<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> Hot, hot day yesterday in my little corner. <br />I had the two youngest grandlittles here. <br />The Dumplin', who is three and a half, just loves electric fans. <br />He has a fan collection of about 30 fans of all shapes and sizes. <br />He knows how to take them apart, clean them <br />and put them back together.<br />There are actually you tube videos about littler boys with <br />fan collections. Who knew?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I had this black "Intertek" fan <br />(he knows the all brand names) <br />on the porch with us to keep the air moving <br />while we were outside on such a hot day. <br />It did have some fuzz on the blades as it has <br />been running alot since I cleaned it in the spring.<br />That child just wouldn't be happy until <br />I let him take the thing apart and clean it. <br />I thought just a dust brush might satisfy him <br />but was told that's not the way to do it. <br />So he did it his way.<br />He won!</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I asked Lou for a chalkboard for the kitchen and <br />he came up with this lovely piece which is <br />a chalkboard with a shelf and five hooks. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />It's always been like that. <br />I ask for something simple like, <br />"Can we paint this wall?" <br />and he says, "how about if we knock down <br />that wall and make two rooms into one?"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I should have known he couldn't just make <br />a plain chalkboard with a frame.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I could use a a morning on the beach. How about you? Mondays are always considered rough but when you go into the kitchen and discover you've had a visitor on your countertop who has left you little presents, it's like oh crap (actually crap). So a job I didn't plan on, taking everything off the countertops and disinfecting and putting out traps. I'd rather be back at the beach. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">Yesterday was my Grandmother Elsie's 107th birthday. <br />She was born in Baltimore, Maryland <br />on</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">January 7, 1910.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been working on my family's history, <br />gathering facts, scanning photographs <br />and need to start writing out family stories. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Married in 1928 to John, the love of her life, <br />they had 3 daughters. <br />My mother Betty was born in December of 1928.<br /> Second daughter Joan arrived in July of 1939 <br />and Donna was born in April of 1949. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My parents were already married <br />when Donna was born so Donna and I <br />were raised more like sisters than aunt and niece. <br />She spent many weekends at my parents home <br />and I was at my grandparents house often. <br />Because of this, I had a unique relationship <br />with my maternal grandparents.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Mom Mom made my wedding dress <br />of white cotton dotted swiss, very hippie 1970's. <br />After my daughters were born, <br />and I was a stay at home Mom,<br /> she called me almost everyday.<br />Blessed that my girls actually knew their <br />Great Grandmother.<br /><br />Because my Grandmother, I knew what <br />kind of grandmother I wanted to be.<br /><br />Elsie and John had<br />3 children<br />9 grandchildren<br />12 great grandchildren<br />and 4 great great grandchildren. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br />I thought first day of a new year...<br />great time to start blogging again. <br />Life around here got so crazy that something <br />had to go and it was posting on this blog. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">So only a couple of days late...here I am. I started with a terrible cold on New Year's Eve and am still coughing, sneezing and nursing a sore throat.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I spent today in my jammies, in front of the fire, <br />watching old movies and drinking hot tea.</span>.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Lou, seems to be one day behind me <br />with the same thing...<br />He slept in a bit this morning but needed to <br />wrap some sign orders today <br />and took them to the Post Office.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">So where did we pick up this stinkin' bug?<br />Pick a child, any child.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: large;">I sometimes worry that with every generation,</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: center;">
perhaps there is less and less history being taught. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That it is considered corny to be patriotic. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That what has gone before, that has given </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
each generation, the freedoms they have <br />today is forgotten. </div>
</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">That when our National Anthem is played,<br /> it will never bring tears to their eyes <br />because the history of this country <br />sometimes is just not known or remembered. <br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Have I been so blinded by the news, <br />that all I see is people believing that <br />America is a horrible place to live, <br />but not knowing or acknowledging <br />the sacrifices of those who came before?<br /></span></div>
