I have been posting things besides family things on this blog, but from now on I will be publishing my day to day thoughts and things on the Rodriguez blog. I will also make an effort to post more frequently. There are loads of past and present family stories and events to blog about. Most recently, my brother asked something I had not thought of..."What did the grandkids call George Troy Swindall?" He died when my dad was five, and the only grandkids old enough to remember him were Donald, Alice, Edward Earl and Kay, as far as I know. I found out from Donald that he was called paw. I also found out that Matt was called maw. This was a big surprise for me since I am a grandkid and I always called her grandma. Donald said he thinks it was Orene's kids who started calling her grandma instead of maw. Maybe I can talk to some of the others who remember him and find out more. Dad has told me several interesting stories about George Gilbert, his maternal grandfather. I want to get them in print and share them with the rest of the family. At least with those who are interested.
This years family reunion will be July 20.
