THE FIRST POST

                       Yes this is the first post for the year , for that matter in a while . I have been rather neglectful for the past few months . Although a lot of thing have happened in my life during that time . Some have been major changes and going to effect some changes this year .
                       Last year I said I was going to work on some projects . The thing like many things I started with good intentions , I mean I did put in some effort on them . I just did not follow through on them . Its kind of hard when you have a major distraction to pull you away from the path . I don't want to make excuses , because there are no real excuses to keep you away from the goal . If it was a true goal , nothing should keep you away .
                    I am not making any new year resolutions , 99.9 % of them never happen . Yea , we start on them but eventually we forget about them .
                 I started this blog over a year ago , but I at times just don't think about it . In the beginning I was full of ideas , the the ideas just seem to slow down . I was not being realistic about it . This year I am going to try to post at least once a week . Maybe on Sunday .
              Last year I had it in my head that I was going to write a book . I had the idea for what it would be about , but no idea how to get it started . I did a lot of online searching on the basis of the story , but lack of inspiration and some imagination to get going . I still thick its good idea . I guess I will kind of nibble away at it ,till it just happens .
            This year I also have other issues , that needs to be handled and gotten out the way . I am not going into them here , because they are personal . But maybe once they are out of the way every thing else will fall into place  .
           There I go , I now have my resolution for the year . Something simple to work on and not so concrete or black and white . My goal for the year is just get it together .
   YEP THAT'S IT JUST GET IT TOGETHER !!!

PERSPECTIVE GAINED

                             You , know its amazing that on some things life you can have some perspective on what is expected , needed to be done ,etc. On others you can have no clue what so ever . You just go through motions or just do not make any attempt at all . You know , just ignore it and think it will solve it self . You can have all these ideas , hopes and dreams . But nothing good can come out of them with some perspective of how or when they can be , or even relevant . You know how there is something big in your mind that you want to do and you have know idea or clue of how to get it started . Yes you can have all these things going on in your head , but they will never mean a thing till you get a grip .
                            Yea , when talk about them , people look at you and go Right ! All these ideas and thoughts and you never get a start on them . Just run your mouth . Well recently I have got an handle on an idea in my head . I finally took some steps on an Idea in my head . I mentioned a few times . Well I printed up a format for this project , even developed a task time line with self imposed dead lines . Okay , I know what saying , he will never follow through . Well I figure that by writing about this in my blog not only am i answering to myself , I have the net to answer to . See once its out there on the net , every one knows I have this project . So I feel that the net will be harder on me and hold me to task at hand .
                            Also , I have last week informed my family of my idea , so know I will hear " How that thing coming along "  I had also asked to borrow some books from dads collection to aid in the research also  ' I guess what I am saying ere is , there nothing like a trip home with family to bring back some sense of perspective on life . I guess for many years I have been just out there , you just going through the motions of living with really living . Now I have some sense of urgency to complete some things . I had started one and now to go on to the rest . Well actually I have started more than one . This blog is part of that bigger picture .                         Part of what helped is the long train ride there and back . While on the trip I met and talk to a few people . The biggest thing was the people watching . You begin to notice them going about like ants in a ant farm . They go about their business in their life . Not that they are oblivious  or don't care about whats going on in our country or the world around them . We all know this affects them but life does not stand still because our world leaders can't agree on any thing . Our government can't agree on how to manage a checkbook , but reality we have to go on making our money . So as we can manage our money and pay the taxes so that they can waste in any manner they chose . And force on us things we do not want or need . Whoa , I did it again I took a left turn instead of going straight ahead .
                        I was writing about how my perspective came back around . Just seeing all those people going about their travel , to do what ever . Just shows you that no matter what it is , life still goes on . The wheel of time just keeps rolling . You need to get on the wagon before it passes you by . Basically  , have an idea , take action on it no matter how small a step . The next step you take may be bigger and hopefully it will snowball from there . And before you know it you have accomplished something . At least that's how I hope it works , I will just nibble away at it ,till take a life of its own , baby steps till I am running with it .
                      Yes , this post is more of a pep talk to myself . If someone reads it and takes it to heart ,that's
an added bonus .

GREAT AMERICAN NOVEL : REVISTED

                Back when I first started writing this blog , I wrote that someone needs to come up with a great American novel that could dare to sit on the same shelf with them . A person that read that blog suggested  that may be the one that has it him . Will over the past year that idea has been kicking around in my head .
                       
