My mother threw away all he pictures! Why? I have no idea. It was as if she knew she wasn’t going to be around long, and she didn’t want my sister and me to have to go through her things.

I’m different. I brought boxes and boxes and boxes of pictures and albums here from Nevada. I’m going to have a girls party, maybe this Sunday if all is well, and have my children and ther children go through all the pictures and take what they want. I don’t have enough room for all of them anyway.

Maybe someone will ask, “Who iare the people in this picture?” And I will tell them abou my grandparents, their great grandparents, and their great great grandparents. I need to write about this in my memoirs and time is flying by. My intentions are good, but I keep writing other stories. I will go back to my memoirs though, hopefully sometime this year.

It will be fun watching all of them going through the pictures, and see which ones they take. The idea is to have all of them over together. My children, and my grandchildren.

There was a terrific newspaper article about us in the viewnews.com in Henderson, Nevada yesterday.  I’m still also getting emails, and cards from my fellow Anthem Authors. Thank you, and yes, I do miss you.

Tomorrow my granddaughter is going to the doctor, and she just might find out if she if carrying a boy or a girl. I have to find a knitting store. I know there is one in the neighborhood.

Give the gift that lasts foreve and costs nothing. Adopt A Caregiver, and tell them your friend Helene sent you.

Keep love and kisses in your life. Helene
