Listening To a Veteran
When Papaw Freddy told me his list of men I needed to interview his brother-in-law was high on the list. This was among the first couple I was able to do while Papaw was still alive. It was important to him, my Great Uncle Tom was a special man and I could see it in…

1890
The world in 1890 was much different when this little girl was born today. Dugger where she lived most of her life was a mining town and she lived just south of the town. Ironically, I just described myself, but I will come back to this thought later. Mining would be a part of her…

When we arrived in Madison, Sunday night we immediately looked for restaurants. Take a guess? What was the top food fare in the city? Clifty Falls Park was quite the exercise regimen we needed. Although going to the Smaller Clifty Falls was much more advanced for me and Dad. We had to literally take some…

Life Goes On
Mom and I actually got to the house early this morning. We had the baked goods and what we needed for our final day of the sale. The sale will go on tomorrow until 1 pm, but we will be at a young ladies Wedding Shower for an upcoming Wedding early next year. This young…

A Glorious Day
By the grace of God, I was able to watch live and listen to the roll call vote held today. I cannot tell you how nearly goose-bump awesome it was when I realized the vote was on and they were already into the ‘B’s and I heard only Johnson from Republicans. For the first time…
