Genealogy and Family

My Mom and I had a wonderful trip to the South.  We chased down some genealogy leads and visited some of the places our people lived and worked. We got to visit with Jeff and
Sherrian in Chattanooga and Gram and Kathy in Columbus. It was wonderful to get away with my mom.

Some of the sites in Chattanooga

A glass bridge, I was terrified, but I did cross it.

The countryside was gorgeous!

We had to get some Krystals, of course.

This spider web was HUGE.  It was in the trees next to a cemetery we were visiting at the little church where my great-great-great grandfather, Joseph Robertson Hood, served as their minister.

Gram and Kathy ready to go out for dinner.

We went out to eat with my cousin, Daniel.

I loved this picture of my Grandpa Ben. He has been gone for 6 years now.

Chad is Home

Last Sunday we went to our nephew Chad's mission report. He did an excellent job. He served the last 2 years in Korea. It was great to hear about the Korean customs and climate as well as all he learned and was able to do. He is a wonderful young man. He read Jesus the Christ 3 1/2 times during his mission as well as the scriptures and several other books. Not to mention learning and then teaching the gospel in Korean! He amazes me. Way to go Chad!

A Flash of the Past

Today Richard and I scanned all the photos from our baby books. I have wanted them to be digitized for along time. They have been in the old magnetic albums that destroy photos. Eeek! Now they are safely preserved for generations to come.

On the left, me in August of 1976. On the right, Susanna in December of 2008. It's interesting to see pictures of us side by side. It is fun to compare. My mom saved the jumper for me until I had kids. I have a couple of other picture sets like this, of outfits on me and later on one of my girls.
