SEPTEMBER 2010 OLD AND NEW BEGINNINGS

Hard to believe I will be 85 in December, as my father used to say, "God Willing and the Creek don't rise.". I intend to write more about my childhood and add some pictures. I sometimes have good plans and intentions but don't follow through. Here is hoping that I do what I plan.
