thick as pea soup


Mom 1945

 

We called our livining room the double parlor.. It
was also a bedroom.We also had a gallery . In the summer it became
"Balcony Beach"

There was alot of Verdun expressions.

I remember being at the sir Winston Churchill pup,
after someone heard me speak they said 'You must be from
Verdun"

I have travelled quite extensively  through Canada, the Yukon and the U.S.A. and you would be surprised how many people you can "recognize" through their expressions.  Once down in Cancun, at a bullfight, I heard people next to me talking about there being no shadflies down in this part of the world....yup....you guessed it, I asked and found out they were from Verdun!!!

being brought up in crawfordpark, verdun was special..I lived  in a large two storey flat . My parents had 9 children, 7 girls and  twin boys.and we were not the only one with a large family.on  hot summer nights we use to sleep on our balcony and pass goodies across to our neighbour on her balcony..Verdun was a special place, they had things to do for their children ..When i talk to ex verdunites, most of them say they all go back to Verdun for a short visit.
