I want you guys to understand how close we are to slavery and reconstruction. It's a little bit of a story. My mama is in her early 60s. She grew up on a farm in Central Missouri in a county that was populated more by slaves than white people at the beginning of the Civil War. My family farm never had slaves because my grandfather during that time was an abolitionist. However, during reconstruction, we had a lot of sharecroppers. A lot. And when my mother was very small, she remembers my grandmother feeding them lunch every day.

I treated myself to a Cameo from @jonathansfrakes, my Space Husband, and he did it in less than 24 hours. Not only that but I'm NOT a stranger to him. He remembers me. I'm so grateful. I feel like I want to get out of bed now (really tough surgery). #StarTrek I have been saving up for my Cameo since @jonathansfrakes announced he was doing them, something like last year. The cost is really not that much but I'm a poor person and it takes a lot for me to save for it.