                       Well I have some idea just floating around in my head . Over the year I did some research on the net . Found a few sites with some information on the time period , what I found will be helpful . Last week I borrowed a set of books from my dads collection . I started reading them I found that this set had the things I was looking for . I have been only reading them for a day , but my idea clicked . Then came to mind how and where do I start . While on the net , I found a few sites that may be able to point in the right direction .Such is tech these days . But really it old and new tech that has got my head to working . What read yesterday and the site I found to give me a place to start from . 
       
                          As I walk the building where I work , as I was doing my job , my mind just wondered with ideas and thoughts of the possibilities of where the story could lead me . I have not been this excited over a project since I started this blog . Which when I started this century , when bought my first computer . Now I also have a tablet and have them both with links to each other so that no matter where I am at . I can still do some work on my idea .The trick is to keep the vibe going , so that I may see this to the end .

                           Do I have that story in me , let alone the imagination to pull this off . Its said that every one has that one good story in them . Right I am not seeing it , but I have only just begun , Right now I have only an idea . I just have to add one piece at time until it develops into that story . I will have to let the idea lead me to where it wants to go . 

                          I just had to get this out there . I figure by putting this in my blog I no longer will be just responsible to my self .This makes me accountable to my blog and all whom reads this post , and all the other posts I have made . Once I push the publish bar , Its no longer an idea , it will take a life of its own . 

                            To all those who take take the time to read my ramblings , I thank you . Every time some one whom gives me a hit on my blog , that will give me encouragement to continue . Its telling me I have something relevant to say and the idea may become a book . Once it becomes the book , its up to the book ,where it goes . It will take a life of its own , no matter how long it lives .Well see you at the keyboard or with a nose in a book . Oh yes ; check the post THE GREAT AMERICAN NOVEL .

I DID IT THIS TIME , WENT OFF ON A TANGENT AGAIN

                      Its been almost a week since my last post which I have no good excuse , and have over the past few months I have not given this the attention I should . This has been an eventful and a week full of thought about family . I had decided to take the train home which was a 36 hour adventure . The the usual train delays , 4 and 5 hour lay overs there and back . Don't forget the people that you meet along the way ,and this the perfect way to people watch . Not to mention the time you spend thinking about everything ,and man there was plenty of thinking being done this trip .
                     The purpose of this trip was to honor my Dad and lay him to rest with his wife , my mother . The apprehension on my part is I had not been home since mom passed and over time I let it get ahead of me and just lost touch with every one . Again this was all my doing . I was not sure of the reception I would receive when got there . This was what I was thinking of on the way up , but the worry was for nothing . My brothers and sister welcomed me . All fears were out at ease in the first moments after seeing my Uncle John . Because this I realize I really should make an extra effort in keeping lines open . Which is now made easier with e-mail addresses exchanged and all that .
                  Yes , I do regret not being in touch all this time . That is neither here nor there now . The lines have been opened , now must remain that way . I also should double the effort to improve thing with my only child . Also in the past few weeks my 57th birthday came up and among other things . It kind of makes you think of your own mortality . It makes think about your relationships with the people in your life . With that long ride on the train , this was the subject that was on my mind ,most of the time .
            You think of the dreams of what you thought your life should been like according them and the reality of what is now . You soon realize the large difference between them . Another thing you think of the projects that you never finished or even started . The thing to to do now is come up with plan of action to move forward , to see them come to life .
             Another thing I have noticed in the first day back home is that the relationship with my other half seems to have improved some . All in all life is looking up right now .
               During the ride there I meet with people whose life was no different than mine . Their concerns were about the same . Their thoughts were all on what they need to do to make this life work and the mess that our government is and how its affecting there lives . I found its pretty much the same around the country . Although the reasons they were traveling were as varied as the people who were on the train . All had their own concerns and thoughts of how to get there , but the results they were looking for are the same . Making the best of their lives ,and how to make work .
                The road people travel on in their lives is as different as the people . The route the take depends on the individuals , their background and where their mind is at . Oh yes , we do make a lot of wrong turns along the way . There is no one road map for all of us to follow , if there was life would be real easy . The fact of the matter is its not and there is so many road block placed in front us . its the choices that we make the make it so hard . And once that choice is made , we can not back to intersection and change it . We have  to get back on the right from where we at . It is never easy to get back on track and to get where you need to be . You just have to looking ahead and keep an eye out for road signs and hope you make the right turn you need .
                All these thoughts came to me while traveling the rails this week . Some of the came from my own thoughts ,others came while observing people as I went across our great country . As I talked to people , listened and watched them . I found that most people have much the same concerns as I have . Although there were those that believe in the legend and propaganda . They those that say it is so because they said so . The never state facts just ideas and opinions . Any thing they say they will not question it , just believe it is so . This goes just as well for politics as it does for religion .
                When you take a long road trip you plenty of time to ponder what you have heard and thought about . As usual when you travel for the reason I did you think about all these things . You think about ,If you are living a life worth living . I know my Dad has , with all the places he has been and all the things he had done in his life . Married to the same woman his whole life . He helped raise us four kids ,if I may say so we turned out alright . We were not perfect , we did screw up , but we came out alright . My parents did a good job with us , without the help of all parenting experts . When we were growing up there was no Dr. Phil , Oprah or any of these so called experts on TV. The did not need a book to tell them what to do when we were wrong .Plain and simple going to bed without dinner did fine with me ,except there was the occasional butt whopping . At times I still feel the whoppings but this all made me a better person I hope .
                   You hear all these thoughts and ideas or lack there of , I soon realize for the privilege to think and believe this way , my old man give the best part of his life so we can do so . BUT for our do nothing government to do absolutely nothing be it local, state or federal he do not do his duty to God and Country to make no progress . For this He did give up most of adult life .The people in office need to remember there group of people whom gave of their life so you can sit up there and play chicken with our tax money and our country's legitimacy , your sadly mistaken . So get of your duffs and lets make this thing call democracy working . Show rest of the world that we can make our system work , continue the experiment our founding fathers started . Well I went of on a tangent this time .

