Off to Slovakia



Ida arrived in Ottawa on Monday, April 26 at 2:30 p.m. She was up at 5:00 a.m. - Seinfeld addicts are reminded of Nana - and took the bus here. She brought with her two covers for the Canadian Family Scrapbooks. We made one for each family - the Osvalds and Krupkas. The scrapbook contains:
The Canadian family tree, a map of Canada with the map of Slovakia superimposed, comparing the size of both countries. The map also shows where Ida's family are now located - from Fort McMurray to Halifax, family photos and a story.
The story is woven through the photos. It was my first attempt at a scrapbook and it looks pretty good. Judie Sparling, Ida's daughter, made the covers, they're beautiful Judie!! Thanks for doing that! It will make a special gift for each family.
