~Family~

I found out I have a lot of family on my

dads side. The Woodworth family. There

is a website and a yahoo group that of

course I belong to.. Ive found I have

cousins in Kalamazoo, Battle Creek and

Grand Rapids. Ive talked to my cousin

Mary, shes very nice, and not far, so

I'm hoping she might come and visit me.

Id sure like that. She has a sister Gayle,

like I did.

Our cousin Lowell that's in charge of the

yahoo group, lives in FL, came up here to

Grand Rapids on his way up to the Soo, he

and his wife stopped at the Woodworth farm

I wrote and told him about. My cousin Earl

(Hap) Woodworth lived there. I found a

newspaper clipping that told of a celebration

there in 1982 for the 100 year birthday of

the farm. It was purchased in 1892 by Irving,

Haps dad. The farm is in Grand Rapids, it used
to be a dairy .
15 room farmhouse
I sure would love to go and see this farm. The

15 room farmhouse is still there and the milk

barn and the big barn. There is 240 acres there.

Sadly it was sold to the Grand Rapids Gravel

Company and is rented to someone. The renter

was very nice to show Lowell, Kathy and 2 of

our other cousins, Mary and Gayle around. The

photos are Lowells. So amazing to see the road

sign of my familys name. If I could get a ride, I

surely would go. :-)
Barn

I talked to my boy last night and he promises to

come over the weekend to finish my deck.. I cant

wait. I promised him I would make some potato

salad for him, one of his favorites too. I have to

admit my potato salad is the best of any I have

ever eaten.. :-)
Almost lunch time and I'm still waiting for Rebecca

to come by.. The ants were all over hummers feeder

and he sure was mad. You can see the ant legs even.

Its sugar water in there so its sticky :-) I'm gonna

post this cuz this GORGEOUS WEEBLE is hungry,

stay cool, keep well and God Bless...

Always, Lois ****

"God Bless You" is my prayer today,

I'm honored to call you 'friend'.

I pray the Lord will keep you safe,

Until I write again...
