This is yesterday’s post today…..not sure why, but a second I don’t really feel like doing anything, slept in and got some stuff done around the house..and apparently the cold is supposed to arrive tomorrow morning..and still no SNOW!

So yesterday was a good day….no training, just a bit of reflection.

A bit of quiet time, spent some quality time with my aging parents and a visting sister….reflected on some ancient family history, some things I remember parts of, but not all, my dad and mom nope, and before my sister was born.

It’s interesting what you remember…..I’m remembering bits and pieces from almost 60 years ago, family connections, friends and relations, and just history.

Back when my mom was working in downtown edmonton as a telephone operator, my dad and I would go pick her up after work, we’d watch a show called Route 66 and go in my dad’s 1962 Pontiac, along the way, we would stop and visit who I thought was a family friend…..I don’t remember names, I know the where, I sort of remember a face…but my parents have no idea who…..

there’s a few other stories and history we’re trying to work through and piece together..

Have to do it all quickly, dad’s 90, mom turns 90 on January 16th…….up until today we thought on Ukrainian Christmas which this year is January 14th, but apparently mom has done some research and came up with what she believes is the right date she was born.

Both seem okay, Mom’s not the greatest, sleeps a lot and doesn’t seem to want to do much…

Dad’s at least okay, hearing isn’t the greatest……not driving, but seems alright.

The younger sister, her history is gone….for some reason, well the parents are downsizing, so they’re selling and getting rid of a lot of things, like photos and photo albums, and my sisters photoalbums! lol!

I’ve been a good older brother, I’m digging through what I have saved…….and so far found a few things, but not a lot……

I like history, family history, my history, the history of my old neighborhood, and old friends that I grew up with in the ‘hood, and went to school with…..

I’m not sure if it’s at all important, but that connection is something I like…..