A LONG TRAIN RIDE

                        Today I find my self taking a long train home to honor my fathers life . I left Charlotte in the early hours of the mourning . I m finding that since I came to realize that I was heading home for the first time in a long time I have not slept much since yesterday mourning . Could not sleep at all on the way to Washington DC where I connect to Chicago to make the final leg home . I not seen or spoke to members of my family in ten years . I do not know the reason why , I think it my I will call tomorrows but tomorrow never came . Time just moves to fast .
                      I am uncertain of how I will be received . None the less I am going home to honor the man whom helped make the man I am today . This I know , I am not any where near I expected to be this time of my life . Yes ,I have made some poor choices , that I have to live with . One choice I made is to stick to the side of my lady no matter what kind of drama I went through . Man , there have been times that I did not think I would make it to the other side . Some times I wonder how I hung on to my sanity .
                     As I have been riding the rails home , my mind would often drift to thinking about my life with my dad and the rest of the family . All in all , I would have to admit that times were good .It was much simpler then . At that time the remote control for the TV was one of us kids . We would have to turn the dial and adjust the rabbit ears . Of course the young today would not know anything about that . I would think of the times I would walk through the neighbor's corn field and woods with my dog and eight track just jamming to who ever was on at the time . Mom or Dad would step out on the back step and yell . When that occurred you best come a running . Usually that meant dinner time , I am not one to miss dinner , you can bet your life I was running . I loved to eat ,and eat I did . Mom said I had a hollow leg , she could never understand where put all the food . It was a good thing that we had a garden , all of us had to spend some time in hard labor in it . In that garden we grew every thing ,potatoes ,tomatoes ,corn , strawberries and anything else that we could eat .
                      Every fall was busy with mom canning everything she could , yes we had to help with that to . But with all that hard work we ate good . Oh yes do not forget dads homemade horseradish . That stuff would send flames out your nose . It cleared the sinus's for sure . These have been some of my thoughts on my way home to Union City Mi. while sitting here in Washington DC . I am sure there will be more to add when I get to Chicago for my next lay over . I should be in Battle Creek Mi by 8 pm tomorrow .

