Gass cemetery

Yesterday, I went to Gass and Alpena to look at the graves.  It was work day at Gass.  They were filling in low places in front of our Gaddy/Thomas graves.  At Alpena, George's military foot stone has been placed on his grave.  I was been beginning to wonder if they were going to send it at all.

The kids and Greg went to Silver Money city yesterday.  Both kids had a friend go along.  They all had a great time.

It is finally spring here.  I am so glad.  

I have been trying to get back into walking.  I try to walk at least 30 minutes most days.  Sometimes I just walk to Dan ' s a couple of times.  It does not get dark till after 8 now so that helps with time to work in walking time. Walking time interferes with napping time.

Today is church day.

Gaddy house on Wallis Street

I think this is it.  Maybe 507 Wallis.


I remember for SURE it had a flat roof that was just tarred and kept leaking, having to be patched over and over.  And I remember Maroon Trim.







Here is a view showing the date it was taken.  Says Jun 2014, so it may be gone now, but I am thinking something other than a lawn mower took it down if it is gone.

Pieced Together

Grandma snipped, stitched, and pressed little bits of cloth.
Purple flowers, checks and plaids, red and yellow dots.
Mamma sewed our dresses and passed Grandma the scraps.
Together, they pieced together, memories of our past.
These little bits of cloth are what they left for us,
To piece us together with memories in the dust.

This is the little bird house I bought a Lovejoy'sFleemarket when I bought my computer hutch.  It was plain but helen made me paint it.  I love jut putting a cup of seeds in it and bringing lots of birds right to my door.
