Z is for Zubick, my name from the time I was born to the time I married and changed my name. I didn't know at that time or it was before you could keep your own name. Anyway I changed my name to Swedak and came up a quarter of the alphabet from the last to the 8th from the bottom. In school when ever anything was called by alphabet the teacher or who ever it was always said "last but not least, Gladys Zubick. I hated that so was in a way glad to change my name but I was still proud of what my father had done with his name. He had made it a name that stood for honesty, integrate and someone who could deal with any animal in need of kindness and love and could make them do anything. For instance a big red cow who he got for a cheep price because she didn't produce any milk, well Big Red after a while had to be milked 3 times a day she was so full. There was also Barney a big horse that wouldn't pull logs for his owner. Daddy got him cheep too because he wouldn't work. Yea right, Barney would let me ride him while he pulled 2-3 logs. The problem wasn't Barney it was the owner. He had the chain pulled up so close the logs hit Barney's heals so and they hurt. See, the name Zubick was something to be proud of and I wish I still carried it but I am proud of Swedak too. Daniel was a good husband and we after 20 years found out that we really loved eachother. Then three years later he died, but life goes on and I found another love.
Have no idea what I will write about Monday but will try to continue with my daily blog even if no one reads it.
