We are really going to be hot today, 92°F and it is already 73.4°. October and May are my favored months in South Central Kentucky. In Florida and Texas I liked January and February! In your area I liked October and June. May was a little cooler in Maryland than in Kentucky, of course in Maryland I was in the foothills of the mountains.
It is strange but the most lasting friendships that we made in new places were the six years we lived in Eldersburg, MD. We still communicate with them and still occasionally visit.
People in the more rural parts of Maryland are not much different than Kentuckians.
That's probably easy to explain. My family, for example, made the trek directly from the Frederick, Maryland area to the Paris, Kentucky area in the 1780s. A lot of their extended family remained behind and still live in Maryland and West Virginia -- there is even a tiny town named after them in WVA. I'm sure thousands of other families made the same journey, with relatives remaining behind in the east.

Good morning, D, read Acts 9.
Well home from Arkansas, had a great trip, good therapy. Not the best trip we've had, we couldn't fish the Norfork River, they weren't running any water, some parts of the Norfork you could walk across, so we fished the white river. I didn't take but one picture of a 15.5" Rainbow, all we caught was Rainbows, forgot, I did catch one Cutbow, cross between a Rainbow and a Cutthroat, better luck next year, GOD willing if HE decides to give me one more year! We still caught between 50-75 each a day, not going to complain!!!!
I can't go into detail, but we finally got an answer to our prayers after 11 months, some people are going to be held accountable for what happened, my son and his wife got a call yesterday.
Going to work on glass today and tomorrow, temps are supposed to be in the high 90's and humid, so going to work indoors. Got to make more Mrs. M said, because I have given too many away!!!!
I hope the D, has a great day and prayers for the d!!!!

Paw paws now in season if you can find them. Very short shelf life unfortunately.
Morning Legionnaires!
High 90's expected today with light winds. Same ole same ole.
Face timed with my 5 grandchildren last night at 6:15. They were extra talkative and energetic. 8-year-old girl, 6-year-old triplet boys, and a 5-year-old boy. They had all been to a local county fair on Saturday, so it was fresh in their minds. One of the triplets had taken second place with apples he took to show at the fair and was very happy with himself.
After about an hour facetiming my son (Marine for 4 years and spent time fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan) told us he has taught them the 5 basic safety rules for handling and shooting guns (keeps his locked up). He had them recite the rules and in unison they all did. It was impressive how well they had them down but, he does the same with Bible verses, The Pledge of Allegiance, and has them learning the Constitution and the Bill of rights. Moreover, his wife does. They are all home schooled by her and are learning things the right way. Their foundation is in the word of God so I know they will be raised correctly.
Thank You. You are on target. The religious fundamental foundations are necessary so the sciences can be understood in context of true history. When it comes to understanding the sciences, they were (are) best understood as the result of discernment of spiritual truth. Math, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Ecology and Economy. Neglect any of these at your own peril. Upon learning that I could best determine the nature of god by understanding the universe of life and this miracle of creation, I was hooked. Guess I'll always ponder as to why we're all here but I certainly appreciate my neighbors more when they are far away. I know I like the good decent folks here in the D.
You're looking at mountain medicine for cancer treatment. The very short shelf may be the result of enyme oxidation that could be addressed genetically. We already know how.Paw paws now in season if you can find them. Very short shelf life unfortunately.
I've posted in this thread before about civil war ancestry. And today I found out I am a descendant of a Civil war Confederate. (And possibly many more). William McGary Steenbergen enlisted in the 6th KY CSA CO. E. Part of the famous orphan brigade. His Father or grandfather was a language interrupter for George Washington during the American revolution.
''
When his regiment (6th Kentucky Infantry, Co. E) went into battle for the first time at Shiloh, Tennessee, William was among those wounded and left on the field for dead. Shot through the the body, he was removed to a field hospital where he lay for ten days before being sent as a prisoner to Evansville, Indiana. The doctors offered no hope for his recovery and his wound was pronounced "mortal", but to their surprise, after three months he was well enough to be moved to Camp Morton Prison.
In September of 1862, William Steenbergen was paroled and returned to his regiment although his wounds had left him unfit for field duty. Due to his poor physical condition, he was detailed as a surgeon's orderly for the next months. He was appointed Corporal in the spring of 1863.
After returning to active duty, William was again wounded, this time at the battle of Dallas, Georgia. His arm was badly hurt, making it impossible for him to load a weapon, but in spite of this injury, Cpl. Steenbergen returned to his company in time to take part in the battle of Jonesboro. He was said to have fired his rifle as fast as Lts. Terry and Holman were able to load it for him. At one point, when a loaded shell landed in the rifle pit beside him, Steenbergen tossed it out of the pit before it could explode, saving his own life and the lives of the men around him.''

