Owen-Blodgett

This week Moms cousin, Ora came to town with a few old photos.

Ora is the daughter of Albert Owen, Grandma Junes older brother.

She gave me this photo. A fine looking and proud man of Indian heritage.

Back in the early 1900's men would go from town to town taking photos and print then on post cards for folks to send to loved ones far away.

It looks as if Mr D. Blodgett was going to send them to a Mary Blodgett and one to my Great Grandmother, Annie Blodgett Owen. (Ora had two of these).

Ora said that she was given these from Annie's things after she passed away but knew nothing more.

Another mystery,
Another story to discover.

Football Season's Over

                                            A 2 win season didn't make it a bad one.

                               The season started with the same hope that all teams have.........

                                         With hard work and effort we'll see this through.......

 

I watched him scrap and push and shove and fight for his team.

I watched him play with no fear......

                                           I've watched him take charge and lead the charge......

                               I've watched him play in horrid conditions and never a complaint........

   I've watched him carry tacklers 2-3 extra yards because his heart doesn't no the word quit.....

                                                    I've watched him take some hits....

                              And I've cringed as a parent watching him take a big hit......

                     And then watched with pride as he badgered his coach to get back in the game.....

 

  I've watched him laugh and joke and congratulate his teammates.... 

                                             But most of all, I've watched my son have fun.

                                                           Grandpa would be proud!
