This week in 1966, Memphis' world famous Beale St. was officially added to the Register of National Historic Landmarks. Home of the Blues was now officially a part of the fabric of America. Tina Turner may be a long way from the place that she once called home, but the place still holds residence in her song lyrics. Another day. Another turtle to take back to the pond. 🤷🏼‍♀️ #asoutherngirlsview #turtles Today is #DNAday21 and a way for us to celebrate the power of genetics and genomics⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Old Faithful is a cone geyser in Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, United States and was actually named in 1870 during the Washburn–Langford–Doane Expedition. On this episode, I have a little surprise for all of you out there interested in genealogy, family history and all the subjects in between.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Celebrating #nationalsiblingsday me (i’m the baby), my brother and my sister and my late father. This photo always reminded me of the tv show “The Addams Family” because of the colors and our expressions 😅. Wish my mom could have been in the shot as I don’t think we have any family shots of all of us together ever. Two days of heavy fighting conclude near Pittsburgh Landing in western Tennessee. The Battle of Shiloh became a Union victory after the Confederate attack stalled on April 6, and fresh Yankee troops drove the Confederates from the field on April 7.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Celebrating #NationalTartanDay with the colors of my ancestors. I am a proud Clan MacNeil of Barra descendent.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “Well, I don't know what will happen now. We've got some difficult days ahead. But it really doesn't matter with me now, because I've been to the mountaintop. And I don't mind. Like anybody, I would like to live – a long life; longevity has its place.