ITS COUNTY FAIR TIME

                      This is the time of year ,when I was growing up in Michigan we would start thinking about getting ready for the fair . All year through 4-H we would go to our meetings , and work on our projects all for this month . We would sit down at the dinning room table and go over the entry forms and decide what areas we would enter in , some were predetermined by what we already worked on , others depended on what we could come up with . There were the cooking , gardening and other things that depended on what we were into at the time .
                      This was the one thing we would look forward to all year . We would spend very little time on the midway , all our time was spent at the exhibition barns . All the animals , crafts , baked goods , and all the shows were in this area . We would do our public speaking , show our animals and anything else before the judges . It would take all week for them to go through all the barns .
                     The other things that kept us busy were the stage shows , tractor pulls and demolition derby's . I have not been to a tractor pull or a demolition derby in so many years ,it don’t make sense . I think my mom had just as much fun with the fair as we did .  She would sit down and go through the books and application with us to find things we could enter . One year my brother raised hogs for the fair . I don’t remember how well he did with them ,but I do remember the many cold winter mourning’s we had to go out and chase the hogs back into there pen . It mighty good I had my dog Marmaduke  , she was good at herding them back in the pens . In most cases she would already have them rounded up and where they belong . She would be standing guard at the hole in the fence making sure they would not come back out when we would finally get there . One thing she would not go into the pens with the hogs , she knew where she belonged and where they did .
                      Some how during the fair We got our chores done and squeezed in two practices a day for football . Yes during my youth we were busy ,4-H ,Scouts ,Order of the Arrow , sports ,school and camping trips . The camping trips , the weather did not matter , it could be snowing , a rain storm or what ever . It was the ones where the weather was far from perfect , that we enjoyed the most . Of course we were cold and wet but we muddled through . Oh there I go again going off in a tangent as I some times do .
                    Back to the subject at hand , the county fair . I have not been to one in so many years ; I do not know if they are still the same . Where I live now is not a agricultural area . The county area do not have many farms , it mostly sub-divisions and city . So the county fair here probably just the usual carnival rides and games . Do not forget the food stands with the average carnival fare . One of these day I will try to make back to the county fair I remember . Right now all I have of them is the memories of running around them with my friends and family . I guess that will have to do for now . We just have cherish the time that we had . When were young we did not think of that all that would come to pass and that one day we would sit back an remember .

DEAR DAD

                    Today's post , that am doing right now I have no idea where it my lead me , but this I do know I will write this as if I am talking to my father whom passed away recently . Let me start this off with this statement , I have idea if there is Internet access in the after life . I have stated this in a couple of letters to Mom earlier . I gonna go on the believe that it is available in the after life .
Robert Dale Rome U.S.N. retired February 1930 - July 2013
                     Well Dad , I know I have not been the best son I could have been , but this I know I would not have made it this far in life with out your example . Yes I know there were times that the navy came first , but that was your job . When came time for family your were always there . When we were young , I remember playing on the abutment's at Valley Forge when we lived in Pennsylvania .
                  The time you had to come home from duty to look for us . Mom had told us to stay close to the house because dinner was almost ready . Us boy’s didn’t listen though , we went fishing for eel , with the neighbor . We were gone till dark . We did get in trouble for that one , sometimes I think I still feel the sting from that paddle of yours right now . The main thing is you were there looking for us . You were there for the family .
                     What I always thought is that you would always be there . I thought you were invincible . You had those big arms and that tattoo of the eagle carrying the American flag and arrows .  The one gold tooth , at times when I see a John Wayne flick ,I hear you talking . You often told us growing up if you fell froggy leap . None us took you up on it , We knew in our hearts what the outcome would be . I myself did not like the thought of a beating like I never knew before . I can definitely say , you were always a fair man .I learnt a lot from just watching you .
                    I remember all of us going out to the side yard , in the fall and getting a game of touch football . This where you tried to teach me the basics . I never really got any good at it though , as my High School career in football can attest to that . The one thing that has carried on is that I am still a fan of the Michigan Wolverines . You and Mom made it point to watch or listen to the games on Saturday afternoons . The excitement in the house during those games , were something else . I find my self getting that excited during the games now still .
               I have tried to stand on my own two feet my whole life , but you and mom were always there to pick me up when necessary . I know you have done more than a few times . In the past ten years I had made it a point to try to do it on my own . Dad I have got to admit it been rough at times . I also worked hard at staying in this relationship I am in right now . Its been a hard eleven years , I don’t know how many times I wanted to walk away . But  some reason I didn’t .Relationships are hard Dad . But yet you stayed by Moms side forty plus years , I now know how much work that was for the two of you . If there were any problems , You and Mom did a good job keeping it from us . Although I do miss hearing the two of you fussing at each other .
                  What all this boils down to Dad is I want you know that love you and the thought of you not being there will at times will be hard because , I thought you would always be there . This promise I will work hard at making this relationship work , and try by your example to be there for those in my new family group . I have got make at least make one thing work and last in my life . Because I look at all you have done and gone through through out your life , what I have to face is small to all that you accomplished . What I am trying to do now Dad is tell you all that never had the courage to tell you . Yes , I know its late but I at least had to get of my chest . It is my hope , that this finds you in the after life and that will share it with Mom . Also , I know that I will see you again , every time I look in a mirror , at times I swear at times I see you there . You will be missed .
                               Thanks Dad for listening .