Yeah, thats the man.Robert Pendleton Steenbergen

My wife's Ritter side of the family are from Frederick. They settled just north of the Green River.
They and my relatives killed the British and Shawnee's. We got really good at it.
By the time the War of 1812 came along the Kentuckians whipped the Brits. It was a big cost as 66% of the "American" deaths were from Kentucky. A bunch of them were in our family.

The other half fought for the Union.
That is the problem that has kept us awake for 150 years.
I haven't found any blue boys yet. I believe a relative may have rode with John Hunt Morgan's 2nd Dukes Cavalry. Need confirmation on it though.
Ha,
My folks come over on the Mayflower........................... in chains.......
Yeah, okay.... take a look...
Those are my Uncles and my Grandpa... (My Dad is the one in the upper left.) (This was five years before I was born.) I only remember meeting one uncle (In the middle Uncle Fred died when I was about 23 or so.) as all the others were killed or died prematurely. These boys were close to criminals if they weren't already. (My Dad was a seventh son.) (I do remember stories my brother and older cousins told me.) (Each one of those brothers had two boys and a girl.) (They had one sister. My Aunt Juanita had two boys and a girl as well. Amazing...)
Looking at my Grandpa I imagine his Dad and brothers were a bunch to deal with. (All lived mostly in Middlesboro)

They are white and the Mayflower were Puritans. They did not have slaves.
Sorry!
That's interesting stuff Bert. I don't know how specific your knowledge is of your wife's family in their Frederick days. But I can tell you my ancestors owned property along the Monocacy River just a few miles south of Frederick in the mid-to-late 18th century.
You need to study Kentucky history.
67% of Kentucky folks fought for the North. Two of my ancestors left the same day to go fight (their last name was Lee). One went North and the other went South. They both survived and came home to live a normal life as next door neighbors. One of them who fought for the South is my Great Grandfather. The other fought for an Illinois unit.
God will stand in judgement on their decisions.
The 6th was formed mainly from Warren, Barren and Edmonson Counties in Kentucky. That is where my families are from. I know this stuff and I have a library of books on the subject. In fact my folks wrote the books.
Yeah, we never seceded because we felt like the war was about preserving the union not ending slavery.
I don't know specifically where they lived or what they owned, just that they moved to Kentucky from Fredrick, MD.
Joseph Ritter (1776-1842). He was born in Maryland and died in Barren County Kentucky. Back in those days records were sparce and often got burned.
HAHA Slaves you kill me Sir. They were prisoners....rogues, nefarious types, criminals, vermin, degenerates, and...etc...
Sir you are too much with the comedy!! 😅 😅 😅 (Slaves would have been at least one step up if not a flight of stairs...up...)😅
My family tree has ah, uh,............termites... 😁
One of my ancestors was a prominent figure in the War of 1812. I share his name.
Back to the Mayflower I had four families on the Mayflower and joined the Mayflower Society through Elder William Brewster. Other Mayflower families in my ancestry line were William White, Francis Cooke and Richard Warren. William White had a son born on the Mayflower, Peregrine.
To be a member of the Mayflower Society you have to have your ducks in line. They verify everything to a T and a dotted i. Fortunately for me one of my cousins did all of the paper work and I just had to verify my grandmother and mother to be accepted. But it took hours and hours for the person who got all the documents together.
I belong to two other Heritage Groups, The Sons of the American Revolution and the Sons of Confederate Veterans. I have verified over 30 Confederate Veterans on both my mother and fathers side. I had one g-grandfather and 3 g-g-grandfathers who served in the Confederacy. No Yankees.
I joined the SAR under my 4th g-grandfather, John Alderman of the North Carolina Line. He was from my mother's side of the family. My father's side provided Joseph Adair from South Carolina. These Adair's produced a future governor of Kentucky and I joined the SCV through this family.
I enjoy participating in these Heritage Organizations we have strong ties and the same interests. You get inside information on some great American history which is not taught in schools or universities. It is up to the Heritage Groups to keep it alive. Unfortunately it is all fading away and will probably be lost in a generation or two. Or revised to something that is nothing but fiction.
This makes me think if I have some confederate family in VA, or in the deep south states.
I just got a call from Oscar thanking me for supporting the Big Blue. Nice guy. Yes, it was a recorded message.
This is not to be political but after reading a part of this should the great doctor be ....

