It all started in the years of 1997 until 2008. My cat, Fluffy was grey with a white paint splash between her eyes and nose, white mittens on her front paws with white knee high socks on the back feet. Fluffy has been with us before I was even born. Lydia had gotten her as a present from our father growing up at the age of 4. When Lydia turned 5 she found out she was going to have a baby sister, aka me. Continue reading The First Family Pet, Fluffy
Memorial Day Means More To Me
I sat there as he pressed the flag’s wooden stick into the ground. The red, white and blue caught a gust of wind as if it was “proud” to be there. He took the small bundle of flowers and attached it to the grave. I watched my dad hide a tear as he looked down at the grave stone. Continue reading Memorial Day Means More To Me
Lydia Cooper – My First House
It’s still mine. Even if it should be torn completely apart it will forever be mine. Every room filled with memories, every board filled with pieces of my heart. A house is only a building until you make a memory in it, until laughter fills the hallways, until decorations line the mantle above the fireplace. Until a little piece of you is given it would seem to just be walls, ceiling and doors. This place has all of the hurts with tears, the trust and confidence and the love of my family etched within the walls and doors. My first and only home located in a small town of New Hampshire. Continue reading Lydia Cooper – My First House

Homeschoolers and School Children Invited
When I think about legacy, one of the areas I often think about our children. Clearly without having children or a generation to come there is really no sense in leaving a legacy.
If this website only leaves education and information for a generation to come that’s a good thing. But if we can encourage children and their parents to leave information here at this website that’s an awesome thing. Continue reading Homeschoolers and School Children Invited

Pictures Are A Part Of History
Not everyone is a writer. (That’s what my teacher told me. Well, she told me I was not a writer!) So…while spending my time with Albert Collins, a white board and a refreshing drink, I thought, “legacy belongs to everyone!” Everyone has a legacy. A heritage. A place of past. Continue reading Pictures Are A Part Of History

Tina’s Vacation Story
2015 Johndrow Family Vacation
It was with great anticipation as the van was packed and loaded with stuff and people. Great fun was had as the kids in our vehicle played Auto Bingo and joked about being stuffed in like sardines. Jacob told ALL of us he didn’t like sardines. We arrived to a sign that indicated Jesus was celebrated by the owners of the cottage and so we unpacked and ate dinner and checked out the place. It was decided Jordan, Mariah and Jacob would all sleep in the loft. The next morning at 4:30 – they were awake. Couldn’t wait to see what the day unfolded. I got up and drank some coffee and made breakfast. Bacon, eggs and bagels or toast. Continue reading Tina’s Vacation Story
Why Write About Vacation?
I just returned from an amazing vacation. I was in a region of New York, that I spent many a summer in. Suffice to say the time away was necessary and unforgettable. But what made it more satisfying was I was able to share it with my family. My five children and their children. Continue reading Why Write About Vacation?
This Is The Story Of My Dog, Moe
Growing up my requests for a dog were always denied with a reminder of the responsibility having such a friend would carry. It was a constant moot point between my parents and I; I wanted – needed to have a golden retriever and after begging, foot stomping, grunting and temper tantrums, I eventually settled for life with no canine bestie. Continue reading This Is The Story Of My Dog, Moe
My Grandchildren On Their First Fishing Trip
First fishing trip for the grandchildren.
This has been a vacation of firsts. Firsts for me. Firsts for my kids. And many firsts for grandchildren. Sometimes you have to break out to break in.
They have experienced canoeing, kayaking, s’mores and as of yesterday, fishing. Continue reading My Grandchildren On Their First Fishing Trip
