Not Pandora's box

A blog is an opportunity to practice writing. I've kept a daily journal since 1970 but it is private and no one will puzzle over my sentence structure or spelling. A blog should have a coherent thought and sentences, relevant or not. Richard Dawkins' in "The Ancestor's Tale" talks of written history and mentioned knowing very little about the 8 grandparents he can remember. That reminded me how little I remember of my mother's parents, the only grandparents I knew. I have no excuse for not leaving some written record for my grandchildren. It doesn't take much to kindle memories.
My screen saver is a slide show of photos from albums in my archives. When sister, Ruth, and I played cards several weeks ago, a photo of brother, Emil, and I came on screen, standing on the frozen lake where we lived in 1939 with the farm buildings in the background. We were carrying our lunch pails on the way to school. Boy, oh boy, did that bring up memories! - of the Halloween fire that caused the move, the one room school at the end of a mile walk, playing with snakes at recess, and as with my life, memories go on and on.
While those are subjects for written articles, this is not the place. Watch, not for history but, for MYSTORY on http://www.sherer.org
