This blog was created for my granddaughters, Natalie Elizabeth and Emmalyn Rose Herron, to share the experiences of Mitch and me, along with our viewpoints on politics, religion, and the history we are creating. I respectfully understand that you may not always agree with our perspectives. We want to teach the two of them our history, their family history, and American history, so they, too, will learn to question with boldness! Should you disagree with our viewpoints, please keep your negative commentary in your mind. This blog may not be for you.
