SHE WOULD BE 100 YEARS OLD.

Nathan Agle shares his birthday with
Leone Irene Christenson Agle Anderson.
She would be 100 years old this year so I thoughtI'd pay a tribute to her.
Anyone who knew her, knew that she was a very special lady.
This is from a family picture taken around 1914 when Leone was about 2 years old.  What a cutie.

Here she is with her sweet little brother who died a short time later
from the Spanish Flu that killed so many people in the world.

She married Magne Agle when she was 19 years old.
Six years later she would be a widow with a little 4 year old son.

Leone remarried a few years later and found a wonderful new father for Dennis.

This picture was taken with Axel, Dennis and Leone around 1949.
From that union two more children were added, Barbara and Tina.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NATHAN JOSEPH AGLE

Yup!  I believe those are muscles developing in this 13 year old.  Happy birthday Natan and best wishes from all.

REMEMBER WHEN . . .

(Did this not recall any memories (comments) to anyone??????


Dennis jr. came upon this site last night and forwarded it to me. WOW how things have changed. When we visited a few years back they were just beginning the renovation. When the Agle jr.'s went for their 25th anniversary Dennis said they were a long way from where it is now. Anyway, here is the site that you can look around yourself,(http://www.royalconnaughtpark.com) or just check out the pictures I've posted. Now as then, it will probably be a great place to live, but a tad more expensive. 1 mil+ pounds.
I think they have done a wonderful job.  They had to keep the integrity of the outside because of it is listed on the historical register.

They've given all the areas names like York, Windsor, King Edward, Devonshire, etc.  Our house is called the JFK area.  You know how those Irish loved JFK.  (It is an Irish group that is developing the property).
There was a lot of restoration work that had to be done on the outside.  Very costly.  All my beautiful roses are gone, but the entrance looks lovely.



The swimming pool never looked so good. 
Great job.

Not quite like the bathrooms we had!



Our house (now apt 6, first floor only) is the bottom right, (black & grey).  The living room is smaller and the kitchen is where the dining room was and a bedroom where the kitchen was.  Bathroom is same and then to the left, they've made another bedroom and bathroom from part of the great room.  Apt 8, bedroom 1 is where Ken had his bedroom.

This display cabinet of the Lancasters was moved into the living room but the wall behind it was white, so the beautiful pottery didn't show up until Julie gave it a coat of pale blue paint. Lovely!
