First Day of Spring 2018

Newsflash: I will gradually be switching all of my photographs and postings from Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to this blog. I think that as time goes on, I will have more control over my blog and what goes in and comes out than that of Facebook--and Facebook is so addictive, that one can spend way too much time on it checking it just to see what folks are doing--if we spent half as much time in prayer that we all seem to do on Facebook--just think of what a difference we could make in this world!
If you have a Google account, you should have no problem accessing my blog--if you don't, I hope you'll consider getting one so you can follow me on the blog.
You know how we all get spring fever and start anew--the first day of Spring--well, this is my something new, I think. Blogging benefits me--in many different ways--it is quite freeing to be able to blog about things I am interested in--without having the issue of someone in Facebook land get offended.
So, as I relearn the basics of blogging, and yearn for milder temperatures--and all things blooming--I am thankful for the opportunity to get back to who I am--writing, and photographing and publishing some family history--I have come to a very certain realization here lately--that I now am in the Senior brackets of our family! There are more younger than me these days! Ha!

Recently I have been working on the Northcutt side of our Beasley family--this is a photograph of Thirza Northcutt Beasley and also one of her headstone--which is in the Brown-Beasley Family Cemetery in Brownville, Conecuh, AL. I sure wish I could have known this lady--she looks so stern here--she was born in Darlington District SC and died in Conecuh County AL  Her grandson, Charles Samuel "Charlie" Beasley would be my Granddaddy Beasley who I dearly loved.