Why do I not doubt that this is 100% accurate...

Once you start digging in your family history you will find all kinds of things. Mine started from an entry in a family Bible. In the Bible was a genealogy that went back several generations and by one name it had in parenthesis (served in the war). He was born in 1842 so it was evident what war. Since he was Southern I went to the Florida State Archives and searched his name. And went from there. I discovered he was in the Florida 5th Infantry. I found out all of his brothers served as did his 56 year old father. From there I find all of the male cousins and the list just kept growing.
I guess in 1861 if you were from the South and could walk you were in the military. Some of the stories were heartbreaking. One of my g-grandfathers had two sisters who married two brothers. Both boys were killed at the Battle of Sharpsburg in 1862, minutes apart. Their wives were 19 and 21 and had farms next to each other. One girl had a son and one girl had a daughter and a son. The wives never remarried and joined the land together and farmed it with the help of friends who pitched in. Half of their property was taken by the U.S. government during Reconstruction and they came close to starving to death several times. But they kept going and both lived into their 80's. When they died they had very large estates and the family still owns much of the land to this day.
Have fun. The information is there if a person wants to dig for it.
Yeah. Just gotta find the last names related to you.
That right. There are pretty good records of the Soldiers who fought in the American Revolution and WBTS. I went to the State Archives and took about a week digging through records and making copies of records. There was a lot of information on Pension Records that was pure gold in my research. Plus records and books on the Regiments and Units. It was fun, especially if you are doing research with a friend or family member. It cuts down on the time.
A good thing for me was the records kept by my family, especially my mother and her family. They were pretty educated in comparison to my dad's side. They kept letters, manuscripts, etc. His side wrote it in a Bible but there was only one Bible. So you had to find out who had the Bible.
Never looked into heritage, but my surname is the fourth largest group of Irish immigrants. I suspect they came over to escape the famine, as indentured servants or as prisoners. About 75% of Irish fought for the north. My grandmother on dads side was half Choctaw. Choctaw fought with the south, so I imagine my relatives fought for both sides.
Speaking of pizza. There has to be a point of diminishing returns right?Good morning from ATX. Currently 77°F and clear with periodic clouds. Today's high expected around 97°F.
Local talk radio described a recent crime spree hitting Austin yesterday. Couple guys will stalk someone withdrawing money from back teller and rob them. Happened again yesterday. Lady called in and reported another hit about an hour after crime occurred. Folks are losing $2-4,000 or so at a time.
Co-worker totaled her SUV over the weekend. She's shaken up, but okay.
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

My favorite fruit for sure but I will stick with the Costco cheese pizza or the little Caesars large carry out....
I couldn't enjoy a pizza for that dough even if someone else was paying....
The fact that we have to tell people this is sad.
And I was told Yuengling batter chicken was stupid..... sigh...
Nyquil is my secret pasta sauce ingredient.
So soothing it almost makes you sleep.... I bet it is amazing...
