Helping others discover their roots
“There are two lasting bequests we can give our children: One is roots, the other is wings.” Teaching children values and giving them the opportunity to excel is essential to good parenting. However, I feel I must also provide my children (and myself) insight into the ones who came before us: our ancestors whose lives and stories have shaped us into who we are. This is my journey; these are their stories…

Tales of a Family 
Hi Ann Marie. I don’t know that you saw this rattle across your inbox, but I stood up a real Halloween story just a while back. Except for a few tweaks, this actually happened to me. I’ll leave it to your imagination to guess the main tweak. I call it, “October Lights” and hope you enjoy it.

I think that you would make an amazing social studies teacher, Ann Marie… you could bring history to life for your students through family history!
As to this month’s theme, here are a few family history posts:

Hello again Ann Marie. I’m so sorry to hear of the situation with your back. You know that I had my own bout with sever back pain and through that I learned some things and some options. If you ever want to chat with someone who both cares and know a few things – I would love to and listen and share what I learned. Just ping me.
In the mean time, another story came to mind and I captured it. All the way through, I was thinking that you might enjoy it because it has lots of things you care about: kids, fun parenting, education (well sorta), Colorado goofing off and explosions. What’s not to love? If you can find about 7 minutes – I think I can bring a smile to your face.

Hi Ann Marie. I think you may have mentioned that somewhere along the line. And yes, it is always such a welcome compliment that my friend the English teacher likes one of my stories. Not all my teachers understood my humor as well.
