First Day of School 2019


This smiling giant is now in the 9th grade. 
This is what 14 looks like. 

I have to measure him but I believe he's about 6' 1" now.

This young lady is now in 7th grade. She added swimming and
 diving practice into her already busy schedule. 

If anyone can handle it, I know she can.

    Hi Andrea, it's fun watching your kids grow up over the years. Please keep posting their photos - I know there's always a privacy issue. My daughters post on Facebook which is probably more dangerous than a genealogy blog.

    You guys are doing a great job! All the best -- Randy

      Hi Randy. Thanks so much for stopping by. I'm glad you've enjoyed the pictures. Time flies doesn't it. My son now towers over me. He's still my little boy though. (He's got such a sweet spirit.)Thanks again. Hope you and your family are well.

    Wonderful! Isn't it interesting how there comes a year where they just shoot up? Your boy is almost a man! And your girl is holding her own beautifully. I hope they both have an excellent year.

      Yeah, you got that right. He definitely has been doing some growing and he's only 14 so I know there's more to go. She's my sassy lady now. Love them both to the moon and back. I haven't been on-line as much lately. I have to go get caught up on your blog. I miss it.

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
