I think that facebook is too invasive for me.
I'm not wanting to put all my life on the tube.
Iwant to be a bit laid back, so I quit the program.

Has 2011 given up on Summer?
Well, days are getting shorter and the Flag is put out later,
and taken in earlier.... So it seems to me that the daylight
is of shorter use. Or, perhaps the changes are from unusual
natural occurances.. but then if we check Google by putting
in, Earthquakes, or Volcanic Eruptions, or Tital Waves, the
result would be several pages of dates and places... Maybe we
just have not paid attention.
It is said that a earthen bridge existed between china and
out country... or that there was land bridge between Eroupe
and North America. If there was, it was before I can recall.
My thoughts are, that the two were one land mass, and that
the land was divided all over the Earth. the fragments seem
to fit together, if you take a flat map, and cut them out and
put them together. In the Bible, the creation of the earth is
given 2nd hand, and it could have been only one land mass, and
water was around it. Then too, it is suggested by scientists
that the water was in the heavens...until it rained after Noah
built the Arc..... Well, - that was then,and this is now.
My goal is to live to be 100. My wife says she wants no part
of being that old. I want to let her know that she willonly be
95 then... but she tunes me out.
If I get my wish, then I would be here to see my GreatGreat
Grandkids... The great grandkids now would be parents, with a
possibility of having 5 generations here at the same time.
It blows me away when I think that from the two of us, we now
number over 36 births... and then when we count the spouces
that is 22 more for a total of 58, with several weddings that
are planned in the near future..... Now when we add Ann and I
the total is 60...
Maybe the title of this tome, should have been, not of summer
but of ourselves, and what we do with all of our leasure time.
Perhaps we are in the winter of our lives.
One highlight of my life this past year was when Laura took
Mom and I to see the gardens of others...and She reaffirmed
my desire to relearn, and to learn all about growing foods
and making the earth both beautiful and productive. If time
permits, I want to be a part of that goal - to make the area
more beautiful and productive.
Well, enough of that, will you all check out Bill O'Riely's
factor, the #1 tv show on the tube today.....if you don't
like him, be silent-- if you do, let's talk.
Nest post - -sometime a few weeks from now.l

Nansemond ?
Hi, for some time, I have been searching for my Grandmother's
family. Grandmother's Father was Robert Steel, whom married her
Mother on Christmas, and was gone within perhaps, a month of
that day. I know his grandparents Steel, but was searching for
his Mother's family.
Grandmother said her grandmother, Julia Ann Bass, was an Indian
Princess, with long beautiful Black hair. At least that was all
I had, until finding her birth in Missouri, in Perche township,
Boone County. (1840: Then after some checking and many years
I found her parents were, Eli Bass and his wife, Lucy Bass, and
both were born in Virginia. Eli in 1775, and Lucy in 1810.
I asked myself, could this be so? Was Lucy really the daughter
of Eli, the ages would be ok if that was so... And then, if not,
why did the two of them have the same last name before marriage?
Then recently, someone told me about the Nansemond Indians of
Virginia, whom are Indians, but have the US Court's verdict that
they are not Black, nor white, but free citizens in the country.
I sent a letter to the Chief .. whose last name is Bass. I
learned that Bass is the Tribal Name. Almost all the members
of the Tribe are free white, and not on anty census records...
and the name came from Basse or a similar French name. That
family had boys that married Indian girls, and somehow all of
the descendents have the Bass name.
Interesting, in that John Adams had a good friend named John
Bass. So, if any of you have info that can shed light on
this search... let me knopw. AND, if or when Chief Bass or
others of the Nansemond responds to my letter, I will post
another disertation (did I spell that right?) informing
all of the results.
Because of the time and energy involved in the last 50+
years of my search I have looked at so many of the records
that I think I will have a party when I learn of the truth.
By the way, I am in contact with the 2nd family of Robert
Steel. They spell the name Steele now. They mostly live in
Colorado, or "Utah". More of this most interesting saga....

