Two sides of a celebration
In my newsletter, I briefly stated the importance of the 4th of July.
Yes, independence day but also my mom’s birthday. Mom loved having her birthday on the 4th because of all the fireworks and parades. One of my brothers would decorate his golf cart, and mom and other family members would join her, and I was the camera lady. The fourth is not the same, but I am glad she is experiencing the greatest love with our Lord.
Road Trip
Summertime is here and this Texas girl with her husband and Remi, our dog, took off to visit family members and friends. Remi had her first long road trip. We covered Arkansas, Mississippi, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, Maryland, DC, and of course, Texas. Remi loved it. Remember to buckle up your pets.
Family
I mentioned one of my hobbies is genealogy. I enjoy being a member of Ancestry.com and have been a member from the beginning. I did the DNA and have connected with cousins I did not know I had, and we have privately shared pictures. One cousin I was able to meet on this road trip. When we met in person for the first time at a restaurant, we had to laugh because we both were wearing a red shirts with white stripes. We had a great time, and you would have thought we knew each other our whole life; we hated to part as we had so much to share. I encourage everyone to check out their family history. There is nothing like family!
