My visit to possible workcamp houses today was a reminder why I do this. I has escorted into a small neat but cluttered home by a beautiful young lady that had just come from a job interview. She was one of 7 children living there with her mom. She was a good hostess as she gave me a seat in the kitchen, opened the oven door and lit the stove so I wouldn't be chilly. I noticed a detailed cross reference chart over the sink....each child's name and their chores for the day. I loved this mom and I hadn't even met her yet. The house had no heat source except a woodstove in the kitchen and a kerosine heater in the small room where she led me. The young beautiful daughter introduced me to Tyler, her little one month bundle that arrived Christmas. This family if wonderful and I can't wait for teens to spend a week with them. They are a wonderful, caring, loving family living under a cloud of hardship. We will take some wood by for their kitchen woodstove soon....
I "met" a new "cousin" through Ancestry.com......we had a lively conversation on the phone...she is in California and we have much information to share! Maybe I can get to the Richmond library soon!
Heartache in Newport News and I really don't even know how to write about it. Brooke is Jeffrey's love for a year. She is a lovely person with three beautiful children. Her ex, a very angry, sick man....committed suicide Sunday evening.......there are no words.....
Oops...must stop typing.....THE DAILY SHOW/Jon Stewart is coming on!! :)
