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 - Feb. 1980s

Here we have two notes that came with my birthday cards during the 1980s. I'm guessing about the dates, based on content, address, types of birthday cards, postage, etc.

February 1980s?

The Farm
Pikeville, NC

Birthday Card note:

I sit here thinking of the day you were born and waiting for a phone call to say were here safe and sound. Oh happy we were and our love has grown as you have grown.

Take Care

Lots of Love and best wishes

GrandMa

Sometime later in the 1980s ...
