Well here goes nothing as they say… whoever “they” are
right?
I am not sure where this blog will
take me or my followers but I’d like to think it will follow not only my
travels through my family history hunt, but my memories for my grandchildren as
well. I had the pleasure of knowing one
of the most wonderful men God had blessed the earth with, my Uncle Jack. His desire to track down and search for our
family’s history and the time he took to share it with me over the years did
not go unnoticed. Unfortunately, we
never realize what we have until it’s gone and God called him home last year
before I could spend enough time with him.
We always think we’ll have more time, don’t we?
To say that Uncle Jack inspired me would be putting it mildly. He was the first to be educated in his family and always down played his degree whenever we spoke of it. I don't think he truly ever understood until he was gone maybe just how important his education had been to ME. He was and is the reason I never gave up on attending college, so here I am - at my age - still going and I WILL FINISH! Someday - we will pick up these stories again Uncle Jack... til then, this one's for you!

| Emma and her FIRST Easter Bunny Visit 2012 She was unimpressed to say the least. |
Today I
had the pleasure of going with my oldest daughter Erin, our granddaughter Emma,
my mother and my husband to Emma’s first Easter Bunny visit. Emma was not impressed with the Easter Bunny –
she wasn’t frightened, she could just have cared less. But she LOVED watching all the people. We spent the rest of the morning with them,
watching her play and just enjoying her.
Those moments are the ones to cherish and be shared. As we were playing with her, I received an email
on my ever present blackberry from my church prayer chain. The father of a pastor who has been speaking
for us occasionally as we search for a new one had passed away. Again, time is fleeting – take these precious
moments with those you love, don’t waste your time on hate and negative
feelings because some day may God’s grace call you home.
