EJI Legacy Museum & National Memorial (Part 1)




The Equal Justice Initiative (EJI) Legacy Museum & National Memorial For Peace & Justice finally opened on April 26, 2018 in Montgomery, AL. For those who are interested, you are invited to click on the image to visit the website for more information. Further, you are encouraged to click on the text link underneath the image to read an interesting article following the opening of the same.

For the record, I read the article and feel that the insensitive comments of the Alabama residents who take offense to the museum and memorial are typical of people who have a racist mindset. The comments are all spoken like someone who never had a loved one dragged off in the middle of the night and hung from a tree--and, many times, because of a lie that was told against the victim or no justifiable reason at all.

As far as this blogger is concerned, I think you know what they can do with their comments and they really need to get over themselves. The museum and memorial are open, period. Deal with it... just like the families of all the victims had to deal with never seeing their loved ones alive again. Unbelieveable!

Thank You, James!




During his CNN interview, James talked about his injuries, like the burns he received from grabbing the rifle, but didn't realize it because he was in the moment. He inquired about the other hospitalized victims and visited them. He is an extraordinary young man and a hero who did what he had to do to save the lives of others and himself because he has a lot to live for too. He didn't have to do what he did, but God is good. He had his back through the struggle and may He continue to bless him in the days to come as he recovers...

Repost as a reminder if you are a caregiver for a loved one or know someone who has it and can no longer tell you what they need, then just do what it says...

Birthday Get Together For My Mom



Happy Birthday Mom!


Happy Birthday Pumpkin Pie!


While we were celebrating my mom's birthday, my grandson demonstrated his recently acquired skill with Rubik's Cube for his mom. He said he studied it and figured out the algorithm. When RC first appeared many years ago, it took me two agonizing months to solve it and I kept it--but, I never touched it again because it actually gave me a headache. At the time, I didn't know an algorithm from a hole in the wall, but my grandson does and he can solve it in 1.5 minutes!
