Well, here begins a new journey for the Davis family! We are up and running on the web! I have turned this thought over and over in my head many times before, to start a blog or not to start a blog. I didn't like the idea of always having to tend to somthing other than my two little ones and the already busy life that we lead. But after considering what a great mode of communication this could be for our family I thought this would be the best time. We would like to use this as a means for communication about the upcoming reunion as well as posting any other exciting information and prayer requests. Facebook has really seemed to bridge the gap between reunions but I would love to a have a place that is just for us. A place to share exciting news, a place to express thanksgiving and a place to share in each others burdens. Keep in mind that I am still learning all of the ins and outs of a blog and we are still trying to figure out how to get your info on the blog. So be patient as we play this by ear.
So...the rest of the story? We went through many ideas for the title of this blog and came up with one of Grandpa's favorites, no not the one you're thinking of, " The S-T-U-P-I-D Blog" but a saying by good ol Paul Harvey! So here begins the rest of the story...
As one of Aubrey's Sons I heard the word stupid many times as follows. "S-T-U-G-H-P-I-D".
ReplyDeleteOct 25 is Gpa Davis' B-Day so a good time to honor the Davis family name. The Rest Of The Story sounds good!

It all began when two people fell in love …..The two became one in 1933 and their family began to grow. Today that number stands at an amazing 70!
ReplyDeleteLets see if I can put all of their first names in this blog:(not necessarily in the right order) Aubrey Ella Eulala Arvin Arden Rolland Curtis John Janice Norma Shirley Lesa Kevin Jonna Karl Yvonne Rebecca Douglas Shari Jennifer Sandra Cathleen Teresa Kent Rhonda Jeffrey Jason Ann Terry David Joel Wayne Larry Leticia Benjamin Nathan Kylan Mallory Brittnee Quincy Tia Dalton Megan Hunter Kendra Kiana Darian Emily Hayden Karissa Shayla Alyssa Harrison Brayden Keegan Alexus Rachel Kirsten Hannah Aubrey Sophie Brady Addison Aiden Parker Dustin Leni Kama Phoenix Harper and …the rest is still unwritten! Break it down…4 children turned into 12 grandchildren and 32 great grandchildren and 3 great, greats!! (so far) ;) All because two people fell in love…..
I already have another name to add to the above blog Tom (Brittnee's new husband)
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone else remember burning their feet on Grandpa and Grandma's tin lid that covered the well in the yard out at the farm by Davis Creek?
ReplyDeleteI remember that I stepped on it when it was super hot one summer day. I also remember someone burnt their feet pretty bad? Does anyone remember who it was? Maybe Shari? when she was just a little tot? Not positive. Some of you cousins were too young to remember this!!! ;) Email me if you can help me with my fading memory...lol
I do not remeber Shari doing that but I do remember we had to watch for it
