Reflections on Another Day

©2003 by Susan Noyes Anderson, His Children, Vantage Point Press

Come, speak to me of times gone by.
Remind me of our carefree youth.
Recall with me those nights we sang
and laughed and thought we knew the truth.

Come, speak to me of times gone by.
Remind me of my dancing feet.
Recall with me those days we knew
the world was ours, and life was sweet.

Format#2, Reunion pictures

I have provided two formats for those who might have difficulty opening the files.
There are more photographs to come.
Unfortunately, my camera's batteries failed after I had only take a few pictures.

Know from whence
you came
because if you know
from whence you came
There is no limit
to where you can go.

Grant Family Reunion, August 1, 2010

GRANT FAMILY REUNION, August 1, 2010

Descendants of John Alexander (Sandy) Grant and Theresa Isabella MacDonald

Many families’ ancestral ties reach across the sea. Immigrants who journey to a new land and struggled to settle here and lived fascinating adventures. Their saga deserves to be recorded, both as a tribute to their courage and as a reminder how far we came.

Keeping up with brothers, sisters and other members of the current generation can be as challenging as researching your family history. Now is the time to get together to meet the Grant Clan in Maxville Ontario this summer 2010 and celebrate our heritage and reconnect with our long lost cousins and for the younger generation to discover the great heritage that is theirs.
