Just finished watching the PBS 2 hour special bio of Eleanor Roosevelt - made more interesting because her granddaughter, Nina Roosevelt Gibson, lives here and was interviewed for the special. Probably made several years ago.
My family was never much into history - everyone worked just to put food on the table. So it's almost embarrassing to know so little about history. I've always heard about the many good deeds she did but never understood the depth of it until tonight. Like Hillary, Eleanor was the woman behind the man. And the men would never have achieved the Presidency without Eleanor and Hillary.
Eleanor should get credit for helping pass the human rights policies. She was one of the first people in the US to push for integration. She was an outstanding ambassador to the UN. Makes me feel like a lazy bum after seeing all that she accomplished.

Judy! My sincere apologies! I haven't read your blog for what seems like forever! I got out of the habit while on the road! I'm kicking myself over here!
Well, now that I am home, looks like I have a lot of fun catching up to do!
YOU were always on my mind, though! Love you! Gretchen
And if you notice the dates, I haven't blogged much either. Need to get in the habit. Miss you too! Glad you are back at home.
Hey Judy, I enjoyed your most recent blog, you can really describe and write well yourself! It's pretty darn hot down here, but I went swimming twice today and that really helped! xoKATE
Gretchen called yesterday to say you two went swimming! Wish I were there with you. We have a community pool, but rarely use it. Did Leigh make a crust for your Funny Cake?
I've decided to blog more and get more practice at writing down my thoughts. Thanks for the kind remarks.
