Well, I got a little side-tracked on my research, but in a good way. I think a cousin found the right man to be our 4X great grandfather. I don't have all the pieces to prove it but I'm so close I can taste it. John Winter married Martha Paulding in 1804in Billinghay, Lincolnshire, England. This couple has been the boulder in the pathway that we haven't been able to move. So, I'm not holding my breath, but maybe...
In the meantime, I saw this quirky little kit the other day and got hit with a blast from the past. It reminded me of Mrs. Pelling, my second grade teacher, who introduced me to Mrs. Piggle Wiggle in the fall of 1961. I was 6. Mrs. Pelling was a huge influence on me and helped me fall in love with school and learning. Thank you, Mrs. Pelling!
Mrs. Pelling at Richman Elementary School in
Fullerton, California introduced me to Mrs. Piggle Wiggle at the beginning of
my second-grade year in 1961. She lived
in an upside-down house and my 6 year-old mind built a picture of her that
looked remarkably like the Granny with her pet pig below. Today my mind sees an energetic, lively
60-something woman who smiles without end.
She would surely have something to say about the hot tempers and whiny
voices. I wonder - are her pig’s other social
graces as impeccable as his table manners?
