<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Greetings -!</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I wanted to share with you all how being a 1st timer at <b>Continental Congress in 2018</b> for the <b>Daughters of the American Revolution</b> Annual Session was for me personally.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Usually I reserve my Blog for my Ancestors but today, I wanted to share my Personal Diary Entry about what happened. Preserve it - Share and Treasure this Moment. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Every now and then I have to post a <i><b>Note to Myself</b></i> and this is a moment I'm rendering to Myself privately, for you all to read. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<span style="font-size: large;">I attended <b>Continental Congress 2018</b> in Washington DC, 1776 D Street for my <b>Patriot Nicholas Barrick</b>. I carried the strength and love of my whole family's Ancestors to Continental Congress as a African American woman. For Chapter and For State. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> I was representing my whole being, the <b>Womenfolk </b>in my Family who had no Voice, from my Granddaddy Ike Ivery who was <b>Enslaved</b>. All the way to my <b>Patriot</b>. I was their Grand baby and I was there for <b>ALL</b> of them. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Honored - Highly Favored as a child of God & Blessed to have met President General Ann Dillon and the 42nd Past President General Merry Ann Wright (2010 - 2013) who was pioneering on recognizing the Women of Color in <b>DAR</b> for their Service was a HONOR. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">As you all have come to know me. I have been Blessed from the Womb. These are Moments that I want to share with you. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Just arriving by uber at <b>DAR Headquarters</b> and driving up on it was an amazing view. My heart was pounding so fast. All the times over the course of my Life visiting DC and I don't ever remember looking at that Building in the Light that I did. I never thought I'd be a Daughter, it didn't seem possible and it was not on my radar. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">But there I was.....I was a Daughter of the American Revolution coming Home. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">As soon as I get to <b>Constitution Hall</b>. I made a beeline straight for the bathroom to take a deep breath and gather my wits. As I entered, <b>Karen Batchelor</b> the <b>1st African American Woman</b> Inducted into <b>DAR </b>was there in the mirror. We hugged and I was just in wonderment. Of all the people I see on my arrival it was Karen. How comforting and divine. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">She gave me a personal tour of Constitution Hall right before she left to go to the NMAAHC. Can you believe of all the people I run into as I arrive it's Karen!? I knew then everything was going to be alright. She showed me where to pick up my Pre Registration - the Library - elevators and all. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I also got to meet Mr. Larry! He knew right away I was a First-Timer! He is the Head of Security for Constitution Hall. He even granted me his own Special Pin. They are equivalent to when a Soldier gets a Coin in the Army to me. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">That just goes to show you nothing goes on in Constitution Hall without Mr. Larry knowing about it! Such a Gentleman. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I hope he knows I felt safe and secure with him walking all around the premises. We Thank You Mr. Larry for your Service watching all the Daughters and Guests and our Home. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Our State Regent had previous Commemorative WW1 Pins and I purchased one for me and Mom. Mom keeps asking me how was she? How was she?

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>I also got to get to view the beautifully restored Constitution Hall Stage. I picked up my Lap Blanket. It was for making a donation to Support our Winter Campaign President Generals Project. We all got the Opportunity to sign a piece of cloth to make 3 Quilts that were displayed in the <b>Pennsylvania Foyer</b>. For our Donation we were gifted Lap Blankets of replicas of the quilt displays. It was all to represent our Commitment to <b>Historic Preservation</b>. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">This Day was so dear to my heart and soul, being with Shelley Murphy, and other Daughters Celebrating the lives of <b>The Forgotten Patriots</b> who are no longer Forgotten. Shelley has really taken me under her wing and has showed so much love and understanding and a whole lot of patience with my nervousness getting me settled in for Congress. Shelley has been instrumental on showing me the proper way to be a Daughter and how to get myself involved in giving back to this Country in Service with the <b>Daughters</b>. She's been such the Mentor. She showed so much love and was so giving. There was no better way to do Congress for my 1st time without Shelley the whole week. We made another special moment in time for the ages. I know as long as I'm a Daughter my thank you's will not be enough. Thank You Shelley for everything! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><i>- Saturday -</i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>I attended Saturday Business Meeting. Introduction of Special Presentations were made Preserving our Past: <b>DAR Museum</b>, Americana Collection and the NSDAR Archives. I was all about getting last minute shopping in and spending some time with my Sisters and meeting so many more. It's unbelievable how much of a connection I made with so many across the Country. Sisters helping Sisters, sharing and caring for one another. Getting business taken care in Service to America. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Saturday was also <b>National Defense Night</b>.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This is where DAR comes in for me. I am now a Veteran and I can continue my Service to America in that capacity as a DAR Member. That night is gonna be special to me for the rest of my Membership. I was so Proud to see all the Awarded on Constitution Hall Stage. It was so rewarding seeing them get recognized for their Service. It was truly Humbling. I got to hang out with a few Texas Daughters that night. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Following Continental Congress
this year, four new benches honored our female Veterans. They will be
added to the Daughters Tribute
Memorial Garden.
