My own life and my opinions are shared at When I was 69.

REMEMBER: In North America, the month of September 1752 was exceptionally short, skipping 11 days, when the Gregorian Calendar was adapted from the old Julian one, which didn't have leap year days.

Gummy's birthday

 It's my grandmother's birthday, Ada Pillips Swasey Rogers, in 1886. Photo of her in her wedding dress with her first son, Elmore. She gave birth to 6 children, 4 of whom lived to adulthood, including my father. Her grandchildren all called her Gummy. What a woman!

    What a beautiful dress and they look so happy. She was born in 1886?

Looking forward to hearing from you! If you leave your email or at least a blog connection, someone (or myself) might answer. If you are anonymous, I'm afraid you're talking to the wind.
