This card from Norway was written over 100 years ago. A lifetime. I learned to ski about 70 years ago on the local golf course in Belmont Massachusetts.

January Remembered
The main thing I remember about this January is the skies. I never tire of skyscapes, and Orkney never tires of providing stunning ones.
Morning walks started in the dark, and as the month progressed the sun rose earlier and earlier. The saturated neons of the first half of the month gave way to pastels just as the cold spell hit us.
I love snow – even little bits! The past couple of weeks have been below zero with ice making the roads and pavements like a skating rink. Fortunately my granny wagon is excellent in the ice, so it was walks as usual.
At the very end of the month, we had a slight thaw, and I saw these snowdrops. Spring will come!
My Mother’s Photos
My mother liked to go on cruises. I wonder where this photo was taken. I want to say somewhere in the Baltic but I could be wildly wrong. I wish she had identified her photos in some way. I’m left to guess and look for clues. My mother passed almost 20 years ago and I still have a lot of her archive to go through.
Ancestor Count
My family tree continues to grow, The ancestor count now stands at 17,332.
