In October 1965 one son was on his Navy ship off the coast of Viet Nam.His younger brother was in a terrible auto accident in Northen California, not expected to live. I called the Red Cross to ask if they could get in touch with the Navy brother. A very curt, nasty male voice said, "When he dies, call us back and we'll see what we can do! and slammed down the phone before I could say another word. The brother slowly recovered from the accident. When my boss told me they were going to deduct so much money from our paychecks to donate to the Red Cross, I let him have "it" and gave my notice, so did another gal in the office.I was planning to leave before the end of the year but this gave me a good opportunity to have my say on the matter of donations, etc. Belle Belle ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joyce Ragels" <jragels@comcast.net> To: "ETM" <ETMaddox@verizon.net> Cc: <MEMORY-LANE@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, May 14, 2008 8:32 AM Subject: Re: [ML] THE SUBJECT IS Relief organizations > Many are just big corporations that operate under different rules because they are charities.

To all on the list, Since readingg the "Outlander" series a few years ago , and about the character Claire and husband James Fraser, I have been curious as to the possibility of one really being a 'time traveler.' Ther are several periods in the past history of my ancestors that I would like to know more about. One is the time of the first known ancesror to come to America in the 1600's. His name was John Haynie. He and wife came over, bringing 19 other persons with them. He had paid passage for them to come from England to 'settle the Colonies.' He received 'land grants' of 50 acres for each person he had brought with him. He bought more land and had nearly 2000 acres at his death. This was in Northumberland Co. Va. Another is during the reign of the French kings in the 1700's. On a visit to the Versailles Palace near Paris with my neice, I felt a strange familiarity with my surroundings as if I had been there before. My niece and I had become separated from our tour group and were standing alone in the great "HALL OF MIRRORS' ballroom. Someone or 'something' tapped me on the shoulder and cold chills went down my spine. I was shaking and couldn't speak for a few minutes. There was a strong odor of rancid perfume and body odor. I can almost snell it now, just thinking about it. I sometimes have dreams about various places that are so real that I feel I have really been there and a part of what was going on. Belle

Sounds wonderful Emma...most of mine were out of town but they called...my youngest daughter, (the one who lived in Lincoln City that I visited in Or) and little Nick, took me to Out Back for lunch. t is always very crowded but we only had an hour's wait. It was nice sitting there visiting with people we knew who came in after church.I also got a large pot of yellow tulips and a potted rose for my yard. Was very nice...I brought a doggie box home I just could not eat all my grilled chicken, shrimp and pasta and stuff. S

Well Emma... Sounds like you had a great time. My meal wasn't as elaborate as yours but I'll bet I enjoyed it as much as you did. Course, I live out in the country and there are not too many really nice places to go to eat. We try to save money and everybody brought 'stuff' to help out with the price. My youngest son and his wife are coming tomorrow and are taking me to Cracker Barrel... I really like the food there.

So, what did everyone do today... or this weekend? I hope you Mothers had a wonderful weekend! I did. I was invited to my daughter's home and there were about 15 others there. We had hamburgers and all the trimmings. I love my family soooo much! I was given flowers as gifts and cards and money too. I'll be spending that on necessities... There's a river behind my daughters house and most of the younger ones walked/hiked down there... it's about a half mile away. Of course, I didn't go because I could have never walked back up. My dear son-in-law asked if the ones who were left would like to ride down there in his truck, and we did.. it was a bumpy ride, but we enjoyed it. He showed us where deer hide in the underbrush and where he had seen other animals in the woods. I'm very pleased with the choice of a mate that my daughter made. Now y'all tell us what you did... AND... Happy Mother's Day!!! MaryClyde

I hope everyone had as good a day as I just had. My son and DIL took me up to the Columbia Gorge Hotel up near Hood River, on the Columbia River. Six other people joined us for brunch. Very, very good served in 6 courses. Food I've never eaten before. Then we walked around just a little. I had taken a wheelchair but the grounds weren't very wheelchair friendly. But I was ready to come home. I know I'll get a nap while I'm watching TV tonight. It was expensive but my son treated me. Then brought me a cyclamen plant, my daughter gave me an orchid corsage. I am so blessed. Emma in Oregon

