February is the Birthday month for two very important people in my life my Father & his Mother, my grandmother. I think of my family and the fantastic gardens at Grandma & Grandpa's house when I was a child.. The cottage, their summer place my Grandfather built is where the fishing happened. A good day is shown on the table below where many fishes were prepared for family meals over the years. The sound of the water takes me back to the cottage in the 1000 islands and long summer weekends with my father when I was a child.
This is a great photo I have of my grandmother, Clara from when my father was a child. I always remember her with white hair. Seeing younger grandma is inspiring to me. I appreciate her enthusiasm for gardening even more with these younger pics of her. Seeing the joy she has with her children show below,.
Happy Birthday Dad. We miss you and know you are with us in spirit. You taught us by your example every day.
He spent many hours with me showing and teaching me how to change the oil in the car or replace the brake pads. I cherish those memories and getting dirty for hours with him. As the kids from my neighborhood can tell you my father was the first to lend a hand when one of the bicycles needed to be repaired. He had a big heart and was always the one to step up and offer assistance. It is one of the core values I have that he taught me.

The results from a good day on the boat at the cottage. This table has been part of preparation of many family meals for many children whom have enjoy their time at the cottage in the 1000 Islands.
Grandma with two of her sons, My uncle Russell and my father. The same day as seen in the above pic with the happy fishermen in the pic. I am certain my grandfather caught a few of these also. as a rule all fishing people were taught how to bait their own hook. We had help if needed in reeling in our catch.
