Cemetary lights


Walking home from work last night i snapped this picture of some strange lights in the cemetery. I have no idea what they are but they vanished as quickly as they appeared.

Hespeler Choir

This is from the early 40's. It was a choir put together during the war and all members were from Hespeler. My Mother was in the choir and remembers that they may not have been a great choir but they sure had a lot of fun.

Backyard of my youth


This is the backyard of the house that i grew up in on Cooper street. My parents built the house in 1969 beside the old family house on Cooper. This is a picture from the seventies. I remember having to cut the grass at this house as well as the adjoining house on many occasions. I also remember being able to lay out in the sun and enjoy the peace and quiet of the area. But things change and not always for the better. The gap between the two house beyond our backyard is no longer there as the house on the left has built an addition that blocks any view of Hungerford road. If that addition had of been there when i grew up my friends and i would never have been able to hit golf balls with a baseball bat to see how far they would go. Ah! The memories.
