Patricia Joan Scott (nee Stephen) June 10th, 1940 – May 16th, 2019 After battling many health issues over the past two years, my mom passed away. I have some blog readers that are acquainted with the family – although probably most of you may know already. She suffered an inoperable hemorrhagic stroke on Tuesday morning …
David and I headed out for our “hike.” Now, being a hike and all meant that a backpack was needed. Probably a good thing I removed some of the heavier toys that David had added as he insisted on wearing his pack on his back the entire walk. As it was, the thing must have …
Previously, I posted about some of my genealogical research along with a couple of mystery persons. One mystery solved – yet more mysteries have been created.
