How do YOU want to be remembered?

I recently read a published article that asked this question.

Since I have been reviewing copious writings in the form of letters, journals and unpublished short stories, belonging to my family as far back as my great grandfather, an artist and author, I have realized that this is something worth discussing, through my blog.

How do you wish to be remembered - and why? Do you wish to leave a legacy for children and grandchildren ~ or ~ to make a statement to the world at large?

If you are concerned about the impression you leave with others, this is a thought for you.

"Don't worry about your reputation. Reputation is based on opinion ~ how others judge you based on their ideals, prejudices and self-esteem."

Worry more about your CHARACTER... and that's a whole other subject.

SO, please, share your thoughts with me - how do you wish, hope, yearn to be remembered, and by whom.

My response will undoubtedly be related to my posterity - that's all I'll say for now.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO ALL OF YOU DADS!!!

Tomorrow is ANOTHER Sunday ~ coming up on us!!

It is the day we pay honor and tribute to our DADS, if they are still living, and a family get together day for the Taylor~Baker~Bingham families.

We look forward to having 3 of the CA Taylor/sons/dads for a roast lamb dinner. The dads in our family are AWESOME in every way!!

Don't ever kid yourself - Poppy loves his kids & grandkids; he enjoys having them around to help him celebrate being a GRAND granddad.

To those of you who took the time to send him a card - (and/or Target gift cards) - BLESS your hearts. He thanks each of you when he shops at Target for all of his "essentials..." just in case you didn't know.

Moms get ready to cook for and spoil your men! Happy Father's Day to all.

I am an ESFP person!

If you really want to know what that means you'll have to go to Greg's blog to find out.

It should be sufficient to say that I am a "people" person who LOVES to talk!! Now who among you will be surprised to hear that?

I love people, excitement, telling stories (even though no one wants to listen) and having FUN!!!

I tend to THINK and TALK in a spider-web approach.

Bottom line - I'm happiest when I am spinning incoherently along ... covering the span of my conversation with impulsive pieces of information which I somehow manage to convey - eventually!

WOW... I think it's time to shut up...

TORY IS SEVENTEEN!!! AMAZING!!!

If anyone had told me 17 years ago that Tory was going to grow up so quickly, I wouldn't have believed them. I have seen other little blonds toddling around the house since she once did - and a brunette, too!

Tory at 18 months would bring me her puzzles to put together with her. I was allowed to hold the board while she quickly assembled the pieces. I remember being amazed at her fine motor skills!

Anyone acquainted with Tory will tell you she has a very delicate way about her and those skills are still very much in place.

Tory, you are a very special granddaughter and we each love you very much!!

xoxoxo Grammy, Poppy & Sydney, too...
