Memories to Cherish

Graham gingerbread house

I am no longer as active as before on fb. I just visit it once or twice a day just to check out if there is a good information coming from my relatives and good friends. Just scrolling down checking what they are doing. One of the good thing on fb is, it reminds me of what I did last year, on what day and what I have posted about when I was in my home in the Philippines or here in German. Good memories that I have forgotten. Today on December 2012, I was making a Graham crackers gingerbread house with my small niece Ethel who was still in elementary grade at that time. On this day also but in the year 2016, I was baking pumpkin/squash cake. Both of these happenings I was in the Philippines, spending my winter season from Germany, in my tropical country. How sunny and warm was my Christmas time. Is it not great? I am reminded of what I have done today in the years that past. Anyway, have a wonderful Thursday everyone. The sun is shining as I can see it from my bed. I have to get up and make my first creamy tea of the day. Thanks for reading. Photo is the Graham gingerbread house that I made with my niece.

I have my digital photos sorted so that I can look what I did in the past years. I do not like a lot to use FB to post personal photos.

@LadyDuck I have a lot of backups but the photos on my iPhone now are not in a backup, yet. I have to do it when I have time.

That's a fun thing Facebook offers. I'm not on it much anymore. My DIL sends me photos and videos of the kids directly to my photos now.

FB is for me to remember birthdays. I couldn't keep up with the dates anymore. At least FB will notify me on who's birthday is today.

What a lovely gingerbread house. I wouldn't be able to eat it, even if it looks delicious. I am also not on Facebook as frequently, mainly because I can see nothing on there anymore but negativity - people arguing or calling each other out, couples airing out their issues, and many more. It just does not help my state of mind, so I decided to just not check it for days.
