Have You Seen This One?

What a wonderful surprise to open up facebook and find a picture of your Grandparents that you had not seen before.  God bless that incredible Aunt Josephine who took a million pictures in the 1940's and '50s and then so generously copied and shared them for many years with all of us nieces and nephews.

At this moment I do not know the date.





Two cousins confirm the location - /Atlanta/Aunt Josephine's home

    Jonell,

    I ventured in from Debbi's porch, through that little intriguing picture and caption about finding a picture of your grandparents on Facebook. I found a dear older relative a few years ago, when I found a picture that I had taken myself, as a teen, at a gathering in the Fifties in my Mammaw's front yard. It was of her and her eight eiblings, at the housewarming when she and Grandpa moved into their new little PINK HOUSE, built on the site of their tee-ninecy first little shotgun house, in a small town in Mississippi. I've since had a wonderful time corresponding with dear unknown Cousin, who has the same name as me

    And then i was captivated by your next post, about family and findings, and I'm looking forward to returning to delve into all your lovely archives.

    Your newest follower,

BLOG RENOVATION-my excuse for unfinished housekeeping

-[I have to enter something here or it won't "save"]

A Note From Me

I am so glad you stopped by-whether accidental or intentional. Some days my posts will be entirely inspirational and other times quite random but the time we share can be worthwhile. My initial intent was to use this space for my Mobley Family notes { james n mobley line } I know one can only write when inspired to do so. With that in mind I caution you to expect various twists and turns in the conversation as we wander Down the Lane and Around the Curve. If you have a clue what a Lane is then you already know that a walk down the lane can be a solitary walk, ambling without the company of another or it can simply be a leisure experience with someone who's company you enjoy, working out the world's problems or just soaking up nature and God's spectacular creation surrounding you. There is enjoyment either way. I say all that to say this: "Our walk down the lane will be much more interesting if you come along with me from time to time. I am not the only one with something to share so please join in as you are motivated or inspired.
Please know that I have not abandoned my first blog Down the Lane. I still drop in to read comments and check my tracker to see who's reading or even if there might be a new Follower. I have noticed when I check the traffic on Like Gramma's House and come over to DTL I am seeing apparently the same visitors are checking in on both sights..based on the city and state and time frame of the visitors..That's Great! Thank you faithful few who are inquisitive enough to click on the links and come over. Let me explain ...in case you have missed it earlier: This is my original blog. At a point in the process of this project I began to drift in a new direction creatively and hence Like Gramma's House was birthed. By way of continued explanation for what looks like an orphaned blog here..I simply have not come up with a way, an idea for either following through with Down the Lane or closing it out. One cannot write without inspiration. I just don't have a clue where to go with this one. The only glimmer of a creative twist I have is to invite my cousins to contribute to the family stories, pictures with their own quirky takes... looking back Down the Lane.There has been no encouragement leading me to think they would pitch in. They all have wonderful memories to share.. and I am confident it would be worth while. Apparently just don't think what they have to share would be blog worthy.


My Gramma's House~


Time changes so many things. Loved ones are no longer here. Landmarks dissappear from the landscape. Entire communities are seemingly erased. Homes have burned leaving scarcely a footprint in the earth where they once stood. Even so, we still refer back to things 'the way they once were' as being ~Like Gramma's House~ http://mygrammashouse.blogspot.com/