what's up, now
Everyone is mouthing the taking out of Bin-Lauden, yet,
that was just one person whom made wrong choices.
The 10 commandments in the Bible do not show which other
than To Love GOD, as bding the most important, so I guess
they are in order of importance to us.
If one looks at the 10 Commandments found in Exodus, at the
20th chapter of Exodus, we see that the first 7 concern the
Reverence and Obedience to God and His Name, and followers.
And The next concern God's Sabbath Day.
Then the we are told to Honor our Father and Mother.
After all this, then we find the actions;
thou shall not kill.
thou shall not be adulterous. (be unfaithful)
thou shall not steal. (take from others)
thou shall not bear false wittness. (Lie)
thou shall not covet. (desire anothers,possessions,status, etc.)
Somehow the taking out of a person whom does bad things is just
and correct. To boast of it, perhaps not so correct.
Especially at a time, when we are nationally insolvent,not united,
and hated by covetous others whom by some desire us dead.
If we but do what GOD has told us to do,(and not do) we will be
safe, and secure. Is it not what we want, to go about our lives
without fear, insecurity, and doubt? YES, we should always be
true to our knowledge of why we are here, and where we are going.
We, (MY FAMILY MEMBERS) should alwasy be the leaders in doing our
best to radiate the positive, and the purient values our FATHER
in Heaven has given us as goals, and ways of life... sorry to
give a religious speach, but this is what is needed at this time.
We must be the BEST we can be, and radiate our Goodness, as we
have it within our minds and life.
GOD loves us, each one. GOD will help us, each one. And for us
to qualify, we must love and help others, each one.
Until later, I, Grandad, have lots of Love for everyone....

Mother's Day
Wow, My wife celebrated the day with telephone contact whit
all seven of our children. Ann has been an incentive to be
a good as I can be... for I want to be with her always and
forever.
When we are attempting to do all that is expected of us by
Our FATHER, and repenting of the mistakes we make, both in
error, and by weakness, then we have the intercession of our
Brother, and Lord. The word Attondment (hope I spelled it
right) will explain what I mean.
For those whom still have a question, I believe that Joseph
Smith did and saw, what he claims and that the reference to
him in the bible, when God spoke to Joseph whom was sold by
his brothers into Eygpt, was told that another, Joseph the
son of Joseph, would be raised up inthe latter days to lead
the people of God, did see Joseph Smith Jr. in his vision.
I am greatful that seven generations back, Johannes left his
homw in Haefelfingen, Baselland, Switzerland, as a pallatine
refugee, and came to the colonies and to Delaware and freedom
of religion. At that time he was Lutheran, and joined the
Holy Trlinity or "Old Swedes Church" in Willmington Delaware.
Also that three geneations later, John and 4 of his brothers
joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day saints. From
that time to this, the Nebeker's have been in the Lord's true
church. It teaches us that we each have the right to our
own actions, and it is by our choices that we are blessed, or
caused not to be blessed. In other words, we have free agency.

