Oh Wow! I Forgot How Much I Love This Album


Oh Wow! I Forgot How Much I Love This Album --How Did I Get Here? My Amazing Genealogy Journey


 Okay, this is a case of how the right thing found me at the right time this morning. I was reminiscing using Youtube. I found some of the songs that I used to listen to when I was in my twenties and was jamming out doing housework and such. Then I came across Dion Farris's song,"I Know." I forgot how much I loved the album, Wild Seed, Wild Flower. Not all the songs are on Youtube, but this particular one I am about to share was. I haven't heard this in a good 10--15 years. The CD is packed up in my house, somewhere. I am going to make a mental note and go through my old music this week. Anyway, I digress, here's one of the songs I'll be singing along with as I fold laundry. Hope everyone has an awesome day! I was going to wait to share this as a Something About Me Saturday post, but I think the song may brighten the mood of someone who needs it today.



Find Your Way from the album Wild Seed --Wild Flower

Never knowing in the dark, in the light
When the world will change
Eliminating all the fear, all the sadness
In the falling rain
Touch my heart, touch my soul
Lead me into the light of the day
Time slips ever fast, instantly becoming the past

You've gotta find your way before it's too late

Endless sky, yours and mine
For to see all our dreams to come
With all you see, focus your energies on what is to be done
Live your life, love yourself
Know that everything has just begun
Time slips ever fast, instantly becoming past

It's Been A Long Time

I wanted to say hello to everyone. I know it's been a long time since my last post. The world is in a much different space from when I last wrote on March 2nd. So am I. I hope and pray that all of you out there are safe and taking care of yourselves and your loved ones. Sorry that genealogy has kind of fallen by the wayside.  Please stay vigilant and wear your mask when you go out. Keep the hand sanitizer handy. Wash your hands. This is how we take care of each other these days.  Be well, be kind, and be patient. There is a light at the end of the tunnel.  We'll get there if we take care of each other.

Amanuensis Monday: Charity Ambrose Deed to Mt. Olive Methodist Church

Image
At last, some genealogy right?!! LOL. I decided to jump back into things with an Amanuensis Monday post. I have to thank a fellow genealogy friend of mine who helped me out a couple of months ago, Nathaniel Glasgow. He brought to my attention a deed which documents the sale of about an acre land from a woman named Charity Ambrose  to the trustees of Mt. Olive AME Zion Church in Riverdale, NC. Guess who's listed among the trustees. My maternal 3rd great grandfather and his son, Mortimer and Alfred Mitchell.  State of North Carolina}      Craven County This deed made this 6th day of November in the year 1893 by Charity Ambrose of the first part of Craven County, and Mortimer Mitchell, Charles F.

Pink Invitational 2020

Here's pictures of our beautiful girl back from injury. In the fall, she broke a bone in her left foot which took a long time to heal. These are pictures from her second competition of the season, Pink Invitational 2020. She's getting stronger every week. I loved watching her compete and hanging out with her teammates. They are so supportive of one another. No medals this time for her but she gained a bunch of her confidence back.  She competed late on Saturday February 22, 2020 so that involved an overnight stay in Philadelphia. I don't like driving long distances at night especially if I'm tired. The following day we spent time sightseeing and checking out a Blick art supply store that was near our hotel. OMG! If you love doing art, then you love Blick! We could have spent the whole day there, trying out different art supplies, but we had to make that drive back home.  Bob and his squirrel assistant are looking at me like, "Who the
