History Lesson

We sometimes look back very fondly at our school years and recall all the friends, good times, sport accomplishments, Prom, first dates, driving for the first time, all things synonymous with school. One thing not missed however, was homework, and maybe it's not missed because truly there didn't seem to be much of it. Study halls were aplenty and what didn't get done during those hours was finished on the bus to a volleyball game or other such event. Over the years we've realized that you are never free from homework. You finish high school and it's on to college, from there research and continuing education required for our careers and last but not least our children! We finally had a project this past weekend in which Brienna needed to interview a family member that could recall someone immigrating to America. Thanks to Nana, we have copies of Sarah's, Em's and Steve's family tree reports and had a great time reading them to the kids. They giggled at most of it and when all those reports didn't yield much about the boat trip over, we called Grandma Grochow! She was able to tell us many fascinating details, my history buff husband had a great time! Thanks Grandma for the information and also to our decedents for their unbelievable dedication and courage to leave their homelands & family only to a endure treacherous voyage to this great country!!!!!
