Black Sheep Sunday

 Thank goodness Not my relative

I found this in a 1865 Washington DC directory

 Farwell, Levi "Huckster" living at 22 13 1/2 st, is that what they use to call a Politian or lobbyist? He actually was a murderer and committed suicide at the age of 36

The Black Sheep's Niece

Prompt 1

Who I am, still not sure but it’s taken me 72 years to get here, I’ve been a daughter, a princess, a wife,  a mother,  a nana,  a queen, a mistress, a lover, a dreamer, a winner and sometimes a failure.  I never did the things I meant to do write a book, set up a website or write a blog, (oops am I doing that today) sing a song, stay up all night with a friend in need, go to a candlelight vigil, send condolence cards, say a prayer for someone every day, or write a letter to someone every week, nor have I ever put flowers on my parents grave. I’m a certified snoop love the reading of old newspapers, I’m  always asking questions many times it’s none of my business but I really, really want to know what makes people tick. Maybe I’ll find out way I don’t tick like other people.  I’m the eldest of 3 girls, poor pop.

Prompt 2

I was born in Grant Nebraska, I’ve always told people it was 4 blocks long and 4 blocks wide but I suspect it was a little larger, I was born at home in the front bedroom or it could have been the bedroom next to that, since there was only 2 bedrooms it had to be one or the other. Not for sure who was there other than my mom and me, probably Dr Bell but I’m only  assuming that since he signed my birth certificate. I have a cool baby book with names of grandparents, aunts and uncles, great aunts and uncles and lots of neighbors.  I must have been precious they kept coming back with more presents. Thank goodness for my Aunt Mary she started my baby book and kept it up, because my mother never did do it for us 3 girls.

Alive, well and procrastinating at it's best
