My father took home movies when my brother and I were young. We watched them regularly in the early years - but for a long time now the reels have sat in a box, untouched.
My brother (the child on the left) had them transferred to digital format and recently sent me a version I could watch on a smartphone or computer.
We've come a long way!
A few days ago, I watched one of the old reels.
I sat transfixed, remembering our first visit to Kelowna in 1957.
My grandmother (above) - probably stepping out of the kitchen. Is that a clothesline full of white sheets top left?!
It looks so peaceful!
My uncle Bob - age 16 or 17 - putting the smallest cousin on a horse.
I understand now why my parents fell in love with the area - and why, two years later, our family moved there.
Watching it all really took me back!
