Memories

I've been thinking a lot lately about family and the importance of staying connected with one's family. Maybe it's because I am rapidly approaching the big "6-0" and realizing that none of us is getting any younger. Also, just recently I put all those pictures from Jim's "Trip Down Memory Lane" last summer into my scrapbook. That process made me start thinking about all the stories we shared during both that experience and our cabin weekends, and how we have often talked about preserving some of those stories for our children and grandchildren. I realized, too, how we often wish we could get together more often and just share what is happening in our lives, but time, distance, and the busyness of life gets in the way.

That's when the idea of a Dombach Family blog began to take shape. A place where we can connect, where we can share what's happening in our lives and the lives of our individual families. Perhaps even share a few pictures of the grandchildren, etc.

The idea of a Heritage scrapbook has not been lost. I have the pictures. I have a few stories. It is still my hope to see that happen (if I can ever find some time to devote to the project). But in the meantime pehaps we can begin to preserve some of those memories by putting our stories into print.

Just a few rambling thoughts; I'm sure there will be more. For now, I will be working on setting up this blog site so that hopefully each of my brothers and sisters will be able to add their own thoughts.
