MessageOk, folks, just to put things into perspective about a couple of words in a pledge or printed/stamped on currency, think about this one awhile, courtesy of me cuzzin Steve..... ;-) SueB McArthur's Trivial Thought for the DayT: The U.S. Congress passed a law in 1832 requiring all American citizens to spend one day each year fasting and praying. For the most part, people ignored the law, and no effort was made to enforce the legislation.

Bettye, Mattie very well could have been a nickname for Mathilda. I hadn't thought of that. My mother's great grandmother's name was Mathilda Carmichael, but she was from Lumber City, Ga. (Telfair Co.) I can't find out a thing about her, so far. I have an Aunt Mat, whose real name is Martha and I had a great aunt whose name was Mattie Belle. My dad's maternal grandmother's name was Mary Virginia Harpe, but she was called Molly and my mother's maternal grandmother's name was, Mary Ann and she was also called Mollie. They were both surprised when I told them their reall names were Mary. They both said, "no, Grandma's name was Molly. We had an Isabella Tucker Nobles in our family, that lived to ber 97, but she was born in Ms. in 1847 and then moved to Tx. at 2 on a covered wagon. If I ever get to go back to Ga. for a little while and can break free of my parents and visiting every old person that they know while I'm there I'll see if I can find out anything for you.

My wildflower project didn't do so well, and I just contacted Wildseed Farms in Texas and they are reshipping 14 lbs of the Southeastern Wildflower mix to be planted by the DOT and our Garden Circle again along the Atlantic Blvd section, just before the intercoastal waterway. The other areas of the city we had beautiful wildflowers, and the project here, was my idea. Anyway the seed is to be planted next month in October, and hopefully we will have beautiful wildflowers in bloom along Atlantic Blvd. and the intercoastal waterway. See our Fl Fed of Garden Club web site at www.ffgc.org scroll on down to roadside beautifaction and you'll see our project and the wildflower seeds planted by Queens Harbour. Glad you enjoy the wildflowers and Garden Clubs also. The wildflowers this month in Georgia and on the edge of South Carolina were beautiful and still in bloom. Wildflowers are a special project of mine. Good to hear from you. Still researching my Hawkinsvlle ancester Mattie (Mathilda Lou) Simmons Tucker, a grandmother that died young in Hawkinsville, Ga no new leads yet. Found out an uncle from there probably has a surname of McAlister. I am beggining to think Mattie was nickname for Mathilda.

Sue, The way I see it, no matter what your religion might be, praying and fasting that you did because you were forced to wouldn't be very effective, to say nothing of the fact that it infringes on a person's rights.

Ooooh Bettye, that sounds really scary! I grew up with a cemetery behind my house, but it was quite a distance behind it. Sometimes I would spend the night with one of my friends who lived on the street behind us, after church and we'd take a shortcut through the cemetery, along with her brothers and sisters. It was the oldest part of the cemetery. We didn't have to be in it long and of course we either ran through it or walked really fast, but it was spooky and scary! My aunt also lived beside the cemetery where most of our relatives are buried. When we'd go to visit, my mom would send me out to get something out of the car at night and one of my cousins would hide out there somewhere and scare the daylights out of me. It would be neat to find all the artifacts though. Jin [email protected] wrote:Mike and Whitewolf, There is a resturant just a few miles over the intercoastal waterway from me called the "Homestead".

Hi Marge, Great to hear from you too! Where are you from? I had a neighbor, who also happened to be our family doctor, Elizabeth Sue Crawford Fields. She married a man named Bill Fields. They lived in Marianna, Ar. in the Ms. delta, about 50 miles from Memphis, Tn. How fortunate your mom is to be having her 92nd birthday! How is her health? I just returned from spending the night in Jonesboro, Ar. with my daughter and 4 grandsons, after having kept my youngest grandson, Jayden (Scooter) who is 3 all weekend! I thouroughly enjoyed it, though. Love, Jin mfields155 wrote:Hi Jinney, It is so great to hear from you. Am getting ready for a trip Home for Mom's 92nd Birthday.

It actually rose slightly from were it turned. I just watched the CBS "whatwe saw" DVD, and they caught the second plane making a fly-over before it turned and struck. This was on the Live tape. The newws cvommentator MISSED it even on rewinding the tape, but you can see teh second jet going over, then just before the impact you glimse it BETWEEN the two towers. Judging by the tape, it flew over, made a hard descending right turn, and pulled up at the last second. Whoever was at the controls wanted to make sure he hit the OTHER tower. Jeffery G.
