My Great-Grandmother, Jennie Fishbaugh

A relative sent me this photo tonight. It is of my great-grandmother, Jennie Fishbaugh Horn. She was married to the only great-grandfather I remember (and that, slightly), John Henry Franklin Horn. I love getting these "new" old photos ... glimpses into the past.

The Volleyball Net Incident

So tonight was our regular basketball night. We have to quit at six because a volleyball league comes in. So they set up the volleyball net while we're still playing basketball. While playing, I went running after a ball that was about to go out of bounds at half court ... and ran full tilt into the volleyball net—a perfect clothesline—knocking myself flat on my back. My wonderful Christian friends all had the same loving message of concern for me: "Wow. Too bad we don't have that on video."

A classic shot of my maternal grandfather at the business he owned. My mother did books for him here.
