  • Love thoughts from places. Yours are good too.

    But, I'm quite certain that Aurora, Illinois was tue first city in America. That's where its name comes from.

  • @jocelynallday I looked it up to double check and while Aurora was one of the first cities to be electrically lit (Either second or third), Wabash Indiana was the very first in the world.

  • A national plowing contest? How does one enter? Is a farm necessary?

  • @ermzgracieisawesome I asked the same questions and my grandma didn't have the slightest clue how one would go about judging a "best plower".

  • you were adorable as a kid! Sooooo cute!!!

  • When you spoke about how your grandmother records and preserves family history, I couldn't help but think of how you vlog. I realize they are two completely different things, but perhaps part of the reason you value recording your own life is because your family values remembering and appreciating the past. just a thought.

    Anyway, great video!

  • Do those books all say history in different languages? I saw the one saying Hanes and that's Welsh...

  • D'aawww. Dan photo.

  • Your thoughts from places videos are always so good because you are so thoughtful.

  • oh my wow! that is so cool of you grandma to do! all those events are just there! at hand ready to read! your so lucky that you can just pick up and read YOUR family's history! i want to do that! lol ps im from indiana too! actually when you said wabash i thought "wait, we have a wabash river..." and thought you lived here too! lol then i realized how ignorant i was!

  • The most fascinating Grandparents' house. I'm attempting to gather together family history but WOW, those glorious neat binders! That looks like years of work and research. Wonderful.

  • Nice gelled hair in the photo of yourself...

  • @DanRezler I'm pretty sure a plowing contest winner was the team who plowed a given field in the least amount of time. Yeah, I'm an Indiana farm girl.

  • @DanRezler Yeah. Wikipedia says that and but the city website says it's the first. I feel like I've been fed LIES AND CONFUSION.
