"When I die, I want to be buried with a model T Ford - It has never left me in a hole yet!" was my Grandfather's favorite quote.



My family had a "Woody". Keep the memory alive with these decals.

Lost in the World of Fifties Movies

We have a small theatre at the senior's residence where I live and our Recreation Director has agreed to a "Fifties Movie" day once a week for the month of April and I volunteered to research and find the movies which has resulted in me being "lost" in the world of movies for the past few days.
I went to the movies fairly regular ( at least weekly) during the fifties but BOY! did I miss a lot of great movies! How many have you seen?

I couldn't help but create a Movie Catalogue lens to keep track of all these wonderful 'oldies'. Stop by and tell me your favorite movie from the 1950's era.

"GramaBarb: A Grandmother for the 21st Century"

The article highlights my passion for sharing family Genealogy with my grandchildren and the need for Grandparents to be active computer and internet users with their grandchildren. Plus we can share our creativity with our family through the use of Zazzle and Cafepress.

Beyond the Politics - meet First Grandma

Jan. 20/09 - Beyond the politics of the day I was thrilled to see family working together by including extended family. It brought tears to my eyes when I heard the words "Grandma Marian Robinson will be moving into the White House with her family!" Just stop and reflect on the importance of that example to the world. Here is a family that practices what it preaches. Grass root values in action and 2 very happy granddaughters because they will not have a stranger looking after them when Dad and Mom are away but they will have their beloved Grandma with them. Watch this video I found about Grandma Marian Robinson. It will warm your heart that she is living in the White House. Please meet First Grandma Marian Robinson and listen to what she has to say.
