TODAY is my dear friend Bear (Barry Shirey)’s birthday! We’ve known each other since in the 80’s and I’m so glad to call him a friend. So happy birthday, Bear; I hope your day was wonderful! Wishing you years of blessings and health and love!!!
Tonight is the full moon, so I thought I’d post a photo. The interesting thing is that I took one with the flash on, and one with it off! And the stream from the jet was not visible when I looked at the sky. Also note the advancement of the jet! And what is that bluish-green spot in the clouds right above the tree line? UFO? Hmmm. Someone’s WATCHING us. ???
It took me all day to get through my chores list. I changed the flags from St. Patrick’s Day to Easter, switched my napkins to spring, cleaned the house and did laundry, and also dressed Miss Dottie in her spring outfit. She looks happy with her bouquet of daisies!
When I finally took a break and went for the mail, I found a large envelope from Dottie and Steve (my step-sister). I was so excited when I opened it up! She had taken all the information that Mom and John put together from records they already had and some research they did, as well as some sleuthing on her own, and put together the Graves Genealogy. It starts back in the 1100’s, and moves to present day. I was especially interested once I hit the section about Mary Cole (Crouch) and her family, and from there down to Charlie, who built the house John and Mom lived in. A huge thank you for everyone who invested time and effort, and for including our little branch of the family on the tree!
March 18 – Do you have any other memories of St. Patrick’s Day as a youth? “Our one room school had poems for us to read. We sang Irish songs.” It’s so cool to celebrate our heritage! And to help others celebrate theirs, as well.
Yesterday’s vacation destination was Gros Morne, Canada, and the picture posted was Ten Mile Pond. I’ve never even heard of it, but the views are stunning! Here is more information:
