Welcome to my world.....


Enjoy!!

Well, now that the holiday season is over it's time to get back to work on transcribing my grandparents' letters home to their children during their years in China... guess that sounds boring to some but I find their letters quite interesting. They were missionaries in China from 1898 to 1938 and during the period 1921 to 1928 their children were sent back to Canada to be educated.... what ensued were letters at least twice a week from their parents talking about everyday life in China and some mention of some of the more historical events that took place then.

I have them all, over 700 of them and am transcribing them to the computer for family posterity at the least.

They are availnble to read at http://www.themissionarychronicles.com if anyone is interested.

Still searching around to find a place to call home for the winters...I know I enjoy Florida and Greece, but I don't know just where in either of those locations... I do know it must be near water...

If I had all the money in the world the search would be simple, but instead I hope to meet someone in one of those locations or perhaps another who would like a real relationship with an older man and be able to share his home with me while I share mine in Toronto with him when he visits me. Toronto and Ontario, Canada is a beautiful place to be in the summer...