I thought I'd re print this article I wrote titled 'Memories of Mom.'...Hope the 'newbies 'enjoy it... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~ Mother was born to a woman who didn't like her...They clashed from the word go...When Ma had twins she only had enough milk for one of them , so she put the weaker one on the bottle and turned him over to Mama. Harold had asthma, and allergies, I'm sure...Mom had to tote him around a lot as he had trouble breathing, and said she had made biscuits many a morning with one foot propped up on the rung of a chair so her baby brother could sit on her knee. She had to get up and cook breakfast then go to the field and work..Come home and cook dinner, clean up the kitchen then go to the field till time to cook supper...I asked if Ma had a lot of trouble when the kids were born and Mom said no, she was just lazy ! I told you they didn't get along ! When Mom was 17 years old Papa had a stroke, and she put in the entire crop that Spring with a little help from her younger siblings...She was a tall woman, and said at that time she could pick up a 100 lb. sack of feed , put it on her shoulder and carry it to the barn. Mama married to get away from home, I think, but found herself having to live with her in laws, and her new husband drank and ran around with other women...When their unborn baby had to be taken from her and she got milk fever and almost died hubby was out drinking and carrying on...She never lived with him again, and started saving up hard earned money to pay for a divorce while living at home...She never forgave him. A cousin she had dated as part of a group brought Daddy with him to date her younger sister Zula , and my parents fell in love instantly .... much to the disgust of Raymond Patterson , the cousin ! ....They started courting, and after 3 months, Daddy put his arm around her....A very respectful way to treat a divorced woman !...He sent her a lovely watch in the mail [ which she later gave me ,] and they wrote back and forth when Dad couldn't come courting...One night they went to a 'play party,' { Mama played guitar and sang } and Dad was stabling the horse just as the sun was coming up....The horse got to spend the day resting...Daddy had to go right to the field ! Now that's true love ! They got married sitting in the buggy out in front of the Squires house, which was apparently the fad of the moment...Oh yes, Daddy helped her get the money together to pay for the divorce when they got impatient to marry ...Mom said it cost $15.00, which was a princely sum back then... The first years of their marriage were hard, as they were sharecropping ...{ Dad was ambitious , moving up from each farm to a better one over the years, and saving money for their own place...} Mom said she hoed their cotton while Daddy farmed, and by the time she got to the end of the field ,it was time to start over again ! {Can you imagine that ? } Dad would hook up a horse and run the 'scraper' up and down each side of every cotton row...surely nerve wracking labor ! She would hoe alone if he didn't have time to help her, then he would go back and plow the middles to kill the wilted grass and weeds hoed from around the cotton stalks... After a short while the babies started coming along...Robert, Joyce, Me, Jerry, Reba, Betty , Gerald, and Janice....Just like stair steps...When we were 5 or 6 years old we went to the fields to hoe cotton, corn, etc., and to pick cotton in a grass sack with a rag strap ...My goodness, I don't see how Dad had the patience, but needs must, and we were all healthy eaters... Sorghum had to be stripped, cut down and piled to the side to wait for the wagon to haul it to the sorghum mill on a neighbors farm...I was one of the kids who had to cut the tops off...using the old butcher knife Dad made from a saw blade...Nicks on my bony knees and the cold made for a very sad little scrawny girl, I remember...We loved the 'lasses Dad brought home, though...I can just picture it rolling slowly over the lip of the jar, bubbles trapped in the thick amber liquid stretching into nothing as it was poured over a chunk of butter from our Jersey cow...Stirred together and slathered on a hot biscuit....Ummmm, good ! Mama was a tall reserved English sort of woman with lovely ash blonde hair worn in a crown of braids, and Daddy loved her so much....His family had a very raucous type of humor, and I think this love for Mom kept him sorta calmed down ....A scary