Four hundred years since the first Thanksgiving

 I just think it's amazing and wonderful that it's been 400 years since the pilgrims gave thanks and celebrated with the natives on the American continent as newcomers to a new land.

'57 Chevy

 When you see a gorgeous, clean, fawn color '57 Chevy on our way to Clayton concert you just have to get your new friend Leslie to take a picture. We saw the USA in our '55 Chevrolet in 1960 and I do love this '57 too.

Mother died 60 years ago today

 How blessed I am for my childhood with Mother. She died when I was 15. She had been baptized 10 months before on March 25. I think about her every day.

Mother's 100th Birthday Anniversary is Today

Because of my mother I took the journey of a lifetime in one summer, visiting the 48 states. Today Mother would have been 100. Happy Birthday Mother. The family now numbers 114.
