Ancestor Report

Lauren had an assignment from school to do an ancestor report. The guidelines were simple, any ancestor at least two generations removed. In addition to the report, a poster was also required. Lauren chose Grandma Ison, due in large part to my pulling out the published history of Grandma Ison, which made research convenient. Lauren focused her report on how different it was when Grandma Ison grew up. She loved reading and retelling in her report some of the fun stories from Grandma's childhood. But as different as their lives are, Lauren realized that they had a common thread in sewing. Lauren talked about how Grandma sewed, and that skill has been passed down through the generations, and now she sews just like her Grandmother. I have to say I really enjoyed working on this project with Lauren. Next project, a rock collection. I am thinking this is a great project for daddy......