Picture of our Partial Family
Today I put a picture of our family on the blogg. It is that what our FATHER
in Heaven has sent us. - 51 years ago this comming 23rd of July, then, there
were only 2 of us.... now look... and now Hannah, and Charlie whom are not
pictured, and we have another expected within the next 10 months..
Although the Nation's conditions seem to be falling apart, we have been told
Although the Nation's conditions seem to be falling apart, we have been told
that if we are true and faithful to what we know to be the right way to live, all
will be well and our lives will be good. One of these ways is also a scout saying
- "do a good turn daily." We can share our good fortune with others, whom
need our help. Of course, there are those whom would take advantage of our
willingness to be generous, we need to be circumspect in our helping hands.
There is a need, and we can see it easily, if we but look.
This word is founded on the family. It is the unit of life most valued - this
This word is founded on the family. It is the unit of life most valued - this
central idea is in every area, country, and nation. And the individual conduct
must be that of virtusness. We must be true to the ideals that we believe,
100%.! Our thoughts must be correct, and all of our deeds, in harmony.
Perhaps this is a part of Love for one another... for Love is greater than just
mere virtue. To be full of Concern and Love for all others is what our Savior
told us we should do. HE said that our number one activity, we remember -
"Love one another as if the other as if yourself." To do this you must respect
yourself, and love your life. For, if you do not love yourself, you can not love
another. In the family we learn what true love is. We learn by doing, and by
sacraficing, and by correcting ourselves when a wrong choice is righted.
These are the basics that JESUS taught, and lived when he was in the world.
Can these principles, taught by the SAVIOR be lived today, - YES, they can.
Even if the government is distroyed, and other conditions come to us. After
all, in the Bible and Book of Mormon (a second text for Jesus Christ) we read
of ancesters whom lived without their governments, sometimes without their
own country, sometimes as slaves, and sometimes, as now, great conditions.
Today, if we are true to our own teachings we should fear none of comming
changes in the world.
These changes have been written in various writtings... One that I prsonally
These changes have been written in various writtings... One that I prsonally
like is a book published in December 1939 (the year my wife was born) then
with additional ideas in 1949 and 1988. It was written by a Religion Teacher
with Devine assistance, his name is W.Cleon Skousen. Printed by Ensign
Publishing, it's title, Prophecy and modern Times. The book will give you
peace and hope. It will also stir you to want to live better, + more righteously.
If you do not agree, it will make your life a bit better.
And, For those whom check this Blogg.. I really don't think I"m the know all
And, For those whom check this Blogg.. I really don't think I"m the know all
and see all - but from the aspect of the time Iv'e been here, I've a persective
view of life. I,m not fearful of leaving, but want to live to be 100 years, before
leaving. Lots of Love for each and everyone.....Granddad

Good to be alive -
Some minister said that when we are all in Heaven, and we are discussing
what we did and when we did it, all will become very guiet when we say
we were here in the last days... Now, are these the last days? Is this
the beginning of the wrap up? Will the conditions be in harmony with the
book of revelations in the Bable, or not....that is the question...
For me, I believe we are in the last days of the earth as we know it.
I think that the changes and frequency of the changes are excellerating
rapidly. Does that mean I think that we will not have time to teach
our children, or to complete the tasks we are doing? No We will have
time to finish some of what we are doing. For now,I have put a frame-
work in our back yard so we can have veg'y growing there. I'm putting
pole beans in the flower bed, and have built a wooden box to put dirt,
seed,potting soil and steer food in - - so we can have lettus, cukes,
and other root foods. If the $ is declining, I think we should have a
sorce of food. and I am certain that you would agree.
We have been told to have our 2 year supply of food stored - not it is
one year. And we are to have a 72 hour kit at hand.... good advice. So,
lets do it...
In washington last year we voted down the private seeling of Beer and
spirits. Now we read in the newspapers that the State is going to
privatize that feature. Although I don't use those items, others do,
and if our governmant will not folow the will of the folks in the state,
what hope is there for expectaion that we have put leaders in whom will
make our lives easier, or a bit more fun? Today I wrote a infrequent
letter to the editor about this problem of out leaders doing what ever
they want without any thought of you and I.
Now is the time for each of us to live our life as we believe. If some-
one crossed us up, forget it, we have better things to do than be angry-
- - just chock it up to "his" experience, or "her" experience and drop
it out of your mind.. there are better uses of the energy. And then too,
He or She is our brother or sister.
As my Dad uesd to say, - just go on, forget it. Life is too short.
I even have gotten to forgive the mistakes that family make, and hope
that I don't make them too.
I believe that God is my FATHER and that we are all one family, the
family of Adam given to him by God. So I pray to Him, and thank Him
for His Son, Jesus Christ - for if He was God's son, (and I believe
He was) then we need his intercession with FATHER for us to progress.
Then if you do not beieve, then pray according to what you believe.
This is a great time to be alive.
It is well worth it, no matter how hard or long.
