I love you,

Mom always said I was 2 1/2, but Grandma Wonsey had 3 years on the back of the picture. This was taken a Grandma's house in Kalkaska, Michigan. The doll was a stuffed toy with a plastic face. I remember when the face began to crack and there was no way to fix it. I was heartbroken.Georgia Cameronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01689704606206426042noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3737214823606332700.post-9493957759996714712011-02-17T13:33:00.000-08:002011-02-17T13:33:55.344-08:00One new addition to our family--<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-KmH8IUFH8hg/TV2P1UiG-AI/AAAAAAAAAKI/LPqkUA6vnvI/s1600/041.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" j6="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-KmH8IUFH8hg/TV2P1UiG-AI/AAAAAAAAAKI/LPqkUA6vnvI/s320/041.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>This is Senorita, Sindy for short.

Shame on me! So many things have been going on and I just have not had the time to do any research. So hopefully I can get started again. I miss doing my genealogy big time! In the last few weeks I have come across new cousins and grandparents. One cousin was able to post pictures of my mother's grandpa. I also found out that the 21st governor of California, George Cooper Pardee, was an uncle to my husband. I was so exited to put names with faces. It makes this so much more fun when a face goes along with a name.<br />
This picture is of Governor Pardee with President Roosevelt.Georgia Cameronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01689704606206426042noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3737214823606332700.post-88162572916146221112010-06-28T07:01:00.000-07:002010-06-28T07:06:05.928-07:00Family and friend reunion The last Saturday of June each year is our family/friend reunion. Since we really don't very many family members we started asking neighbors and friends. This year friends brought friends! The count totaled 72. We have had between 12 (first year) and 88 come in the last six years.<br />
One of the neatest things about this year was that I met a cousin through Ancestry.com. He lives about an hour and a half from us. He and his wife came to the picnic! I met a cousin for the first time! We shared family info and pictures he had brought. I was on cloud nine all day.<br />
Also my sister was able to attend. I have not seen her for three years since our father's funeral. Her husband has been in the Army as a Chaplin. He just retired in December. Now maybe they can visit more often.<br />
Many photos were taken, games played, and relaxation galore. It was a truly sensational Saturday.Georgia Cameronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01689704606206426042noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3737214823606332700.post-21711533071662253882010-06-14T19:23:00.000-07:002010-06-14T19:23:36.780-07:00New cousinsToday I call Marvelous Monday.

He also worked as a tool and dye maker but that is not how I remember him. My first memories were of him off the farm in Royal Oak and <span class="goog-spellcheck-word" style="background: yellow;">Farmington</span>, Michigan working in a shop in Detroit. Memories of Dad in <span class="goog-spellcheck-word" style="background: yellow;">Farmington</span> are of him developing pictures in his darkroom(aka bathroom).<br />
From there we moved to a dairy farm in <span class="goog-spellcheck-word" style="background: yellow;">Williamston</span>, Michigan where Dad was the f<span class="goog-spellcheck-word" style="background: yellow;">oreman</span>. I "helped" in the barn whenever aloud following him all over while getting under foot. Dad started raising Angus cattle there and when we moved to our own <span class="goog-spellcheck-word" style="background: yellow;">fourty</span>-seven acre farm in Mason, Michigan, the cows went with us. Though Dad now worked in the shop again I still thought of him as a farmer. After a few years the cows where sold and Dad started raising chinchillas. Two or three years of that and they also were sold off.<br />
After twenty-five years on the "farm" Dad and Mom moved to <span class="goog-spellcheck-word" style="background: yellow;">Rosman</span>, North Carolina. There they stayed for fifteen years doing cabinetry. From there it was back to Mason because of health issues for both Mom and Dad.<br />
Dad died three years ago and today would be his 82nd birthday. I am a farmer's grand-daughter, daughter, and wife and very proud of it.Georgia Cameronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01689704606206426042noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3737214823606332700.post-48561120887229358712010-05-14T15:29:00.000-07:002010-05-14T15:29:22.101-07:00Follow FridayFor me, I like to go to face book and look up family names. I have met some new Wonsey cousins through facebook. The saying goes (according to my grandmother) that if you are a Wonsey, you are related.<br />
Some names are very common and some aren't. Hopkins and Hunt -too many to count! But I like to bug people anyway and ask about their family tree. Most are helpful, even if they only tell me there is no way they are related. Bugging is what keeps me doing genealogy. I had a lot of practice as a child bugging two older sisters!

