My Mom, known to most as Granny, asked if I would write the stories of her youth. Mom, Joan Margaret O'Flynn Madden Breakwell, also wrote stories about her grandchildren, her in-laws and also included some letters she wrote to friends. There are even a few of the stories that my grandfather, George, wrote when he was young. Hopefully this blog will be a record for our family, of our lives in Africa and the United States of America.
I have my own stories to tell too. I have letters that my Mom and Dad wrote to me whilst they were still living in Zimbabwe and they contain accounts of some significant events in our lives. The stories will be told in no particular order since I think it's better to have a record of them here than on random pieces of paper stuffed in a folder.
Several of us have a fondness for telling stories. Maybe our verbal renditions are more exciting that the written word, but I shall try my best to relate them in a way that will be interesting and at the same time paint a picture for the reader. Here goes nothing, people!
