Yesterday Was Tuesday October 12 and Today Is Wednesday October 13 2021, This Is What Happen.

 Yesterday I start to type out post, and accidently took out draft. So I'm ending up starting over. I was mainly focus one of my Great Grandpa, Theodore Miller. As I said on my dad side there his, her, and their kids. I don't have full 1st cousin on my dad side. Their half and step. But I consider them my cousins. My grandma on my dad side was adopted. Her biological parents were Irving Miller and Emma Trefry. They were both deaf and she had twin girls Emma and Jessica, their mother died shortly after childbirth. The girls end up being adopted. My grandma name was some reason change to Elsie when she was adopted.

Here is 10 fun and trivial facts about Theodore Miller.

1. He was born in THREE RIVER MICHIGAN

2. His parents were Lewis Miller and Mary Ann Fulkerson

3. Looks like he had 1 sister Mary Jane, and 2 brothers James B and Lewis Morris. He was the 3rd child born. Also he had half brother Charles Perry. His mom died and his dad remarried.

4. He was member of ANTIQUARIAN SOCIETY. Not sure of what chapter, but I'm sure it was in local area of Jackson Michigan.

5. He was Machinist for the MICHIGAN CENTRAL RAILROAD. What I been told him and his wife rent rooms. And my Grandfather Clarence rent a room from them.

6. The name "Theodore" mean gift of god. There been all sorts of Theodore though out time. Here is little quiz on name THEODORE I got 26 out 171, a 15%. But I did better than 86%

7. The surname "Miller" means Grain Grinder. The name came from several countries England, Germany, Scotland, and Ireland. They had different spells Muller, Meller, and Mueller. In United States it 7th most popular surname.

8. He got married on Feb 27 1873 to Sarah Keyport in Three River Michigan.

9. He worked 43 and 1/2 years for Michigan Central Railroad. 

10. He died shortly after retirement at age 70 and is buried at Riverside Cemetery, in Three River Cemetery

Confession time...I find it sad work hard of your life and die.  


Our local quilt club at a MYSTERY QUILT project and here is two of the entries. Sure look different when come to these quilt. I like barn and tree one the best. 

Now it Wednesday and I will continue this blog post. Tuesday Is day I usually hit little heavier on my well being. I told you had felt yukie. Well I went in and had covid test. I'm postive for covid. So glad I got vaccinated. To me it feels like the common cold. I have a good ideal where I caught it from. Thursday I was over at Liz, and her grandson had a running nose. Than his mom was sick on Friday and took time off of work. None of them been vaccinated. Plus for population my area numbers aren't all that good. yesterday we had 87 positive cases and 39.48% of our area has a positive covid out come. And only 28.9% is fully vaccinated. So I'm following the CDC guide line.   

My letter is "T" and word is "Teachable" first thing I don't take to much heart to saying "You can't teach and ole dog new tricks" I believe people choose to be non teachable, by being arrogant, not seeing or hearing those who looks at world differently than one self. I look at learning a joyfully experience.

On Wednesday I like to do a story using JOURNAL BUDDIES 

I'm using NUMBER 27 for challenge and see what sort of story I can come up with. 

First of all living area where snow happens. I been a few snowball fight, and I don't know how to honestly tell if someone or team wins or looses. First of all let talk about hand protection and keeping one had warm. Snow is cold. First of all ones needs cotton or wool gloves on. But snow stick to them. I than recommend a vinyl glove over, so snow won't stick. Next thing is winter boots you won't slip and fall on ice. Yes over the years I took plenty of falls on ice. Now as I age it hurts a lot worst than when I kid. gather up the snow and pack it into a ball. About size of baseball which is about 3 inches. I would say nothing over 6 inches. Should be able to be threw with one hand. The person or team who get hit with less snowballs win. When I was younger snowball fighting was a blast. Now it would be complete different story. I have no advice or secrets on how to win a snowball fight.

Who know how the font and photo will line up. I have different way of doing my blog tomorrow.  Plus yesterday I got watch a show about galaxy on public television. s 

Coffee is on and stay safe

  2. Covid!! So sorry you caught it, but glad that you are vaccinated. I'd like to resume getting massages from my across-the-street neighbor, who is a licensed massage therapist. Even though she's vaccinated, I'm not sure about her other clients, so I hesitate, because I have a chronic lung disease. I'm vaccinated, but I don't want to mess around with Covid.
    BTW, my great grandfather's name is William Miller. He was German, so the spelling was probably anglicized at some point. There must be thousands of Millers in the USA

  3. Wow after you have been so sensible you go and get Covid - I'm glad your vaccine is protecting you from the more serious effects though and hope you will soon be well - so no work for you but I hope you might even be able to enjoy a little bit of time for yourself even if it is for recuperation.

  9. Interesting family facts. They say if you don't have a retirement plan, you don't live 18 months. I have lots of plans and a while to go yet!

  10. You are lucky you can delve into your family history. My parents are immigrants from Greece and as I can’t read Greek it’s really hard to try and go back through the generations.
    I’m so glad your fully vaccinated it means you will get well and you won’t need hospitalisation. I hope you feel better soon

  11. Sorry to hear you are positive for Covid but glad you had the vaccinations, so you won't get really ill, like you said just a really bad cold. But you can pass it on, so stay home until it is over, okay?

  13. Family tree can be interesting if one can trace all the family members where about. So sorry you got covid. Since you have been vaccinated, your recovery will be fast. The number of cases in our area is still cause of worry and we have to be careful by wearing mask and no visiting. Both are beautiful quilts.

  15. Miller in German is Mueller and also the most commun name in the country. To get the people vaccinated, you are not allowed to go into a restaurant or bar or whatever if you don't have your vaccin certificate. All not vaccinated people can't go out !!
