I am from the English and Irish breed; from pan-fried Idaho potatoes and steaming-hot Aunt Jamima yellow cornbread.
I am from a warm, cozy loving home, full of children running, screaming, laughing and playing from dawn to dusk and the smell of apple pie baking in the oven.
I am from Butterfly, Swamp, Bulk, and Common Milkweed that grow freely in fields.
I am from the fighting Irish Walls and traveling English Rumbolds; long live the queen of England.
I am from Charles’s many, stormy, sailing voyages to Mary Hasbrouck, Dunedin, New Zealand, Shang High, Hong Kong, China, just to name a few.
My crimson blood flows deep, within for wild adventures, many travels, and the love of history.
Salvation fills my soul with one true God.
I am from the Heart of Dixie, the birthplace of Helen Keller, home of Roll Tide, singing group Alabama, from Hawk Pride Mountain, and the catfish filled singing Tennessee River.
I am a devout Christian woman who would give you her last morsel, and a grandfather who loved the spirit of the drink.
Stored away in my attic are memories of letters, and pictures filled with hot cotton fields, raging ocean waves, smoke-filled mountaintops, and the deep love of family.
What a life!
