WHEW!





WHEW…

I started this with the idea that I wanted my children and grandchildren to know something about my Father and Mother….boy did I get carried away!

The more I went through this process of writing, I thought of the future generations of our family that might want to know something of their history. With this little slice of our lives being told, I hope that each member of the family would accept the challenge of adding to this, your thoughts and stories.

It has been an interesting couple of weeks as I have written this….my mind has taken me back in time, bringing up wonderful feelings and emotions. Once in awhile it has been difficult and sad to consider things that were painful….but those times were part of life and over powered by the “GOOD” times of knowing and appreciating all that I have known and loved. It is amazing that our minds are able to recall with such detail what we were seeing and feeling as we skip along through our lives. It's comforting to understand how much our Father in Heaven has been a part of our lives and will be in the future.

I sure do appreciate Irene, Diane and Cathy’s help to get me going in this blogging thing.
From now on I hope to add little bits of information as they might come to mind but with no theme or order. I would like to tell all of you that I appreciate the words of support. What a GREAT buncha people in this family.

Dad, I'm still waiting for more info on your fathers side of the family. Cousins? Grandparents?
