Women that behave seldom make history.

Thank you to everyone that will be taking the time to read this blog.

You know someone once said "Women that behave seldom make history". My Grandma Fouts certainly did not follow any one's path. She was a good woman that did not behave as others in her generation did, as pretty much all the strong women in my family. I'm proud of them all.

My Grandparents probably had only a 6th or 8th grade education, they managed to maintain an above average life style by working hard, saving, flipping homes - selling them on land contracts earning interest. I think at one time they may have had 6 homes, maybe more. They also made money raising and selling cows, butter, chickens, eggs, corn, asparagus, raspberries, cherries, cucumbers, sweetcorn, flowers, rabbits and who knows what else.

Yet, they lived good, they never went without. They had nice clothes, nice cars, beautiful homes, televisions, modern appliances, and good food. They were also caring and sharing people.

They were members of the Church of the Brethren, baptised there, but they just really really believed in God. Period.

I didn't know when I started this blog, that I would find myself saying hello and then sadly goodbye again to Grandma, Grandpa, as well as my Mother, Father, Brother, Sister, Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins.

I want to invite anyone that has questions to contact me, this is "our" family and I have old photos and other information you may be interested in sharing. So please contact me at Pocofish@aol.com.

I also have the "Gimbel Family Tree" in Ancestry.com as with any of this, you are welcome to check it out and use the information that you need. I will continue to update and add, I just made a major correction this morning, so I am learning constantly and value input from others. I will also be adding more photos, soon.

Thank you again.
