Welcome! And, Happy Holidays.

This blog is dedicated to Me (no, that's just wrong).

This blog is dedicated to Ruth and Dick Patton who spawned 6 loving siblings from a home that saw some strife and a lot of good parenting. Richard (Sandy), Charles Douglas (Chuck), Geoff (Jeff), Frederick King (Punkinhead), Marilyn (Marne, as in mar-knee), and Karen Sue (Red) are all still alive and kicking and caring about each other.

This blog is also for their families. Friends and anyone else who might happen to be interested are always welcome, as was anyone who came to Ruth & Dick's door.

I hope that we all find comfort, companionship, and caring through this portal, intended primarily to keep in touch better as we report on our lives.

Love,
Geoff

Thanks, Geoff, for your initiative in setting up this site.

I have reviewed the Terms of Service for this site, which is through Google. Note the following two items that we should all be aware of:

(1) You must be over 13 years old (thus, no young grandkids on the site!), and

(2) "You agree that Google may access or disclose your personal information, including the content of your communications, if Google is required to do so in order to comply with any valid legal process or governmental request (such as a search warrant, subpoena, statute, or court order), or as otherwise provided in these Terms of Service and the general Google Privacy Policy. Personal information collected by Google may be stored and processed in the United States or any other country in which Google Inc. or its agents maintain facilities. By using the Service, you consent to any such transfer of information outside of your country." Thus, do NOT assume that anything posted is completely confidential.

Finally, a Happy Veterans Day to Geoff! Hope it's a good day for you. (Wish we could get Richard going on a computer so I could include him in this comment...)

Love,
Karen

Hey Geoff & All, I'm new at blogging and checking to see if I can save this comment to the site. I also thank you for doing this.
Hugs to all, Marne

Thanks for setting up this blog. It is another way we can stay in contact. Thanks for giving Lucy a great Thanksgiving.
