Wordless Wednesday: Family Vacation --Siesta Key 2015

Thank goodness the family and I were able to get away to one of our favorite places, Siesta Key, Florida. This winter was a tough one. Where we live in upstate NY, it was a very cold and snowy. From the moment we got off the plane in Siesta Key, we all received an instant energy boost from being able to feel warm air on our skin and the sun on our faces.

There's something so soothing about seeing palm trees

My son is a wonderful big brother to his sister.
 Here he's taking her for a boat ride in the pool.

Don't get me wrong he and her have their moments. In general, they play well together.

    We visited Siesta Key a few years ago. Do they still do the Drum Circle on Friday night? That was great! Enjoy your vacation!

      Thanks Wendy! I don't know about the drum circle. I will have to look into this. We are so much enjoying just hanging out by the pool with the kids. This evening we're going to hit up the beach after dinner and probably the next couple of days as well.

      I just looked it up-- seems to be on Sundays now. I don't know if Easter will have an effect on that.

    Your son is turning into a real little man there. Both of them are growing up before our eyes. Wish I was going to spend some time at the beach.

      They certainly are growing up. My son is going to be a tall one for sure! He almost wears the same shoe size as his father and he's only 10.

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. Hall, Anthony Dennis,  Edward Hooker, Killis Green, David Sampson, Phillis Borden, Ezekial Pastuer, and A. F. Mitchell of Craven County and State of North Carolina of the second part , Trustees of the Mt. Olive Church, African Methodist Episocpal Zion Church in America of No. 6

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
