My mom is now doing the same and I asked her to get dad to help. I guess my blog is my legacy. I did a research paper in college about the difference between men and women authors in the American West. While the men wrote about heros galloping to save us from evil men, women wrote about details of daily life and struggles.

Sometimes I worry that our world will lose some piece of important knowledge, and it will be gone when we most need it.

My maternal Grand Father lived awhile longer. "They said" that my little self, was the only thing, that kept him alive, after losing his wife. :-)<br /><br />But I was still too young, to remember much of anything, of my time with him. -sigh- I do have a memory (or at least, I think I do----We now know, that memory is not reliable.) When he died, thinking that now, he would not be able to tell me about the faeries, as he had said, he would. A rather selfish thought, actually.... But I was young. <br /><br />Those who were lucky enough to learn, from generations back, should be so grateful. As you are...<br /><br />✨🌻✨ wisps of wordshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12995057494013633705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5885548773613247997.post-77586050118113900722019-09-17T16:51:01.154-07:002019-09-17T16:51:01.154-07:00That is so special Stephanie.

She was so generous and kind. She grew raspberries, weaved on a loom that her husband had made for her, cooked, baked, and wrote letters. Her house was always neat and clean. I learned so much from her.
