The Book Of Me 2018 Edition: What Do You Look Like? --How Did I Get Here? My Amazing Genealogy Journey

So as I write this first paragraph here, I want to let you guys know that it is 9:16 pm. I was going to take a selfie and then I thought better of myself and decided to hold off until morning. Let's face it. I'm 45 and I know that means that I need lighting. Good natural lighting that is. I also, need a face that has had a good night's rest and a bit of make up. Definitely make up. Am I vain. No. Well maybe just a little. What I do know is that I am middle aged. Nowadays, I need some help to make things look like how I think I look in in my head. So I'm going to put this post on pause, until morning...

Okay this is me with good lighting, a full night's sleep, and a little make-up. Oh yeah, maybe a little soft focus on the camera and some minor retouch. You also have to know what's your best camera angle.

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

Image
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
