Happy Summer Solstice! Here are some happy things from this first day of summer:
- The morning weather was absolutely perfect. There was a breeze and the temperature was delightful. Before I started mowing I picked some of the orange hawkweed, yellow (or maybe meadow?) hawkweed, and a purple Vetch. The hawkweeds were mowed down, their offense being in the yard. Honestly, if they were considered a native flower instead of European, I probably would have mowed around them.
- Keziah and I try to spend two hours together on Mondays and now Bel and I try on Fridays. Today Bel and I decided to work at cleaning out the porch. It is a general catch-all place. There are some boxes of mine that are being stored there. Unfortunately, more than I thought. However, two of those boxes are now reduced in size. In hindsight, I might be able to combine them down to one box. Steps in downsizing were made, yay!
- There was an event happening at Keziah’s store tonight. I ended up leaving later than I wanted and missed some of the happenings. There were some vendors there with some fun items for sale. I'm trying to downsize though, and made no purchases.
Here are some pictures of things I found today:
 |
| This pamphlet is from 1964! |
 |
| These two pictures look like my grandfather, my mom's father, but I'm not sure. |
 |
| This one has "B.S." on the back. |
 |
| ? |
 |
| Possibly my grandfather again. The image is small enough and at an odd angle, I can't be sure. |
 |
| The name on the back of this picture doesn't seem to fit with the 1955 date on the frame. |
 |
| This picture says, "1943 Rocks Village," on the back. |
Originally I thought these pictures all had to do with my grandfather. They don't. This all makes me want to find more of the genealogy information that my mom had and get it saved and backed up on a computer and multiple hard drives. I'm tired enough that I'm second guessing what my grandfather looked like! 😵💫😴
EDIT: I don't know why my great uncle, born in 1907??? Has his youthful looking picture in a frame dated 1955. But that is him and B.S. I've now found genealogy online and may not sleep...

Thank you for being here and being part of my daily happy things. Stay safe!
That is most definitely your grandfather as I remember him in those 2 pictures. Don't recognize any of the others. I wonder if your mother might be in the Rock's Village picture as I would say that is taken in front of the Rock's Village school house and the year would be right. I can't get the picture big enough to get a good look. Fascinating photos. I have some geneololgy if you are interested.
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm interested in genealogy. However, not yet. I've got to get rid of more stuff so I can make room and organize it. Thank you!
