I will try and follow Sioux's line of thought.

I was born in Dunnville Ontario and so were my sister, Betty and my brother, Teddy. The family moved to Welland where Dad had a job at the Union Carbide I think. We lived in a big house with my Aunt Annabelle and Uncle Roy and their two children. One big happy family, where one more baby was added and that was my brother, Gary. Dad Golden lost his job and so did Uncle Roy, so while Mom Golden went to work at the Blue Star Restaurant, Aunt Annabelle looked after the kids. Then Dad Golden got a job for the Canadian Air Force in Trenton, Ontario. He used to have to hitch-hike almost two hundred miles every week to get there. I remember how we used to really miss him. One morning we got up, all four of his children and saw he was home. We all jumped into bed where he and Mom Golden were sleeping. To this day, I can remember the huge crash as the bed broke!!! Well we ended up living in Trenton and left our relatives in that big house. When we moved to Trenton, I was six years old and that is where I first started school in grade one. Dad was a fireman for the Air Force and Mom was finally a stay-at-home Mom for which we children were very happy. Three more children were born in Trenton; Sandra, Gracey and Gail, and then Dad Golden got the news that we were being transferred to Rivers Manitoba. I was 11 and those were the happiest years of my life, when we lived on the prairies. When we were transferred to Uplands, Ottawa Ontario my heart was breaking, and I left it buried in the prairies! I was 17. I finished my grade 13 in Ottawa and then I got a job in a convalescent hospital in Ottawa, The Pearly Hospital. That is where I found out what I really wanted in life and that was to look after the elderly. Betty was in a hospital where she worked in a baby ward but I used to tell her that I would never trade my "babies" for hers ever! When Dad Golden retired and he and the family moved to Welland area, we missed them so much and I spent many a lonely night after work. Then one day my brother Gary who had stayed in Ottawa with Betty and me brought a real nice boy home with him, Bernie. My life took a happy turn. I should of mentioned too, that in 1967 when the family were still all together, I attended special gospel meetings with the family[everybody but Dad Golden] where I found out that even though I was a rebellious sinner, that God had sent the Lord Jesus to die on the cross for me and when I learned that it was all for me, I was saved!....Although I was very happy about this, there was still a loneliness that disappeared when I met Bernie. Even so though, Betty and I missed the family so much that we quit our jobs in Ottawa and moved down to where the folks were....Welland! We left Bernie and Gary. They moved down a year later and then a few months after that Bernie and I were married. Betty was married a few months later. Now Bernie and I were never able to have children but that is OK. Betty and John have five and my other sisters and brothers have plenty! Oh I forgot to tell you that when we moved from my beloved prairies, we brought back to Ontario two more babies....David and Karen. I have lived a happy life because of my Dad being such a good provider and my Mom making sure that we went to Sunday School where we leaned about Jesus..

I am so long winded Sioux Sue, I know.....I am going to try and find some pictures to put on this meme later on.
Thank you for picking me and I am sorry that I never got it done sooner, but the last week I have really been keeping my eye on that amazing grace man Grandpaw Ron and I am happy to say that he is on the mend!
