Our Final Move
After six years in Georgia, we will be making a final move to Charlestown Retirement Community in Catonsville, MD. Catonsville is the next town to Baltimore and the borders touch.

Where We Come From
We are sitting in the Genealogy Archives at the Washington Memorial Library in Macon. It is our first visit after hearing about the great resources at the last meeting of the Central Georgia Genealogical Society. The building was completed in 1923 but dedicated two years later when they had enough money for the furnishings. It…

April Travels
April seems to be flying back. First, I attended the state convention of AAUW Georgia the first weekend.

What a very long time to be married. My…

Bare Bulb Coffee
Everyone needs to have a hangout. Some have a favorite bar, restaurant or coffee shop. The locally owned coffee shops closed over the past two years so I had no place to go. Starbucks doesn’t do it for me. Besides, it was too far away. But with the new Bare Bulb Cafe I have found…
