard it was for so many people in past generations. I'm in constant awe of them...Homeschool on the Crofthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03400742529025230433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4963892672915524891.post-55693866786464070942011-05-31T06:28:13.130-07:002011-05-31T06:28:13.130-07:00Lovely photo and three cheers for the washing mach...Lovely photo and three cheers for the washing machine and coffee maker ; )))Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14178550487887726672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4963892672915524891.post-16216269821969957822011-05-30T18:17:52.508-07:002011-05-30T18:17:52.508-07:00Great shot.

And I know that any hardships I endure today are nothing by comparison. Thank goodness for washing machines! (I used a ringer washer once, and it was sorta fun, because it was a new adventure. But we lost a lot of buttons, that then had to be resewn. No fun if you had to do that every week. )GardenOfDaisieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03110646840082802721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4963892672915524891.post-91370628716223357892011-05-29T11:37:07.935-07:002011-05-29T11:37:07.935-07:00Great post!
