My Earliest Memories With My Mom

  My Earliest Memories With My Mom

    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.

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. 

The Carter Family - Keep On The Sunnyside (Live 1965) IN COLOUR!

I don't really know the history of the Carter Family.  For all I know, they are related to Jimmy Carter.  But I like this song!  I first heard it in the film O Brother Where Art Thou?  when I saw the film in the theater.  But unfortunately, the film featured George Clooney who came out against Trump.  So, I put off listening to this song, until I saw the Carter version of it.  I know of June Carter- she married Johnny Cash!

Better Project 2025 Than Project 1619!

I consider this video to be iconic.  The sentiment expressed applies today, just as it did then.  No, we are not fighting the Soviet Union, we are dealing with the corruption in our government.  Reagan and Bush, had a tough job all those years ago.  Trump, has an even tougher job ahead if he wins in November.  I believe, if Trump wins, it will be a tough job, everyday the DemoKKKrats will try and start something.  Everyday will be an uphill battle, because of everything Trump represents.  Trump is trying to restore an America that we once knew, and together we can do this.  But its going to be a tough battle.  I believe Trump's supporters should get out into there precincts and run for office, to support the Trump agenda.  No office is to small.  But before we can do this, Trump must get elected!  Trump 2024!!
