Without a Paddle or an Oar, Billy-boy?

July 27, 2018February 26, 20234 Comments

The prompt for Week 30 of 52 Ancestors is Colorful. William Longstreet led quite a colorful life.

The topic for 52 Ancestors this week is Heirloom. I've been lucky enough to have inherited a few things from my ancestors, either because no one else wanted them or they were gifts from my aunts or parents: a desk that my great-great-grandfather owned, jewelry and jewelry boxes from my both my grandmothers, handkerchiefs and painted … Continue reading The China Cabinet
