I hope this blog will help keep us involved with each other. There are no rules. Just tell us what's going on in your life.
It's Spring 2008 and you know how that affects a young man's fancy. This picture was taken in 1926 or thereabout and the lovers are DeZell Gibbs and Dortha Cox. I thought it might be appropriate to acknowledge our authors in this inaugural posting.
There aren't many of our family left of the generation in this picture—only one. That would be Aunt Martha who is celebrating her 90th birthday on Sunday, Mar. 30th. Her children are throwing a party for her at the Leland Residence (previously the Leland Hotel) and we're all invited. If you can't make it, send a card Her address is 11090 Arba Pike; Fountain City, IN 47341.
Well, I hope you will each and all post your own stories on the blog. I look forward to reading about you.

Great first post, Jaye! Glad you were able to figure it out so easily, and include a picture, too.
I hope this blog will provide a link to the family. We are all so busy and time gets away before we realize. Certainly would be nice to hear from everyone.
Good to see everyone at Aunt Marthas party today.
Just checking out the blog for the first time. Seems like a great way to keep in touch.
We're gearing up for the softball/baseball seasons. Practices have begun, just waiting for the warm weather to arrive.
love to all...bye for now

Okay...I dont want to be houseofnut for all of you, so here is my official comment.
I like the blog though it is all new to me.
And I am concerned that Grandma G would be upset at all of us for referring to her by her given name, Dortha! Dad, I believe there may be a time-out coming to you in heaven for starting that!
We love you any-which-way, G'ma!!!!
Uh, hello! you didn't see EVERYONE at Aunt Martha's party, Lisa... Anyway hello to everybody who reads this! Wish I could have been there.
I agree with Lisa, Aunt Martha's party was very nice. There seemed to be at least 150 people in attendance. Sad Gma wasn't there to celebrate with Aunt Martha.
Last Nov. I took Gma old print tablecloths to a woman I know, Paula Foster, who recycled all the tablecloths into a quilted tablecloth for my table. It turned out so nice. I think Gma would have been pleased to see all her old worn tablecloths made into one nice usable table cover.
Hope all is well, just waiting for Spring to arrive.
