Christmas Mail

I'm ashamed to mention it but I'm just now getting around to mom's Christmas mail.  I will be answering them by snail mail but thought that by posting their names some of mom's fans might recognize them and help them get connected to this blog.

Lloyd Deuel, Minneapolis, MN ( Mentions adding stories to a "Foreston File at the Milaca Historical and Museum"  That would be fun to research.

Blooms From the Past

Last week, long after the other flowers in the subdivision were asleep for the winter, a bunch of yellow snap dragons came up along side the house. These were evidently left from two years ago when mom had flowers there because we didn't plant anything there this summer and I believe the year before that ground had been covered up with slabs so I'm guessing this bloom from the past must have been from seed at least three years ago just saying goodbye to mom.

Great Photos of Mom's Progeny

In the process of sorting photos for mom's power point we had to finally stick to a rule that if mom wasn't in the photo it couldn't be used.  That was the only way to get them under 150 photos.

There were however, some very good photos of the grand kids and great grandkids that I thought merited their own album.  You can find them at: http://picasaweb.google.com/larrydevilbiss/GrandsAndGreats#

Journey Back in Time

In May of 2001 Cousin David Kerns  took mom and Aunt Francis across the Northern States on Interstate 10 to visit the places where they had accompanied their father Lloyd Peabody in church planting in the 1920, 30, and 40s.  After returning mom put these photos together and they were shared in her memorial service.