bout with "Kidney colic " one Fall day while we were picking cotton in a field over across the Big Ditch was the first hint of the dread Leukemia that was to take the life of this handsome blue eyed man at the age of 34..... They had 8 kids in their 'short ' marriage , and Mom was 3 months pregnant when Daddy left us...She didn't tell him , as she thought he had enough to worry about...I know he went to Heaven, because he was shown a wonderful vision of it just before he died...He was a 'storytelling' man, and I remember him describing everything he saw...because Mama just couldn't seem to see what he was pointing out to her so excitedly... Ma kindly allowed us to move in with her in that big log house, and we stayed there till brother Paul was born , then Mom used the money left over after Dad's year long stay in hospitals and in Dr's offices to buy a 5 acre farm with a nearly new house...Needless to say she was suffering terribly from losing the love of her life, but she knew she had to keep on for our sakes...and Dad's image was kept so perfect and alive that it seemed like a natural way to live for us little ones... The man that owned the tenant farm set it up for us to get a check each month from the county, and Mama made it last so we always had just about everything we needed....When electricity came to our area she got the house wired and bought the fridge and other appliances one at a time on the payment plan...Since she never got even $100.00 a month for us 9 kids --nothing for herself--that took some planning...Maybe money from each year's calf she always sold as veal , working for others hoeing, etc helped her get them.....She canned every single thing that was edible, from Poke sallet to soup mix, and we always had plenty to eat...It was not unusual for her to can 2 or 3 hundred quarts each of snap beans ,tomatoes...and even blackberries ....I remember me and her picking those big swamp blackberries around the edge of the new ground while big sister Joyce took care of the little 'uns on a quilt in the shade...Yes, she canned everything for the cold winter months ... including the best ripe tomato relish in the world, and all sorts of jam and jellies ...Eating 'soup beans' was not a problem with her delicious skillet of cornbread and some tomato relish or chow chow to go with it..All the canning was done in a cold pack canner until she managed to save up enough money to buy a pressure cooker. Having heard tales of them blowing up, she sent all of us outside for safekeeping...Said she looked up later and every one of us kids was peeking around the doorways...Guess we wanted to see the mess if it blew up ! Since Mama had a " Sweet tooth ' , we never wanted for cakes, pies, biscuit pudding, or delicious fried pies...One of my favorite memories is walking up the hill on cold winter evenings after school [ We rode the 3 rd bus } and going in through the kitchen so I could find out what we were having for supper....The windows would be fogged over from the supper simmering on the stove, and Mom would be sitting there by the coal oil lamp , reading while she waited for us....On favored days the table would be centered by the biscuit plate piled high with fried apple pies...I can just taste them, they were so good ! Each pie covered half of the chipped old plate, and there was enough for every one of us to have a whole pie... Oh yes, I remember Mama , and how very hard she struggled to keep her bunch of kids together...Church and doses of 'peach tree tea ' kept us on the straight and narrow , and if I do say so myself, there aint a bad'un in the bunch ! { Well, some of us have a bit of Daddy's 'meanness' in us !*grin* } All of us own our homes, and we've raised a bunch of smart grandchildren...Counting in laws and outlaws there are about 125 descendents from that one couple ! Mama lived on for many years after Dad died, but she never got over grieving for him , and I think she was just marking time till she could join him ...When she died, it was just one day's date later , and in the same month that Dad died...I think he came for her, because she had a little smile on her face, even as she lay in her coffin...You'd have liked my Mama....I miss her so bad , especially as I read all the ads and everything about gifts to buy for your Mama.....How I wish she were alive and well so I could go see her.... I guess the only thing I can do is go through life in a way to make her and daddy proud of me. Jeannie T

