Looking backward - way, way back

I have been part of several 100th anniversary celebrations in the past - SSJD, St. John’s Anglican Church, Trafalgar School for Girls.

Now there are starting to be 125th anniversary celebrations. I much enjoyed last year’s at the convent in Toronto.

Now St. George’s Anglican Church which I attend on Wednesday morning is celebrating 125 years. They are planning a dress up event and a meal with recipes from that era.

When I thought about the date I realized that in 1885 my mom’s mom was born. She died 25 years ago at the ripe old age of 99 - just a few months short of her 100th birthday.
