I hope you enjoy looking at some of the many (in fact too many)magazines I have collected through the years. I have a habit of picking up old reading material because I am interested in the people who lived before me. I am interested in knowing what the lives of my ancestors were like. Sometimes it is unreal to me that some one came before me years past and I have no knowledge of their lives. That is the reason I have some of my great aunt's old letters and magazines and my grand parent's newspapers and letters. I have even kept my own old magazines and comic books.
Some time in my great aunt's life she sat in her half dugout in West Texas and read by a warm mesquite fire the same magazines that I read today. My great aunt's life was a world of sorrow. I will tell you more about her as I go on with this blog. I haven't got time now. I have my one and half year old grandson in my lap while I am writing this and he needs tending. My grandkids are the next generation. Each new generation should be loved and pampered and taught that a family is the greatest and most precious thing a person can have. As I write about this I am thinking of my Great Aunt alone in her dugout reading her magazines and in sorrow. May God bless her spirit in heaven.
