“The Great Beauty” And The Small Moments In Our Own Lives

Over the weekend I had the pleasure of watching La Grande Bellezza (The Great Beauty), an epic Italian film in the style of Fellini’s La Dolce Vita, but with more cinematic greatness achieved by the advances in technology since the 1960s as well as a more existential examination of life. It was truly captivating and I am planning on a second viewing next week as the MFAH is bringing it back for an…

Hi Hazel,  I did find the newspaper article regarding Mrs. Susan Bostick and Mrs William Bostick. It is not possible for this William to be the twin brother of Joel but a possible link to consider in our future research.

2014 Memory Jar Project

I have been reading about the concept of “Happiness Jars.” In Elizabeth Gilbert’s blockbuster memoir “Eat, Pray, Love” she started a project where she would write down things that have made her happy each day on little slips of paper and put them in this large glass jar.

I am proposing something similar but let’s call it a Memory Jar or more aptly, the Memoir Jar. Starting tomorrow, January 1st 2014, make a…

It helps to put you back on track when we fall off.  O we do a lot of that falling off.  At least I do.  When researching and another family name pops up within the confines of the search I am already doing it is hard to not, stop and gather in the data.  Then because you have found…