THE ONE PLACE IN THE WORLD THAT YOU WANT TO LIVE

                       Well this is hard topic to write about , because one could let his imagination and lose a sense of reality in . The are many places that we all would wish to to live , but with that are you being realistic ? Everybody daydreams of that ideal get away spot that we could while our days away in leisure . Are really going to be happy with that , yes for awhile , but soon boredom would set in .
                       So what is the one place in the world that I what live ? Well I lived in Michigan as a youth as well as Rhode Island and Pennsylvania . Those are the places I have lived while my Dad was in the service , that I remember .
                       Pennsylvania I remember because of one sad incident and a welcomed Christmas present . Well the sad thing is that I lost my best friend in first grade ,due to a auto accident . I never really found another best friend since . Bucky was to be my friend through out live , you know how boys are , we became blood brothers . Silly thing I know , but to a young boy it is important . As for the welcomed gift , it was transistor radio . It looked like Walkie-talkie , it had a picture of Vic Morrow from the TV show Combat . I liked that show . I even remember the first song I ever heard on it . Downtown by Petula Clark . Something about the lyrics really stuck on me . It made believe that downtown was a wonderful place , where you could forget your problems . So since I always thought the happening place was downtown no matter where I have lived .Of course there many other memories of Pennsylvania , of all those are the one most influential .
                    Rhode Island  , there was a place full of adventure for a young boy . We lived on a island in Narragansett bay . On the island there was a navel shipyard , it was exciting to for me to the ships come in to port , especially the one my father was assigned to . The cooks on board  ship loved my brothers and sister and me also . We ate there one day in the chow hall on ship , they served us what is called SOS on toast , and we all loved it . we thought that was a big deal . Then  .there was the beach we used to go to on the other side of the Island . On it was what was called Hangman's rock and off to the right there was a cliff with a house on it . To me it looked some what like the house it the show Dark Shadows ,it looked rater eerie on those could New England fall days .Then there was the Jazz festival at a park near by with all the hippies walking around . It was a sight to see by a young teenager to see and the music was something else . I do not remember who was their but I do remember hearing it . To me it was another  world and I wanted to know more about it . But that was not to be for a few years later for we moved to Michigan .
                 Now for Michigan We moved to an area in the country far removed from what was happening in the nation and the world . Our only connection to it was the radio for the music and Walter Cronkite on the six o clock news , where he provided a picture of the happenings around the world ,good or bad . During this time my Dad served in Vietnam at the Great Lakes navel station before he retired . This where I my best friend , Marmaduke , my German Shepard Collie mix . She was shades of brown and black stripes . She loved the snow and outdoors ,oh yes can't forget her Frisbee . She loved chasing after it along with running through the corn field next door . I could take her for walks through the woods and talk to her about anything and know she would not tell mom on me .
                Michigan was also where I discovered the underground college FM radio stations . It was here you could here the music that the Am stations would not play . It was listening to this that expanded my taste in Rock and Roll and Blues . Do not forget Saturday nights with the Doctor Demento Show . The Demented music that he played just cause my imagination to run wild .
              Oh yes , there were the winters that we had there and the camping trips with Boy Scouts in that weather . They for some reason seemed more fun than they looked . I enjoyed them , very much as a young man . There to many other memories to mention some good and some bad .
            I finally came to the decision to leave home as most young men do . To do this I joined the Air force . They promptly sent me to Texas for training . Most of my memories consist of Basic and Tech School . I remember the day before I went I was at the AFEES station in Detroit . We were allowed to leave post to go to a movie , of all movies it was the Texas Chain Saw Massacre , the original version . So I left with definite idea of Texas . When finished Basic training , there was the long bus ride to tech school . We went down this road that seemed to go on forever . We saw this tree ahead of us , we would drive what seem hours and not caught up with it . It was this ride I envisioned this guy jumping out of nowhere with a chainsaw in hand and that creepy mask .As we rode I kept looking for him ,but thankfully he never appeared . My sitting writing this blog attests to that fact .
            Well its on to my first duty assignment , I was California Dreaming . Yes it was California , that was to be my first assignment . The valley near Yosemite was to be it . The are where American Graffiti was filmed .This where I really opened up . This where I started Disc jockeying disco at the clubs on base . I know ,Yes it was Disco and some nights it would be Rock and Roll . It was all week at the club and Saturdays at the lake . Where we would practice our Disco moves in the grass .Then there was the coastal drive from San Francisco south to Santa Cruise with a stop at Blacks beach . The ride was a an adventure in itself . I would tell you all about it but it was one of those things , that really you had to be there . While I was here it was fun in the sun , a little partying at night and do not forget the work that I had do to be there and enjoy it .
              Well off to the next stop , West Germany as it was known at the time . The very first thing I was introduced to was the beer . Oh ,did mention my love of the taste of a beer . Man I sure in in the right place now . Do not let forget to mention all the good German food . There were all the festival to go to . Just about every village had one , some time during the year  . The beer tents , with the beer , brats and the Polka bands .The dance floor always filled up with chicken dance . It was so silly it was just fun . The drive down the Rhine River were so scenic on a bright spring day with the top off on my truck . The castles , grape vines on the side of the hills , the ships cruising down the river . and all the villages along the way . Each with its own story .Then there were the all day rock fests to go too . I went so many its hard to count . I also enjoyed my all night drives that I took along the auto bahn , when I could not sleep . I always wanted to go back someday .
                I guess what am trying to say , the only place I ever wanted to live is where I am at , at the moment . If you always wishing to be somewhere else , you may miss out on the the small memories that may mean the most to in later years .I have not gone into everywhere I have lived , But I can say I was glad to be where I needed to be at the time . Just like I am where I need to be now . Who knows what memories are to come and which ones I will remember most , but I am sure they will come . Maybe I will share them here in my blog .

