Family and Loss; Army Style
Grandpa Freddy was personally selected to be the man for Rosemary by his future Mother-in-law. She was another force to be reckoned with like his own Mother. Jeannette Swan Robert was a woman who was dealt some harsh blows in her life. Her husband, the father of her 3 girls died in 1944 Rosemary was…

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…

Thoughts About Our Allies Israel
Each day new heartbreaking information comes out. Each being worse than the day before. If this is Israel’s version of 9/11 is so much worse than what we endured in those first few days. People died yes… but women raped, babies decapitated, Grandma’s taken hostage. None of that happened on our 9/11 and it’s still…

Uncles
The electricity was on and everything was fun otherwise, so I couldn’t understand why I had no internet last night. It worked fine until nearly 4 pm. Then when I returned from Mom’s flower shopping spree and eating it was as if the Wi-Fi was unplugged. How ironic to use that word, since it was…

Honoring A Senator: Diane Feinstein
Death is always a sad fact of life no matter the party affiliation. Her term was not set to end until January 2025. She had health issues though and it’s not being mentioned as to a specific symptom or illness that took her, but she had dealt with shingles and encephalitis and was absent from…

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…

A Prayer… Softly Answered
My Aunt has had a difficult year and has been physically, emotionally and spiritually tested. Today has been emotional even not being at the hospital with the others in the family. I have to admit I feel a bit fried and have cried sporadically today. I have a chunk of Grandma’s family photo stash and…
