I'm impressed that you know so much of your family history. I wish someone in our family would get the genetic bug...maybe it will be me one day...for right now, the whole idea of it overwhelms me. I miss seeing you since I haven't been able to make our gatherings. It's a busy time as Jack is applying to colleges. Hopefully I'll see you in November.

Is the little girl a picture of you? I couldn't remember. Looking forward to the Fourth of July block. I have a whole red, white and blue collection box that you can dig through next time you're here to see if I have something that might work. I wouldn't worry too much whether the blocks go together. Who knows, they might become something completely different by the time you finish. Thanks for posting them.

After all the hard work of feminists in the 1960's - 1980's (I fought a few of those battles myself), it almost seems like young women take it all for granted nowadays, while older women are rejecting feminist ideas.
