A small update to my genealogy database today – ANZAC Day 2016 – 102 years since the start of World War 1 – “The Great War”. First, my cousin Andrew Moffat, who has our grandfather’s medals from World War 1 sent me decent photographs of them a few weeks ago. I have now got them…
We were honoured to be invited to the wedding of Ericka Patterson and Kenneth Smith. Ken is the older son of a friend from Lisa’s work. In years past (pre digital camera!) we attended many of his sports games. What a GREAT wedding. I’ll let the pictures below speak for themselves.

On our way to Bar Harbor, Maine, we stopped in Rochester, New York, to visit my cousin Martin Lineham and his family. Rochester is about 9 hours drive – 560 miles (900 km)- from Grand Rapids when travelling via Cleveland, so we left a bit after 0830 and got to Rochester about 1730 (5:30 PM)….

This one is perhaps the most difficult one so far. It starts out as a tiny 2 ½ x 3 ¼ print, so there’s not a lot to work with getting started… Still quite a bit of work to do yet on this one.
Saturday 9 January was the Quad Swim Meet for Byron Center, Zeeland, Rockford and a team called “Heat”, although I don’t remember what school they were. This is part of the West Michigan Swim League. Zoe wasn’t swimming today – she was a Church Camp, but Kyle competed in a Relay and 2 Individual events….

Here are a couple of before and after shots of some olde photos I’ve fixed up for a friend. After scanning the photos it was lots of time with the tools available in Photoshop to Clone, Heal and Patch the damage. The second photo had been torn nearly through and then “fixed” with sellotape at…
