This is a blogging theme for the month of March which is Women's History Month. I'm a bit behind but do want to participate in the daily blogging posts. These 31 posts will be posted between my two blogs "My Trails Into the Past" and "Mam-ma's Southern Family."
March 18 — Shining star: Did you have a female ancestor who had a special talent? Artist, singer, actress, athlete, seamstress, or other? Describe.
My grandmother, Anna Marie Sullivan, attended Montana Normal College, and I have her college yearbook. In the yearbook I found she was on the basketball team and the Glee Club. What I remember most about my Nana, was that she was always singing. She taught us to sing little ditties while washing dishes. That always made washing dishes much more fun.

I don't think she ever sang formally, such as in a church choir or other chorus after college. She was an elementary school teacher and I'm sure her classrooms were full of singing.

That's a beautiful photograph. I love how the photographer lined up the ladies so carefully.
