Never in a million years have there been more then 4 people in a FAMILY picture of where I came from, ok there was one with 1 person extra, another time an extra 2, but I had to travel to Poland to get those pictures except the original 4 had become only 2 and so again 4 people….BUT THIS is MY family and another 6 were missing….home with covid… It all happened through Ancestry to bring our long lost family together. Nine exhilerating days together has forever transformed my life for sure. And I am so in love with New York. I felt I had come home, to my dad’s home, to the stockade in Schenectady where my grandparents were married, to where my dad and his sister played. I can only think about more new future trips to discover every inch of Schenectady, to spend time with Shirley and Chuck and Sue and all their children and grandchildren.
Never in my life did I think my life would change as it has. It’s a new chapter around every corner. God has saved the best for the last. I never have felt like I deserved such blessings because I can be so bad, then have to repent and change my ways. Sometimes I feel like I am the worst child of God and yet He is good to me. It’s so easy to be human then it is to be godly. The struggle is real, yet I am blessed. And now God has given me a wonderful blood family who also lacked with hardly any people in their family pictures….well except for Chuck, who came from HUGE family pictures
I can never plan another major trip in the spring again. I laid aside my yard duties of prepping and planting , to start a month late. I am convinced that I should have all flower plots weeded and planted and mulched by the middle of July…You’ve heard that old song…”the old gray mare, she ain’t what she used to be…”. Yep, it takes me twice as long to do half as much!
So I have been out garage saling only twice this season as my flower plots take all my time. Hub side kick sez…”WE need to go” after I had just come back from the 2nd one and he saw I had not gotten anything, he forces me to go and HE buys a table with 4 chairs! Good grief! He has become me…
