My Earliest Memories With My Mom

  My Earliest Memories With My Mom 

By Eric Poppy 

5/13/2021

    My earliest memories with my Mom I recall them like this.  I remember sitting in the car for instance, going from Springtown, Texas, to Shreveport, Louisiana.  Sitting in the back seat.  I can remember my brother being in the car.  So, it was after 1985.  I could see the difference in the soil the moment we crossed the state line.  Or, my Mom going into 7/11 and buying a drink.  A big gulp.  Tea or diet coke.  She would always give me and David a sip.  Or, when my Mom made a Mickey Mouse cut sandwich for me.  Watching Andy Griffith or Little House on the Prairie.  

    I do not have many pictures from this era.  But when I find some, I will upload them.  The pictures give proof of what happened.  Like they say, "A picture is worth a thousand words".  The pictures also give something visual.

    Speaking of pictures.  I remember when my Mom would go to take pictures of me, or the family.  She put so much effort into getting each picture correct.  It made me uncomfortable taking pictures.  But now, I am glad she did that.  I appreciate the effort now that I am older.

    Some of my memories when we lived in Fort Worth.  I remember going to swimming lessons.  Or, when Mom would wake up extra early before school.  She would make sandwiches for my brother and me for lunch.  Another time, right before we moved to Washington.  I remember how we went to an event at the school.  I won a basketball.  My brother won Chuck-E-Cheese coins.  We had fun with both.  Dad was there for that.  Or, when we went and watched the Fourth of July celebration that summer.  Or, early efforts of my Mom teaching me to read.


Me and my niece, Adelaide

One day.  My sister came over.  I was feeling down that day.  It sometimes happens.  But she let me spend some time with my little niece, Adelaide.  This made me feel happy.  I thought of how we might get to do fun things when she is older.  She has an older brother named Brice.

Ukraine Invasion Continues

 Earlier this week Russia began invading the Ukraine.  Now, that invasion continues.  This video  shows footage of supposedly Russian forces firing, near Kharkov. The city is located in Eastern Ukraine.  I heard another say that Russian forces are nearing Kiev.  In the article,  The explosions were seen near Kharkiv, Ukraine, a city with a population of roughly 1.4 million nested near the eastern border and approximately 300 miles from the capital city of Kyiv, Ukraine This just shows how quickly the Russians moved.  Are we going to respond?  I don't think we can.  Ukraine is not a NATO nation.  The Russian President warned everyone about interfering, and said  attempt to intervene would lead to "consequences they have never seen." Putin did not specify what his threat meant.  But I expect most people understand, that this could be nuclear.  Supposedly, Russia and China have entered into a new partnership.  Just ...

Filling Out the FAFSA

 Along with re-applying to UTA I also filled out my FAFSA for 2021 and 2022.  I always forget to fil out my FAFSA.  But this year I did it because I am re-applying for school.  I intend to use the GI bill rather than student loans.  But it is on the to do list.  You can fill out the FAFSA yourself at  https://studentaid.gov/h/apply-for-aid/fafsa .  I need to order transcripts according to my checklist.  But UTA already has my transcripts.  Still, I guess I will find out whether I need to do so in the next day or two.  It is a weekend that I submitted my application.  So, I need to allow a couple of days.  It will be good to be back in school.  After working at Albertsons maybe I can tough it out a little better now.  I have a bit of a work ethic now.  I cannot wait to start.  Not sure if I will start this fall, or next spring but I am determined to finish my studies.   Scott is going to come b...

Rhetorical Writing Triangle

  Rhetorical Writing Triangle I wanted to run an advertising campaign.  To test out the features of pinterest business mode .  I chose this Rhetorical Writing Triangle to advertise.  The campaign has generated 61 clicks.  It is clear, I do not know what I am doing.  But I am interested in learning so I could help out and maybe make some money.  It is clear, many people want to learn about Rhetorical Writing.  Yet, do they even teach it in school?  I have no idea.  I was home schooled.  But I did attend Christian Liberty Academy.  I remember some of there Grammar involved Essay writing.  Book reports too.
