PROGRAMMING NOTE from the Author and Archivist


So obviously I just stopped blogging on this platform. I'll get back to it eventually. Or not. I'm taking a break from all social media. It seemed necessary for my mental health.

The last few years have been busy and … challenging:

- 2015 Happened.
- 2016 Let's call it The Lost Year. (Obviously words failed me.)
- 2017 about broke me. Literally. Mentally.
- 2018 was ridiculous, proving 2017 was just a warm up. (Good thing I was already broken so it couldn't hurt as much.#2018TrashCanFire I thought things were going okay, but maybe not?)

- 2019 was such a blur. I know there were highlights, but then stuff happened and carried into the next year...

- And then in March#2020 really took a turn. Who can even categorize 2020? Do we dare?


I kinda want a do-over of some of the last few years. But life doesn’t work that way.


So for now, I'm hunkering down. Regrouping. Trying to stay safe and sort some stuff out.


Stay safe everyone. Stay well.

Letters from Ollie J - Jan. 15, 1983

15 January 1983

[Temple Mission
Kensington, MD

[Hand-delivered via church congregation member – with this note:
Thank you for coming to the temple and for delivering the book to my granddaughter. Have a safe trip home.]

Dear [Granddaughter],

How’s my granddaughter this morning? Hope you feal[sic] good and happy.

Oh I did enjoy my stay at your house. The bed slept good. The food was great. All were kind to me. Thanks ever so much for the gifts and everything.

Enjoyed your music and hope you will practice it and find joy now in this talent and greater joy and pleasure later as you entertain people and your self. God will smile upon you too.

Be nice to your family too. Oh yes its sometimes hard to be the oldest but oh so rewarding too.

Hope you study your book and learn lots from it.

God bless you in all you do.

Lots of Love,

Grandma
