Can't wait for the story about your great grandparents. :)Jacquie Rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17361793932364487636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152821032321828999.post-15418795189518557822012-05-05T13:11:33.727-07:002012-05-05T13:11:33.727-07:00You're welcome, Mesadallas.

Hitler borrowed the symbol from the Hindu because it means "good luck." I have seen the same symbol on rock paintings made by Native Americans but I didn't know what it stood for. Thank you! I learned something new today!mesadallashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07748676076942503486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152821032321828999.post-2735861140272594512012-05-03T17:54:41.395-07:002012-05-03T17:54:41.395-07:00Thanks so much everyone and Ginger, I feel the sam...Thanks so much everyone and Ginger, I feel the same about your writing.

I hope you write it someday. I have a couple of old quilts I treasure that were sewn by my grandmother. A love for quilting is something I have in common with her. I plan to touch on that in a future post. Thanks for sharing your family history.Devon Matthewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12147639030654251761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152821032321828999.post-5213503907304452512012-05-03T08:04:42.836-07:002012-05-03T08:04:42.836-07:00Fun post about your family and a great segue into ...Fun post about your family and a great segue into the book you're working on.

I've found, with the help of various relatives, some wonderful stories that will fuel my fiction. Plus, I enjoy genealogy--not the dates people were born and died, although that's interesting, but the details I discover about their lives.Thanks for a nice reminder today.Caroline Clemmonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14914658854159456335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152821032321828999.post-63879321820299298602012-05-03T05:52:13.882-07:002012-05-03T05:52:13.882-07:00Thanks for sharing a bit of your family history, C...Thanks for sharing a bit of your family history, Ciara.
