My Big Brother Skip


This is my brother, he is 9 years older than me. He left home and moved to Chicago with our uncle  Clyde when I was 8 years old. He went to work cooking in a place in the Loop, where he met his wife Frieda. We have very similar hairstyles but I think his head is bigger. We haven't seen each other very often in all these years, but when we do get together it seems like we haven't been apart. He used to tease me quite often when I was a child.  He told me that a family of Chinese slowed down in front of the  house and kicked me out of the door , his mom felt sorry for me and took me in and to prove I was Chinese he quoted Ripley's Believe it or not. where it said "Every fifth child in the world is chinese" then he would count us off by age, and by golly I was the fifth child. I love my big brother very much, without him I wouldn't be the emotional cripple I am today. Posted by Picasa

Being open to new things

     Have you ever put off something you had never tried before? That's the way I was with Face Book and Blogs. A short time ago I was encouraged to check out FaceBook, and there I met some very wonderful people. Libby & Mike , Heather & Christian & Troy & Tory. Mary & so many more, I am so happy I've met these special folks. I even re-connected with a high school friend Barbara that I hadn't seen for many many years. Libby encouraged me to look a bit further, and here I am at Blogspot. So if you happen by, don't leave without saying Hi. Tell me how you met the Lord Jesus.