Donated by Washington State
Daughters, the benches are symbols
of comfort, rest and contemplation
and were dedicated
in a small ceremony on Tuesday,
June 19. I thank them for that. The words <b>“Honoring and
Remember Women Who Serve”</b>
were chosen to represent not only
women veterans, but all women
who serve others, including police,
firefighters, EMTs and caregivers.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>The Kansas Chapel</b> has been a place of tranquility since 1962. The recent renovations have allowed this space to become
easily accessible and preserve the beauty of the chapel located near the
Registrar General’s office. Please stop in and see the all the glorious light come in through the panes. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> Members of the Corridor Hostesses Committee are
the ladies who wear white gloves while holding the
ropes during daily processionals of the National Officers,
prior to business and evening sessions. The purpose
is to establish a corridor for the procession, from
the Guest Hospitality area outside the President General’s
Reception Room to the center orchestra doors at
the back of the auditorium. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Me and Shelley got to hold the Ropes on a few occasions during Congress. Every Daughter keeps her white gloves on her person at all times. </span><br />

The Pages placed a flower on the Dedication Wreath for each State that was called during the <i>Call to Remember</i>. We had a Beautiful Program to go with Sundays Itinerary. The Roll Call of States. State Delegations are invited to Stand when the States are called. The Chiming of the Hour along with the Lighting of the candles of Remembrance. The Scriptures were gracefully spoken. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Thanks for coming by....I finally had some free time to go through Daddy's Army WW2 Footlocker and go through a few things today. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Below are Photos from one of 5 wallets that <b>Daddy</b> saved over the years. In this one particular wallet he had these photos and they are unknown to me. I didn't see them while he was alive to ask. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Daddy kept this trunk in the attic of our home that I was born and raised in, locked.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">These are just <i>thoughts</i> and <i>theories</i> on what I think about them.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Daddy</b> was from Midway, Bullock County, Alabama. I think these are during the WW2 years. Most of the great photos that I care for from Daddy are like this in this era and are identified. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Most of the places Daddy took pictures for himself and family were in <b>Eufaula</b>, or <b>Union Springs, Alabama. </b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I don't know if any of them are Cousins or Family of his. Friends or Neighbors? I assume some of the babies are family, but you can never be sure. The two bottom ones look like the same babe. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I will pass this onto my family. Hopefully they will recognize some faces as well. I sure would love to know their Stories and how Daddy came upon these. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">He was very particular and disciplined on how he kept his wallet. I found a lot of meaning on what was there and what was not. Daddy's wallets and the way he kept them reflect his personality. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">People that intimately know Daddy know that about him. I'm sure this sentiment is about a lot of Southern Gentlemen from that time period. It was truly an intimate and private sacred space for him. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The day he passed. I held onto his Final Wallet and keys. Daddy had a special place for them every night on top of his metal file cabinet. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">After we calmed down later the next day. Me and Bettye assigned a specific time with all of our Siblings, his children. We all sat at the kitchen table together and went through it piece by piece. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Daddy left a lot of unsaid and direct messages. He had 371.00 hidden in a part of his wallet he carved out to hide money instead of the usual billfold pocket. Photos. <b>Memories</b>. All of our phone numbers on a card. One day I'll share all of the contents. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I am hoping you all can pass this blog piece around to your friends and see if anyone can recognize them or has the same photos.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">You all can leave me a Comment or Note to let me know what you think or how you feel. I wanted this to be Open for the Public to be passed around for Societies or any Genealogy Circle you think is appropriate. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Midway, Alabama</b> was very close nit and there were many families there that married into other families. Midway is a mecca for Cluster/FAN Research works. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Mom use to say to me every Summer. "Don't talk to any boys". They are ALL your Cousins. So they were, by blood or by marriage. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So hopefully I'll find out one day. How these Women and babies are kin to me. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>It's worth a try</b>. </span><br />
