Corollary to a Precious Little Girl
I knew that my precious little girl could never rest in peace until she was home with us. We received Josie’s ashes back a few days ago and I felt relieved to have her at home again. I had made her a promise early on that I’d never leave her at the vet alone and…

My Precious Little Girl
On Friday April 10th, 2015 at approximately 11:05 am, we lost our precious little girl Josie to Lymphoma. Josie first arrived in our lives on Christmas Eve 2002. She couldn’t exactly be wrapped, though I later came to learn that she would have been happy to wait the entire night under a Christmas Tree. She…

Joining the Babb Family Association
Someone pointed out to me that I’ve not provided a method for people to join the Babb Family Association. I can’t believe that I somehow missed that when creating this new blog. Historically, we have collected dues via the newsletter and I hadn’t considered that there were people out there who appreciate the work we…

In addition to being the 4th great Grandson of Seth Babb of Greeneville, TN, Ryan is a native of Katy, Texas and is pictured sliding into home plate during a friendly game between…

Charles Devereux DeVaney: A Biography
When I was growing up and I was trapped inside during a snow storm, I loved working on Jigsaw puzzles. Something about them always intrigued me and I kept several for just that occasion. This weekend, Dallas was covered by a blanket of ice. I don’t have my jigsaw puzzles anymore, but I decided to…

CAT DNA solves homicide
This is an interesting story about how authorities solved a murder mystery using DNA found on some cat hair on the victim. I know I spend half my life covered in cat hair from my two Orange Tabbies. So, I guess I have to watch my step. 😉 http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-205_162-57598553/british-cat-dna-database-helps-convict-killer/ Sadly, it now appears that it…

Not much to say
I realized I haven’t made a post in a while and wanted to explain why. There really hasn’t been much to say. We are in a holding pattern waiting on the door hardware for the front and back doors. There was a mixup about who was creating the replacement doors, but that has been resolved.…

Moving
For all those that have wondered where I’ve been over the last few weeks. I’ve been moving to a new place a few miles north of my last one in North Dallas, TX. The search and remodel has taken more time than I expected and I’m just now starting to see the light of day.…

Historic Bridge in Vermont swept away by Irene
THIS IS NOT BABB’S BRIDGE, but at first glance on the TV this morning, it wasn’t possible to tell. I thought others might have seen and wondered and thought it shows the destructive power of mother nature in a way that hits very close to home after our recent trip to Babb’s Bridge. Watch the…