Thoughts from the head ;ABOUT

                    A mission statement and how the idea came to be . Well , it started over a year ago , when I decided to buy my first computer . I bought this laptop through my company . And in my excitement of owning one I wanted to delve into this new world that opened up to me . Yes , this new world has been a learning experience . I saw this blogger site and I decided to try it and in a over a year latter I am still at it .
                   When started this , the question was what do I call it and what will it be about . As I thought it over , an idea came to mind . I wanted it to about my thoughts and stuff like that . Then I also though something my old man use to say all the time . He would get up and excuse himself from the the room and announce he was going to the head . Another term for the restroom . It’s a word that has many meanings depending on how you use it , and what kind of background you come from . So now I have a tittle “Thoughts from the head “ .
                    Now that got a tittle , what I write about . First of when sit in the head and when we spend a little quality time to our selves , be honest a lot of stuff does run through our heads . Some off it insightful some of it is just utter nonsense , Am I right . me my self I spend a lot of time , by my self , walking my floors at work . So I do have quite a bit time by myself to think . Man do I come up with stupid thoughts at night .Though some are good . A lot of times I think about what I would do if I won the lottery . I do believe I have good plan in my head ,if it should ever happen . Fat chance . So I guess what am saying , this blog is about what ever goes through my head ,that passes for a real thought .
                 First test is can I remember it long enough to even write about it . Next would be can I come up with it to write about it . Can do it with out going of on a tangent in the left field . Also , one concern I have is does make any recognizable sense , will it be understandable . Oh yes , one more thing which is the most important , will any one take the time to read it . Apparently ,some one is reading it , otherwise I would not still be doing this after a year .
                My next project is grow this blog . To try to get it to where I have more than thirty readers a day . I do post it on G+ ,twitter , and face book . That brings to mind am I interesting enough to keep bringing them back and pass the word around . I know in the grand scheme of things I am still the new kid on the block . So still have a lot to learn .
                 But one of main reasons I do this ,is , so that some one in the future does a family record search ,they will find a lot more than a birth certificate and the like . They will find what I thought about and more . Because I do write little stories about some happenings in my life . So guess this is mission my mission statement for my blog . DON’T LET A GOOD THOUGHT GO TO WASTE .
