Four Generations…
Image
Picture of 4 generations…Pop, my Dad, me, and RonnAnn. All of us the first born in each family. My dad was first generation born in US. Pop came from Greece when he was 17. It’s good to remember our heritage.
Mickey Rooney and my father, John
Image
My father carried around this picture during the war. He met Mickey overseas and someone took their picture. My dad has been gone for 15 years, but today Mickey joined him in heaven. I know they’ll have a lot to talk about. Thanks to all the WWII veterans. There aren’t many of them left on this Earth. God Bless.
Family History
Image
This old photo features my Greek grandfather on left and his brother Meechus on right. My grandmother is holding Uncle Don and my father John is sitting at Pop’s knee. Aunt Helen is standing in the back and Aunt Carrie must be sitting on a stool at Granny’s knees. My “Pop” came to America when he was just 17 with his brother. All in the photo are now gone, but they will never be forgotten.
Another Beautiful Day in Florida!
Image
This photo was taken at SummerBay Resort properties in Orlando, Florida. It is a beautiful place as you can see. I love the covered bridge, the reflection, and the blue sky. No wonder so many people retire to Florida. The weather is mostly wonderful except for a little wild weather once in awhile. It’s worth it!
Pardee Hall-1966
Image
This is a photo of the dorm I lived in for three years while at Milligan College in the ’60’s. Just finished my short novella about my experiences in college. It’s called MILLLIGAN MAYHEM. I hope to publish it soon. Will let you know. Had a wonderful time in college…the best years of my life…so many good friends and teachers…and I actually learned a lot, too.
Purple
Image
This is a table set by my mother. She loved purple and had quite a collection of purple glass. These dishes are plastic! They were so beautiful. Mom loved having company and cooking for them. I’m glad I took this photo of one of her famous table settings. I can taste the Greek salad now!
The Day I Met My 40 Year Old Son
Image
This is a photo of me and my son, Joey. I had not seen him for 40 years and finally met him. We found each other using the computer. My daughter and I went to meet him together. I had placed him in adoption when he was born. That was when abortion was NOT legal. I went off for 6 months and lived in the hills of NC until he was born. This was a milestone in my life that now has me advocating to save the lives of unborn babies.
Easter Dress
Image
Remember when everyone HAD to have a new outfit for Easter? We always had new dresses, shoes, socks, gloves, and even hats when I got older. Two years ago I decided to revamp the new Easter dress tradition by buying new dresses for my little girls. Here’s Lexie in her little yellow sundress, all ready for Easter!
We Call Him Puddles
Image
This is photo of my precious Puddles. He was a cute little guy with a bad temper. He was accidentally dropped when he was a pup, but I think it caused a scar on his brain, and it made him contrary. I love him, however, and wrote a book about him. You can ask for it on demand at any bookstore. The title is the title of this blog. The book is a lap book designed for children under 5. It tells a story of a puppy learning how to go to the bathroom in the proper place. Has lots of color, photos, drawings, and sounds you can make as you read it…oops! oops! oops! Enjoy!
