Grandpa Harry is my Dad’s grandpa. My memories of him are kinda vague, since I think I was only about 8 when he died. (I’ll check on that when the aunts wake up, they get a little grumpy when I wake them up at 5 am, to ask dumb questions!!) Update: He died when IContinue reading “Harry Hawkins”

Grandpa & Grandma
Since I’ve lauded Granny Chaney, now it’s time to spotlight Grandpa, and Grandma Hawkins, Dad’s parents. I’m so blessed that I knew both sets of grandparents. I even knew some great grands!! That seems to be a rare thing, and I’m so enriched, to have known them. Grandpa was a phosphate miner. The mine wasContinue reading “Grandpa & Grandma”
Life Leanings
I’m thankful for my life verse. Jeremiah 33:3 King James Version 3 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.

Formal Family

Here’s Hoping
So, okay, this week has been a corker too. You probably expected that. We tried, unsuccessfully, to find a new place. The 2 cheaper ones we found, I wouldn’t make a ferret live there. And I heartily dispise ferrets!! So, we had to come to the sad conclusion that we are forced to stay here.Continue reading “Here’s Hoping”
