This post as part of my participation in Amy Johnson Crow's 2018 version of the 52 Ancestors meme. This weeks prompt is, "Strong Woman - - what female in your family tree has shown remarkable strength, either physical or emotional?"
Man and I have been suffering from colds for a couple of weeks. Sapped my will to do anything other than sleep and play solitaire. I know better than to think I will ever catch up, but, patching sometimes will slow down the floods, eh?? Therefore - -
I have written so much about some of my strong women in my ancestry here on Reflections. So, when this prompt came up, I went, oh, dear. And, so, I am going to take the "easy" way out once more.
So for this prompt, I choose to highlight once again, Lorena. My great-grandmother. My dad's grandmother. He told me on more than one occasion that maybe she "poisoned" her hubbies with mushrooms. She had 5 and they all died or disappeared from our family history. Needless to say, 5 marriages, 2 children by her first marriage, 6 children by her second marriage, and the mystery surrounding the passing of several of her hubbies, well, can we say, post fodder? Oh, yes we can. I have written about Lorena and her extended family well over 30 times here on Reflections.
So, without further ado, here is a link to the search of Reflections for the keyword, LORENA.

Here she is just months before her passing, with, yeppers, yours truly as a wee bit of a babe. To the left, my father. Sitting on the right arm of the chair, his mother, Florence. And, ya, I have written about those two a time or two here on Reflections as well.
