The Count Down Has Begun

Well here we are into August already, I'am sure some of the parents have the countdown thing going on and getting ready for another school year to start, The kid's are grumping about how the summer flew and we are bored wow sounds so familiar of my son we he had to go back now he is out of school for some few years now be in the Marine Corps and home for good, Now my grandson's complain about going back to school but we tell what would you do if you had to all year around I know what some of the parents would do they would jump up and down and dance you think they really would, Cause I know when my son went back to school it was sorta of my time to relax and enjoy but then it can get a little boring but in a nutshell its good to see the days of school starting we only no that winter is knocking on our door, Good luck kids in your new school year enjoy!

My Great Grandma Anna & Coming to America

Great Grandma Anna came to America July 11,1911 from Germany to America On the Ship SS Rhein she came to America with 3 young girls and 2 young boys, coming to a strange land they had never been before I can only wonder how scared they may have been not knowing what to expect the uncertainty... Coming to what would be for them a strange land of America and not alot of people that spoke German how hard was it for Great Grandma and her children to adjust and to make there way in the new land of uncertainty, As I learn more about my family I will share stories on here, as well as pictures ans anything else that I may think might be of interest to post on here.
I have to thank my Great Grandma Anna for coming to American because if wouldn't have came my Grandma Minna & Grandpa Max would have never married and had the family they did and my pop would have never been born. I may have never my Grandma Anna,I gotten to know her thru my family's help and research

Well I can't help myself what can I say I love this ole pictures.. this is my pop and he is the star of the day!
