Sixth Generation

She sits there in the old rocking chair, reading to the little one. The three year old reader, Sylvie, is not exactly reading the book. She is telling a story to her almost two year old sister, Caitlin, under the guise of reading. The pictures help with the narrative.

The old rocking chair was owned originally by their great great great grandmother, Mary Hearn. They are the latest to rock there, following the women in their mother's line, starting in Petty Harbour, Newfoundland, now in Prince Edward Island.

The chair wraps its arm around all who sit there, for six generations now. And...the future looks bright!
