Honestly, I think everyone was related to everyone! Several years ago, when my brother and I started doing the family history we just laughed when we showed mom how she was related to all these people she remembered. She had no idea how she was related to half of them! She remembers these 2 men coming over and hanging out with her dad but she had no idea until we told her that they were her uncles! There was a woman in the community that everyone called aunt. Mom didn't know that she really was her aunt! There was a lot of people in and out of grandma's house! lol <br />~margaretAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-90598069715596124902022-09-19T10:46:46.916-04:002022-09-19T10:46:46.916-04:00The pollinators sure do love the sedum, don’t they...The pollinators sure do love the sedum, don’t they!

...Wow, you are a busy bee! That is so great! : )<br /><br />I need to get up in my attic and get my fall decor out... I'm a slow-pokie this year! I was reading one of your snacks is toast. I was just thinking last night as we had toast and scrambled eggs for supper. Toast is a great snack, and I bet that is what most people ate during WWII etc.for snacks. Were there chips and all that back then? I was watching the Waltons several months ago and it was so sweet. The kids came home from school and their mother said..."There is some vegetable soup on the stove". It showed Mary Ellen and her sister walking around with cups of soup for their afternoon snack. Simple foods instead of processed junky things.<br /><br />I'm going to put the pedal to the metal this week unloading my sewing room...It's gonna be a mess before it gets better. But it will help clear my mind for Pete's sake! I can't think like that! lol<br /><br />I read Psalms 91 almost every single day. I love your prayer too. Amen. <br /><br />Have a sweet day! Thanking God for your sweet blog. : )Ameliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09093408888499365118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-28168889536389773422022-09-19T08:44:00.320-04:002022-09-19T08:44:00.320-04:00Thanks Frances for the infoThanks Frances for the infoCheryl Kimbleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06485771676254429681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-5322936773488143012022-09-19T07:35:18.366-04:002022-09-19T07:35:18.366-04:00You did have a rough week, Frances!

Some things are just always open here - which I don't really like. <br />People seem to think if you can't go shopping for a day that the world is coming to an end! It always amazes me. It is that way here when they just mention snow - people go crazy. No one is more than a few minutes from a store and roads are usually cleared in a day or 2.<br />Enjoy the comfort of your family.Cheryl Kimbleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06485771676254429681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-47401998796604053032022-09-19T07:23:39.813-04:002022-09-19T07:23:39.813-04:00Funny how some families work.

She had 2 before I was thought of! My mom was older - 43 when she got pregnant with me. Thought she was going through menopause! Surprise. G's mom was a little younger than my sister.

Thursday we cleared out and moved three compost bins as we are giving up half of our allotment plot and taking over Father in Laws. He is 88 with the energy of a 60 year old but can't do the heavy work or eat everything he grows. We too cleared out a lot of tomato plants, only thing left in our polytunnel now are peppers.<br />I have also cleared out lots of paperwork and cluttered a bit more. <br />We have a Bank Holiday in the UK today as it's the funeral of Queen Elizabeth the second. Our eldest Grandaughter said the supermarkets were she lives were as busy as Christmas yesterday, crazy as they are only closed for one day. We are going to watch the funeral service at our daughter's house, tissues at the ready, she is also cooking lunch for us all.<br />My Father in Law had twin uncles two years younger than him as he was the eldest in the family. He used to visit one in his care home. <br />Hope you have a good week.

I joke with him that we have a generation gap ;-) Laughter is good medicine and good for a happy marriage (42years and counting). I was 13 when my oldest nephew was born, lil sis was just 6 and our 2 oldest siblings were off to college already when she was born.

Anyway, I've requested The Awakening Land. <br /><br />Cheryl, my mom was born after her sister had a baby. So my mom was an aunt before she was born! LOL. While she was close to her older siblings my mom really grew up with her nieces and nephews as siblings. <br />My husband's grandparents (dad side) were 20 years younger than my grandparents (dad side) because his side got married young and my dad's side got married older. Weird how that works out.<br />My grandson and I saw a hummingbird last Monday. The only time this summer I saw one. It was so cool. It was hanging out around the flowering hostas. <br />~margaretAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
