Photo Dump “My Parents Wedding Shower”
In the newest photo dump of my family history these were a part of it. My Grandma Betty is wonderful. She saved everything from us grandchildren and her children and of hers and Grandpa’s. One of the major reasons for this is due to the fact that she was raised during the Great Depression. There…

Reading Books
Growing up we watched PBS quite a bit. One of the Shows was Reading Rainbow with LeVar Burton. Oddly we also watched Mr. Rogers honestly, if anything his mannerisms in his life and his show came off differently to people. So why do I now have a much different opinion on both of these shows…

More Heirlooms & Goosebumps
Over the years I have seen Grandma bring out little boxes that she has stowed items in. The insignia’s Grandpa wore on his service uniforms Dad brought them home from the house today. Everyone knows my interest in these things, but Dad is also showing his want for us to keep them in the family.…

Not Interfering
During a hearing on Capitol Hill Attorney General Merrick Garland was obstinate. How can he do his job as AG and not know a single thing about any case he has authority over? Of course, we dodged a bullet with this guy under Obama when he was a candidate for Supreme Court Judge. Thank You…

Surreal
Out of the entire last 24 to 48 hours I have been selfishly seeking prayers for Grandma. For some reason, I knew this would be so difficult for her to grasp. Aunt Carol was her right hand for so many things. Then this morning hearing how she took the news last night made me feel…
