From anxiety to elation, abandonment to elation. The language of each piece reflects the era – embellished vs. clipped. The world has truly become smaller and it’s the happy family that remains connected.gabriellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14488809730387509552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7976656567250803879.post-34218083498356634562009-12-05T09:19:58.514+11:002009-12-05T09:19:58.514+11:00i can't help but to think we all came from som...i can't help but to think we all came from somewhere...it is good to read abt the journey...one more believerhttp://pieceofpie.wordpress.com/2009/12/04/ajar/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7976656567250803879.post-42980076220073471452009-12-03T16:54:00.780+11:002009-12-03T16:54:00.780+11:00my such a wonderful poem!

Of course! Most U.S. citizens have migrated from someplace.<br />In our family our anscestors, the Fletchers, came right after the Mayflower. A cousin, Moses Fletcher, did come othe Mayflower.<br />They were able to corespond with the homefolk, we have a copy of their Thanksgiving letter to the English relatives. Moses had died.<br />Now our daughter is talking of reversing that migratory trip. Her e-mail and text messaging works to us from the U.K. We have visited quite a few times, visiting her would be an excuse to go again. (Australia is on our bucket list.)<br />..Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02982249173214655060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7976656567250803879.post-41130593044443208002009-11-30T01:05:36.074+11:002009-11-30T01:05:36.074+11:00Great take on the prompt with a comparision of tod...Great take on the prompt with a comparision of today and the way it used to be. We take technology and all the communication avenues we have for granted. I get emails and phone calls globally now on my blackberry. How cool is that?

I recall in the 1960s when my husband was stationed in North Africa, my mama said she felt she would never see us again and we were gone for three years. At that time, we had no money or phone so letters were all we could do for those three years.<br />It was an interesting time for me and my family but not for my mama.<br />She wanted us back in the States.Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02023472067047797430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7976656567250803879.post-17257965781742252412009-11-29T17:42:03.019+11:002009-11-29T17:42:03.019+11:00Ah, awesome, specially how you put the two in perp...Ah, awesome, specially how you put the two in perpective... Come to think of it, we rarely pause to think or realize the humongous amount of change that has taken place around us.. I'd say 1809 is going way back... I think there are massive changes if you bring into perspect even, say, a time five decades back..
