This site is for family and friends with photos as well as some sb pages.
I have another site,http://chinadollscrapping.weebly.com where I have been posting all the layouts I create using my digiscrapbooking programs and kits. However, I now want to separate the layouts I make for the designers as advertising, from the layouts I make for family albums. Most of the pages will be the same, but here you will only find family albums. I hope my family will enjoy this different look into our family life.

MOVED MY ENGLAND AND EUROPE PHOTOS TO TRAVEL - 2016 ENGLAND & EUROPE
You know me...I just can't stop taking photos of the beautiful places we have traveled this trip or of the wonderful people we have met. Yes, some of the photos are taken from the windshield of the car, but, hey, that seems to be normal for our trips. So enjoy the rest of our journey.

Aug 30, 2016: Sue & Paul took us out into the country side to see a few places. One village I requested to go to is Wherwell. My sister, in her family research, discovered this village in England is the birthplace/home of the ancestors of our Grandfather's Great Grandmother (I think that is right). Our Grandfather's middle name is Osgood and my sister traced that family name back to this village in England. Here are a few photos I took of the village yesterday! We couldn't find any one out that could give us any information, but just walking around the village was really fascinating.
John Osgood (July 23, 1595 - October 24, 1651)
In the year 1630, ten years after the Pilgrims stepped on to the shore of Plymouth, Mass., Robert Osgood died at his home, Cottingworth, in Wherwell, England. He was the father of our emigrant, John Osgood. At that time John had been married to Sarah Booth for three years and they were the parents to either one or two children. Six years later they had four children; Sarah, John, Mary, and Elizabeth. Through these years John supported the young family by working the Cottingworth Farm with his main crop being wheat.
The year 1637 was a difficult one for most Englishman, and the family of John Osgood was no exception. Three different problems afflicted their lives.
Information from my sister - I'll post her source soon.

The year 1637 was a difficult one for most Englishman, and the family of John Osgood was no exception. Three different problems afflicted their lives.
- Like the Pilgrims, who left England before them, the Family was the victim of religious intolerance which manifested itself in a church which had become doctrinely dogmatic. Past customs in the Church, which revolved around a community focus, were changing to a more rigid and structured service. Parishoners were being told how to worship and this caused dissension to grow in the ranks of the citizenry.
- The second repressive feature of their lives was the Kings Ship Money Levy. This tax placed a significant hardship on John Osgood and his friends. Many had to sell property, that was producing crops, in order to to pay the tax.
- The final adversity was Mother Nature. The year 1637 proved to be a year of total crop failure, and this was followed by the River Test over flowing its banks on to the fields of Cottingworth in the Spring of 1638. This prevented John Osgood from planting his crop of wheat for that year.

August 31, 2016 - China Gathering at our friends home.
Sept 1 - CS Lewis Day in Oxford. Michael wanted to trek through CS Lewis country today, so we went to The Kinles (Lewis' home), then we found the church where he attended and is burried, then into town to the pub he and his friends frequented. It was another great day.
Sept 2 - Trip into Reading by train to see friends of Michael's from the original Xiamen Days.
Sept 3 - PACKING!!! Ready to head to Coventry to speak a couple of times on Sunday before we head to the other main conference on our schedule next week!
Lost track of the days! At the UCCF youth conference for the week.
So close..so...Paul took me on a quick trip across the border into Wales....the country side is beautiful. We also saw a unique rainbow in the valley. By the time we could stop, it was fading, but still got a couple of photos.
