This is so fun and an interesting way to almost write a book but with history, photos and old ephemera!!!

This is so gorgeous, Rita! You knocked it out of the park. 😍 I love the story behind it and all the little details that make it cohesive and memorable. I am not surprised it’s gone, what a treasure.

My folks grew up in the same area too. No more orange groves, I remember them too.

[@ritajensen8311]

I still can remember the smell of the orange blossoms and well as the oranges! It's funny that you can remember a scent🍊🧡🍊

You do lovely work. You have inspired me to do something will the pictures I have of my relatives from early 1900's.

[@ritajensen8311]

That would be great. Here is a playlist of a journal I made called Family History JJ 🤗kzbin.info/aero/PLQOUbN8ZjhPR3EcawsP7J4kKicnklbT7r&si=YexDLqM5eqV4C5gX

[@user-jc3yf4rj4w]

Thank you for letting me know. I had look at family history and I will watch the videos. I am always gathering family history and people giving me things. I have photos when my grandparents worked in logging camps in Algonquin Park which is a famous park in Ontario Canada. I live 30 minutes from the park.

[@darlenebrowning6832]

I just happened to see your journal as I was scanning for something to watch...and boy am I glad I did. I absolutely love your journal...you have many things on this journal I would never have thought of, well done. Keep up the good work, I will be watching for your next project.

[@ritajensen8311]

Thank you so much! Glad you took time to join me! 🤗

[@MessyPaperCrafter]

This was such a fun journal! The story was the best. I grew up in California. We lived in LaVerne until I was 18, then moved to Orange County. I lived in TX for a number of years and now I’m in Oklahoma, just a stones throw from Moore lol This was really fun to listen to and see.

[@ritajensen8311]

One of my sons lives in LaVern and I am from Fullerton, Yorba Linda area then here in North Georgia. My brother was stationed at Fort Lawton and then lived in Moore, now in Mustang! Even a smaller world🤗

[@MessyPaperCrafter]

@@ritajensen8311 WOW!!! It’s almost crazy we haven’t crossed paths. When I first moved to the OC from LaVerne with my Mom we were in Placentia and when I got married I moved a mile away to Fullerton ☺️ Now in Yukon! So interesting the more I learn! 💜 Idk how long your son had lived in LaVerne, but I do miss the orange groves there. I still remember them tearing them down and moving a historic home. Thanx for bringing back memories!
