Mom and Pop Bardsley

My Grandmother knew what life was about: no one left her home with an empty belly, without getting a hug and without hearing her say "I love you". You felt like you were the most important person in her life. She touched the hearts and souls of everyone that met her but none more so than me.

Spring Mount Bridge
1913
My cousin Bonnie and I came flying down a hill,
on her bike, onto this bridge in the 60's,
Bonnie driving, me on the handle bars and crashed right in the middle.
Our summer's growing up in Spring MT were the best!
And I couldn't count how many times we went swimming in the Perkiomen

I guess my Dad (William T. Bardsley) grew up in a lot of different places, he was born in West Virginia, but from the time I was born Spring Mount, PA was the family homestead.

quote text

"To forget one's ancestors is to be a brook without a source, a tree without a root."

~Chinese proverb~

„To co weszł‚o w zwyczaj niech zwyczajem zostanie, a to, co było, coś›my od ojców zasłyszeli, lub sami jeszcze widzieli, przekażmy tym, co po nas przyjdą pomni, że gdzie była przeszł‚ość, tam i przyszł‚ość‡ bę™dzie…” – Leon Potocki 1854 r.
"What has become a habit let it remain a habit, and this, what was, what we heard from our fathers, or we have seen already by ourselves, pass to those who will come after us; remembering that where the past was, there, also, the future will be..." – Leon Potocki 1854.
