• Hoosiers… and their Sweet Corn

  Our neighbors dropped us off some sweet corn this afternoon. Talk about a surprise and trying to find out how we can work it up really fast. Mom was the one who answered the door to him and like the green beans from last year he gave us quite a load of work. Work, we…

• The Reunion, 2025

  Seeing family is good. Sometimes we only see our other branches on this day alone though, sadly. We don’t always have everybody most years and some skip a year every once in a while. It all depends on our schedules I suppose. Or on how long it takes us to get to the Shelter house…

• 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…

  This evening before we take her home to mom’s a little girl got another chance to show off her adeptness peeling tomatoes for canning purposes. In such a short week she has mastered this portion of the process. Tonight we were able to get another batch of cucumbers and tomatoes inside to work them up.…

• The 2nd Edition: The Hands of My Fathers

  Ironically, I had about the same amount of time with Great-Grandpa Arla as I did Grandpa Leo. There was only about a month, give or take a few days up to a week, in between their deaths. It seems that I remember his death just about 10 days after my birthday which would be somewhere…
