When I looked at the date today some random memories came to me of a small white-haired elderly lady.
She used to sing Irish songs and Catholic hymns with me, make sure that I knelt beside my bed to say my prayers, bought me many bags of caramel sweets and fed me egg-flips, corned beef and mashed potato and roast dinners. She grew up in
Dungog, NSW and was living in
Canowindra when she hooked up with my grandfather
Thomas William Curry. I wonder why she moved from one small country town to another in the early 1900s but I guess I will never know.

What lovely pictures to have. You never know, maybe one day you will find something that explains the move.
Happy 125th Birthday Mary Tierney. Corned beef & mash, roast dinners and caramels... yum
