Not Me! Monday - Did I do that?




Who in the world would cut the center cinnamon roll out of the pan?
Not Me.... Of course I did.

We had to sample my sister-in-law Clara's warm cinnamon rolls. We definitely had to make sure that they were fit others in our family to eat.

I did not give my family something to talk about at the family gathering on Saturday.
OF course I did! My sister-in-law, Anna and I shared the center cinnamon roll.

NO, we were not kissing, We were sampling Clara's cinnamon rolls.




I did not hollar "Artery clogger" when I saw my brother Abe (Abraham) get his biscuits and gravy. (After all I can't speak out loud so I'm sure he didn't hear me). But, yes, I did say it. (Later when he went back for seconds he broke his plate) Was the plate weak or did he load it too full?


I did not stop my sister, Martha as she wanted to leave and made her take a picture with me. Of course I did here's proof.




And I didn't sneak downstairs and take a photo of the picture on the wall of when I was much,much younger with my family. You got it, I most certainly did.


Oh,look Martha wasn't born yet when this one was taken. But,Mother must have been pregnant with her. Looks Like I might have been about 4 years old at the time.
So it was probably the summer of 1953 when this was taken. This one was taken at Turkey Run State Park.

I can't wait to get the last family picture taken. Brandon has it on his smugmug site and I ordered one of my own. It had to be the last one taken. Since we all decided it was taken when Mom and Dad lived in Tuscola. And it had to be just before Dad got so sick with his strokes, cause he looks pretty good in the picture.


Oh, yes, someone ask me how many siblings I have. Years ago, Kimberly would have told you too many, because she had trouble with their names and who was who.
Sovilla, came first then there were 6 boys before I came along. Then 4 years later, Martha came.

Kim used to and probably still does- associate my nieces and nephews with their fathers so she could remember who was who.
Edward, Albert, John, Levi, Abraham and Daniel. Whenever dad went places and took the boys he always had a whole row of them. So, I guess you could say that there were nine of us total. Two of which have gone ahead of us to heaven, along with Mom and Dad, a sister-in-law and niece.

Come to think of it, I didn't get a photo of my brother, Levi this Christmas.How did I miss that? Double checked- I did get a 1/2 face picture of him. ha. I did however,catch our cousin Ida in a shot. I didn't do that on purpose--I wouldn't do that would I? Of course I did.

I did not get this all ready on Sunday night because I figured Monday would be much too busy for me. I most certainly did, it is very cold out there. I'll have to deal with all the little old ladies who have no heat, plus if my voice doesn't come back, they will have problems understanding my whispers. So, I am sure it promises to be a very, very challenging Monday for me. Hope the fellows don't have too many bids in the morning, they may have to help answer phones.

Yes I still associate cousins to the uncle that they "belong" to in order to keep everyone straight. However, I still have a few mix ups and some difficulty with the two uncles I never saw much of growing up. Looks like you had a great time! Love ya!
