If Not Now.....When???

This week I traveled to Bridgewater to work. The first day I went by the exit sign for Stelton Road on Rt. 287. And, I thought the same thing I have thought for more then 40years. I should go to the Baptist church, where my dad's ancestor's are buried. When I was eighteen I started wondering about my dad's family. Mostly the only relationship he had was with his sister. I never heard a word about my grandparents on that side. Later I found out his dad had died the year before I was born. And, his mom had left them when he was three. We had visited West Virginia a couple of times to visit "Nana". And, she was the mother of a step brother and half brother and sisters. I also went to a family reunion once, in West Virginia. But, most of the family history is from north Jersey in the New Brunswick area. Where I believe my dad was born and raised. I was given papers my father was given that traces his family back to the 1600's. When I was going through my divorce, I began thinking about changing my name back to Stelle. So, on the computer it didn't take long to match the names in the family history. I went in the heat one day this week. I took as many pictures I could of the headstones. I will be matching them with the sheets of paper. I hope to visit with my family and give them each a copy of the names in the family tree and show where they are buried. The days are flying by. And, this week I am really proud of myself, for actually doing the things I only think about. I worked where there was a dine in movie theatre. I was able to have a beer, dinner and watch a movie. I came home and fell right asleep and didn't wake until there was daylight. I usually awake every two hours. So, I am so glad I did this. I also went to my rise and write class at Over the Moon studio. I had some time to kill before I went back to Bridgewater. And, I stopped in the Sunset Landing to have breakfast. It was a hot morning, but there was a refreshing breeze. The food, atmosphere and staff was just what I needed to start a long day. I went to a book release at the Community House in Spring Lake. I really enjoyed entering the theatre from the third avenue side. I LOVE that is the library I went to as a child and a theatre I actually participated in a few plays there through girl scouts. I also wrote for the last thirty days. So, now my vacation is starting. Nope, I have to work two days this week. It is Ok though, it will again force me to make the most of each day I have off this week.