Had a good trip and all that, but home is home.<br />
It really was a great trip. The Lincoln Park Zoo was awesome. I have only been to our local zoo so this much larger one was a real adventure for me. I saw animals I had never seen before. I was able to get some nice pictures of the animals, flowers, sky (with a storm coming in).<br />
The children did very good for a seven day road trip. They loved the caves and the snakes. Really loved all the junk food they were able to have living in a car for seven days. It will take their mom another seven days to get the car cleaned! Ages 4 and 6 (oops-turned seven during the trip) = mess!<br />
I'm tired, glad to be home, and wondering what the next road trip they will let me tag along on will be!<br />

In our adventure to get here, we have visited the Lincoln Park Zoo in Ohio and the Blue Mound Caves in Wisconsin.<br />
The zoo is the only one I've seen outside of our local zoo. Really neat. The polar bear was out and showing off in the water.<br />
The Caves-beautiful and scary at the same time. The kids thought they were awesome and want to see some more.<br />
Tomorrow we will go to the <span class="goog-spellcheck-word" style="background: yellow;">Narcisse</span> Snake Dens.

With their mother and myself, they are going to the Narcisse Snake Dens. David has been talking of this for the last year since he heard about it. He will have his seventh birthday while we are there. The Winnipeg and Chicago Zoos are on the list of things to do, also.(We are making a big circle around Lake Michigan.) We have always liked to just wing it when traveling. One or two things to do and the rest of the time just drive and stop where ever. It should be a relaxing-even though busy-time. A time to build a few memories with the two little ones.Georgia Cameronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01689704606206426042noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3737214823606332700.post-86376051030681357032010-04-30T00:18:00.000-07:002010-04-30T06:29:11.445-07:00Granddaughter Breanne Marie Badgley<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FfMMm-8Z0EM/S9qECxTYxFI/AAAAAAAAAFk/QJllso5VsTY/s1600/Brea.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FfMMm-8Z0EM/S9qECxTYxFI/AAAAAAAAAFk/QJllso5VsTY/s400/Brea.jpg" tt="true" width="290" /></a></div>Georgia Cameronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01689704606206426042noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3737214823606332700.post-52820543808859524782010-04-30T00:16:00.001-07:002010-04-30T00:22:26.175-07:00Granddaughter Danielle Nicole Badgley<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_FfMMm-8Z0EM/S9qDzoj3anI/AAAAAAAAAFc/otyEgGg-jqY/s1600/danielle.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_FfMMm-8Z0EM/S9qDzoj3anI/AAAAAAAAAFc/otyEgGg-jqY/s320/danielle.jpg" tt="true" /></a></div>Georgia Cameronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01689704606206426042noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3737214823606332700.post-51481312279153919102010-04-30T00:15:00.001-07:002010-04-30T00:23:35.649-07:00Grandson David William Badgley, Jr.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FfMMm-8Z0EM/S9qDiR2ZFFI/AAAAAAAAAFU/Q34_ApVPQ9E/s1600/david.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FfMMm-8Z0EM/S9qDiR2ZFFI/AAAAAAAAAFU/Q34_ApVPQ9E/s320/david.jpg" tt="true" /></a> </div>Georgia Cameronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01689704606206426042noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3737214823606332700.post-80731678394540986062010-04-30T00:11:00.000-07:002010-04-30T00:24:22.958-07:00Granddaughter Alexandria Leigh Badgley<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_FfMMm-8Z0EM/S9qDJwFqXaI/AAAAAAAAAFM/PrW9fDbYwJY/s1600/26737_387705831921_606626921_4554209_556585_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_FfMMm-8Z0EM/S9qDJwFqXaI/AAAAAAAAAFM/PrW9fDbYwJY/s320/26737_387705831921_606626921_4554209_556585_n.jpg" tt="true" /></a></div>Georgia Cameronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01689704606206426042noreply@blogger.com0
