Preserving Memories, Building Relationships and Rekindling Connections
“Memories are like jewels, before they're kept, they are found. Each day we're making more of them: be sure they're safe and sound".
- Robert E. Lewis, author of Misty Meadow Memories and Misty Meadow Adventure Books
"Be careful not to forget the Lord your God who brought you out of Egypt, out of the Land of Slavery".
Deuteronomy 6:12
"Boarded doors and windows make a vain attempt to preserve the memories that time has long since spent."
- Robert E. Lewis
Hi, I am Jerry Lewis, the owner of Misty Meadow Memories! As the founder of this incredible venture, I am thrilled to have you here. I want to share with you the importance of remembering and how we can keep God's blessings alive in our memories. This website is designed to assist you in preserving and cherishing your precious moments, as well as helping you create new memories and reconnect with loved ones.
Rekindling Connections
Through my podcast, Misty Meadow Memories, I have the wonderful opportunity to reignite friendships that may have been lost in the sands of time. I interview individuals who share similar backgrounds and experiences, focusing on the profound influence of growing up in Rural Ontario, particularly on farms. Together, we explore how these rural roots have shaped us into the individuals we are today.
Captivating Stories From Rural Ontario
My first podcast episode will feature an engaging discussion on Robert E Lewis' new book, which delves into his life experiences on a farm in Rural Ontario, in the charming village of Altona. Through stories and imagery, I aim to transport you to the picturesque landscapes and timeless traditions of rural life.
The Altona Heritage Group Connection
At Misty Meadow Memories, I firmly believe that our family and ancestry play a significant role in shaping who we are. I have personally been touched by the influence of my grandparents, the Pughs, and the Reesors, whose legacies continue to inspire and guide me. We explore the intricate connections between family, heritage, and our individual identities, unravelling the stories that have shaped us through generations.
Preserving Memories through Photography
As an avid photographer with over 50 years of experience, I have passionately collected over half a million images, capturing moments ranging from vacations and family reunions to breathtaking scenery and cherished weddings. I firmly believe that these memories belong to the subjects of the pictures, which is why I offer services to help you display, preserve, and digitize your treasured photographs. Imagine reliving those special moments while safeguarding them for future generations.
Reconnecting in a Post-Covid World
The Covid-19 pandemic has created a sense of isolation and separation from our friends, family, and loved ones. Now, more than ever, it is crucial to renew those connections and create new memories with those we may have lost touch with. Misty Meadow Memories is here to assist you in bridging that gap and rekindling those cherished relationships through my various services, from photo books to video creation.
During the Covid-19 lockdown, I took the opportunity to digitize over 13,000 pages of my Daytimer, nearly 50 years of recording every day. I also scanned 50,000 prints and slides, as a way to honour the importance of preserving our life's journey. I believe that history and memories provide valuable lessons for the future, allowing us to learn from our experiences and avoid repeating the same mistakes.
Podcast: Reflections; Walking the (Township) Line
Jerry's next podcast will be called, "Reflections: Walking the (Township) Line". This podcast will reflect on memories over the last 50 years.
