I sometimes develop a fatal attraction to something and then get so totally focused on it that I will look for ways to incorporate my fascination into my daily routine. Which is how The Perfect Storm Shawl came into being.

Building Blocks: Adopted Heirlooms
http://lswilcoxenlegacy.blogspot.com/2011/06/adopted-heirlooms.html
Dedicated to the memory of my ancestors. Wednesday, June 22, 2011. There are three heirlooms in my home that did not come down through family channels, but are treasured keepsakes nonetheless. They were given to us by church members while we were living in Smiley. Not too long ago I was poking around the Elgin Antique Mall and stumbled across a lamp that is in original condition. It turns out this stove dates to the early 1900s. In the October 5, 1905, edition of the Earlington, Kentucky, Bee.

View my complete profile. Sunday, August 05, 2012. I cringed a few times as I listened to the old kitchen counter tops being ripped off. I knew they knew what they were doing, but it sounded like the cabinets under the counter tops were splintering into a million pieces. I have a roof over my head and areas in the house...

Dedicated to the memory of my ancestors. Thursday, April 26, 2012. Remembering our Southern Veterans. Apologies to my Frankum/Lentz kinfolk who may see parts of this post appear in the upcoming Reunion newsletter.). In fact, as I was mulling over whether or not I wanted to join, I was challenged by one of the local historians to explain why I would want to become a member. I knew the answer immediately, even though I had not really tried to put it into words. Their older brother Lee is buried next to Mar...

Building Blocks: November 2010
http://lswilcoxenlegacy.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Dedicated to the memory of my ancestors. Thursday, November 25, 2010. Heirloom of the Week. But I could not bring myself to dispose of it. I'm a real sucker for hanging on to the items that give me a tangible link to my ancestors. So not long ago I hauled it back into the house and decided to use it to store other pieces of family history that are in my custody. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Visit My Other Blogs.

Building Blocks: Heirlooms of the Week - The Bibles
http://lswilcoxenlegacy.blogspot.com/2011/07/heirlooms-of-week-bibles.html
Dedicated to the memory of my ancestors. Monday, July 4, 2011. Heirlooms of the Week - The Bibles. The two Bibles in the next photo were once used by my Hodge grandparents (the black one on the left) and my great aunt Fay Hodge Branton (the blue one on the right). The small Bible on the right, the cover spotted with some kind of decay, belonged to my great-grandmother Cora Mobley Hodge, Mary Caroline's youngest daughter. The Bible is a good book that's even better when it's the worse for wear.".

Building Blocks: August 2009
http://lswilcoxenlegacy.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Dedicated to the memory of my ancestors. Monday, August 10, 2009. All of us descendants of Horace and Lucy Hodge confess to having warped senses of humor. Outsiders frequently don't "get" us. Those of us on the inside, however, are fluent in the Hodge brand of humor and even go so far as to brag about being different and misunderstood. So who do we blame for this oddness we all inherited? Was it the Hodge line or the Mobley line or the Mason line or the McAfee line? Rule number 3 - the defense rule - is ...
