"What allowed her to remain patient, steadfast and faithful to purpose, as I impatiently wait at the Target checkout line?" hahaha, good contrast, and a fun question to answer. Also love the makeshift headstone on your wall--beautiful, Jan!

Wonderful! A very refreshing and inspiring story on a blazing hot day in the Midwest. Like a glass of cold water to help with thrist on said day! Thanks for sharing! Liz

The word blazing is so accurate to this day. Thank you for your warm -- no pun intended -- comment to encourage my writings. I am glad you enjoyed, and were refreshed & inspired. I love stories of ordinary people leaving a good mark. I believe they are all around us and good is greater than it's opposite!

Thank you Randolph. I am grateful to know the small backstories of my family. As we learn from Ruth, history is the road (map) - if we listen it can be a compass in the toolkit. So grateful for historians, family and educational, so much to know and absorb from them. ~~
