and Grandma Moffat has a turn too... for those from the Snethen family.. Mom is Elinore Mae Snethen Siegrist Moffat! She is the daughter of Maude Clifton Snethen and grand daughter of James Bartlett Snethen. She is holding her first Great Granddaughter Kaitlyn Brooke Moffat of Roff, OK., daughter of Jonathan and Randi Moffat. Jonathan is Elinore's Grandson and son of Stan. Sorry to be redundant, but lots of new family looking in and wanted to share who is who with them too.

Lookie here who come to visit yesterday... oh my goodness, she is a sweetie! Grandma and I and all our family got together to visit with Kaitlyn and her Mom and Dad! What a deal to have a family that can all get together on such short notice, for such an important lady!! Our thanks to all, and to the cooks who made the noon meal special by cooking out!!

Clipping of the Day
Clipping of the Day
From the Freeborn County Standard (Albert Lea, Minnesota), 15 November 1877, page 2:
A million and fifty-five thousand men are reported to be on the military register of the German government. Of this number 398,000 are upon the so-called black list, for not having served, including 190,000 who have left the country to avoid serving. It is estimated that one German in every eight expatriates himself to avoid military service.

One of my most favortie poems...
Thought for Today
A Stumbling Block or a Stepping Stone
Isn't it strange that Princes and Kings
And clowns who caper in stardust rings,
And common people like you and me
Are builders for eternity?
Each is given a set of tools,
A shapeless mass, and a book of rules,
And each must make, ere life has flown,
A stumbling block or a stepping stone.
--R. L. Sharpe