Listers, I need a little help, I I found five yards of craft material and each yard is a bib apron with big ole pic of elvis black & white in his younger days on a background of red not the orangey red but the blue red. I was thinking of folding the bib over and cutting bottom to match top then fill in corners to square up by placing one in each corner and one in center then fill in with nine patches of black and white then black satin lining for one of a kind quilt. Anyone with wild imagination I'm waiting to hear your thoughts. After squaring up the five squares would be about 28" X 32" LaDonna ================== JEREMIAH 33:3

Carol, I can only give you some possibilities . Remember this one fact abt. folks back then ,they took their religion personally and expected their chillins too follow them and stay in the same religion they brought them up with and be in church every worship day ! I was reading about one of my own ancestors that went with a group of men to visit someone that didn't show up for church one time but he was there next worship day with his family early . There were groups that spun off of different religions some of them were'nt to credible .A catholic that became a protestant Oh My ,that was considered a sin .They prayed for you but wouldn't have nothing to do with you .If you didn't go to church you were a outcast to your pius family and friends .Perhaps he fathered a child out of wedlock ?There's to many reasons to list here .If your talking abt. the early puritans you really didn't need to do much of nuthin to be kicked out of the family .I think if we could find out what the MEUS means we might get a idea .

Methodist came into Savannah ,GA harbor and were just another part of the Protestant rable .Anyway that's what they were all considered then .The only exception could be the Episc. as they were a state church at the time and in VA. they owned the land and worked the Presb. thus the change in the Lords Prayer ,instead of the usual "and give us our daily bread etc." the Presb. say forgive us our debts as we forgive our debters" meaning the Episc. as their debter . I'll see if I can find out what M.E.U.S. stands for .

It's a cross between a boysenberry and a blackberry. A man at Oregon State University at Corvallis Or invented it and named it Marionberry, for Marion County. They are delicious, nice and juicy. I prefer them over any other berry. I used to can about a dozen quart jars full so I could have them through out the winter, but I'm long out now. I don't do canning anymore so I'll have to find out some other way of preserving them.

Momma Hi Linda, I haven't been chasing the tiller lately... My garden is beginning to come up and I've very pleased with that... BUT there are two rabbits that keep coming closer and closer and they're making me begin to worry!!! Should I get the rifle out and dispose of them or should I build a rabbit box? Hmmm.... don't believe I know how to build one!!! Last night I walked out onto the deck and there was an animal of some sort walking around hereNthere about twenty feet from the steps. I got the flashlight and lowNbehold it was a Possum... I kept the light on him and his yellow/green eyes kept looking at me, and I got chills down my spine! He finally found a place in the fence where he could go out and then I watched him from the front porch as he made his way under the shrubbery. Merciful Goodness, I don't want a Possum living in my yard. Lee, Carol, LaDonna...anybody, how do you run a Possum off??? Hope he went on across the road...

Momma Hey LaDonna and Carol and all... I've got to tell you about the situation I got myself into Saturday when I was out tilling the garden. That little garden is about 30' x 25'... anyway... I was going down one of the rows with that TroyBilt Tiller and got to the end. I raised up on it to turn it around and that rascal took off, just flying across the yard toward my chain link fence. Just jumped right out of my hands... I had to run to keep up with it and then had a time trying to turn it off or slow it down!! I'll bet that was a sight for sore eyes!!!! That old 74½ year old woman chasing a tiller across the yard. I'll tell you what... when I caught that thing my heart was beating a hundred times a minute, I do believe! I didn't know that machine could go so fast! Scared me to death... I had to go and sit down with a glass of tea and wait to calm down before I went back and finished. Got that place planted though. I can tell you this, I'm getting too old for all that excitement... Now all I have to do is pray for rain and wait and watch...

MaryClyde , We have possums here in our neighborhood and they get into everything ! My big ole cat has come in with a scratched up face more than once .I don't know why he wants to hang out with such riff raff .Once he got into a fight with a racoon ,he almost lost one side of his face over that ,you'd think he knew better .Ther's fox running around outside now and deer too .

AND, he certainly hasn't been run out of his natural home... I live WAY out in the country and besides my next door neighbor, who lives about an acre away, my next neighbors are about a half mile away. Theres plenty of woods for him to live in without crossing into my domain! He looked like he was a young animal and maybe he had searched my fence for a way to get in... and remembered, cause he went straight for the opening... which will be closed the next time he comes along. I love animals, but I was actually afraid of this one... what with rabies already found in our county. He wasn't acting funny, he just wanted to get away from that bright light that I was shining in his face... Down here in South Carolina we call them possums, and you see a lot of them lying in the roadways, especially this time of year...

She was caretaker for an elderly woman and made that fruit cobbler for her...Well, she wanted it every day, so soon Phyllis couldn't lift her and she had to quit making that cobbler ! Heres the recipe... Easy Fruit Cobbler Melt a stick of butter in a 9x13 pan...heat up a can of peaches, etc....Set aside...Mix together a cup of sugar, a cup of flour, a cup of milk, a little vanilla and one or two eggs....Pour in the melted butter, spoon fruit on top. The recipe says not to stir but I do, just enough to mix the fruit sort of evenly....Bake at 350 for about 45 minutes or till brown on top...Fruit will have swapped places with the batter and it will have a cake like deal on top...MY FAVORITE ? Heat up a large can of crushed pineapple...Add 2 or even 3 eggs to the batter...It will have a custardy texture...and is VERY good....Most folks use canned peaches.....
