My wife said to me, “You need to BLOG. You write all these stories –

and events on Facebook, and then it just disappears into the Cloud!”

“You have such a memory on what – where – who and when –

you need to put it down where you can store and conserve it!” said Sherry!

So with the help of a friend- Belinda – we met at the Brambleton Library in Va.

Spending over an hour –

she got me started on my own site –

in WordPress!

That was over six years ago.

Today – here I am –

over 1500 blogs posted –

140 more are scheduled to go as of this writing.

Family History –

and our life together these past 43-plus years!

I actually have very little of my family history –

except what was told to me –

and I remember.

Very few pictures –

No letters-

Just lots of memories –

and some pictures people have found and sent to me.

And – I am just about the only one left in my family I grew up with-

One niece who lives in the same house she grew up in

and a great-niece who lives in the house I grew up in.

This home has now been in my family for over 80 years!

I have another great-niece in Portville, N.Y. –

and My two sons –

still live in the area I grew up in.

Two grandsons from my youngest son –

have moved out of the area.

Blogging into the new year –

I try not to do politics-

rather focussing on Good Vibes- Humor – Laughs and Family – Friends –

Places – Events – Music- Neighbors – Beach and Where we live in the South.

I have over 650 subscribers –

I only know a half dozen of them.

The rest are from all over the World.

that is unbelievable –

as I never thought that would happen.

I post my blogs after midnight –

And I can see where in the World –

people are seeing my blogs.

Each time I open my site and look at the STATS –

EIGHT to TEN COUNTRIES across the World have already read my blogs!

That astounds me.

Thank you to my wife Sherry –

who inspired me to write my thoughts down.

To preserve it for future generations –

in our families to come.
