Almost a Year

Posted on by Kathleen

Wow guys! This Sunday will be my 1 year anniversary of doing this blog. I really am proud of myself for sticking with it and having fun! To be quite honest with you, those first month blogs are still my favorite ones. I’m trying to find my writing niche and I think those were closer to it then I ever thought they were. Reminiscing about the Beginning is a particular favorite of mine. Back when I was still posting about my Mom’s side of the family! ha. I also can’t forget From Grandma’s Kitchen and the story about the infamous Fudge recipe. To this day when Mom starts talking about her mother’s awesome roll recipe, I can’t help but wonder if she’s tried Pillsbury. Then there was the one that started my favorite feature, my very first Google Earth Adventure! In fact, I need to do another one, just as soon as I figure out where I’m “going”.

I’ll leave you with this random picture. I have no idea who she is, but if you have any clue. Shoot me an email: leeny.moore [@] gmail.com (Remove the brackets and spaces!)

Fearless Females: A Journal

Posted on by Kathleen

March 8 — Did one of your female ancestors leave a diary, journal, or collection of letters? Share an entry or excerpt.

Oh boy did my great-grandmother, Llewellyn leave behind all of the above. I am currently in the process of transcribing Llewellyn’s journal here on the blog. For everyday of the journal, there is an entry here. (There was one just this morning!) You can find all of them by using the tag or category section, or the list I’m posting below for easier reading! I might even make a better index for these entries as they pile up.

Fearless Females: Heirlooms

Posted on by Kathleen

March 6 — Describe an heirloom you may have inherited from a female ancestor (wedding ring or other jewelry, china, clothing, etc.) If you don’t have any, then write about a specific object you remember from your mother or grandmother, or aunt (a scarf, a hat, cooking utensil, furniture, etc.)

I took a few days off, and since I don’t have a recipe to share for March 7th, I decided to use the March 6th prompt. The heirloom that comes to my mind is one I’ve talked about before.
