There was a little boy with a bad temper. His father gave him a
bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, to
hammer a nail in the back fence.
The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence.
Then it gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to
hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence.
Finally the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all.
He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy
now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his
temper. The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell
his father that all the nails were gone.
The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence.
"You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence.
The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger,
they leave a scar just like this one. You can put a knife in a
man and draw it out, it won't matter how many times you say 'I'm
sorry,' the wound is still there. A verbal wound is as bad as a
physical one."

Hello to all of you!
Just wanted to wish all of the Mothers out here a wonderful day! (yes
this IS genealogy right!?)
I leave you with these thoughts.....sent to me by a friend.....
WET OATMEAL KISSES
The baby is teething.
The children are fighting.
Your husband called and said, "Eat dinner without me."
One of these days you'll explode and shout to the kids, "Why don't you
just
grow up and act your age!"
And they will.
Or,"You guys get outside and find yourselves something to do--And don't
slam
the door!"
And they don't.
You'll straighten their bedrooms until it's all neat and tidy, toys
aredisplayed on the shelf, hangers in the closet, animals caged. You'll
yell,
"Now I want it to stay this way!"
And it will.
You will prepare a perfect dinner with a salad that hasn't had all the
olives
picked out and a cake with no finger traces in the icing and you'll say
"Now
this is a meal for company."
And you will eat it alone.
You'll yell, "I want complete privacy on the phone. No screaming, Do you
hear
me?" And no one will answer.
No more plastic tablecloths stained with spaghetti.
No more dandelion bouquets.
No more iron-on patches.
No more wet, knotted shoelaces, muddy boots or rubber bands for
ponytails.
Imagine--a lipstick with a point, no babysitters for New Years Eve,
washing
clothes only once a week
No PTA meetings or silly school plays where your child is a tree
No car pools, blaring stereos or forgotten lunch money.
No more Christmas presents made of library paste and toothpicks
No wet oatmeal kisses
No more tooth fairy
No more giggles in the dark, scraped knees to kiss or sticky fingers to
clean.
Only a voice asking, "Why don't you grow up?"
And the silence echoes: "I did".

MASSILON FARLEY JUDGE
ATTEST: W D Thomson Clerk
At the October term of said court 1838 the court made a return of their
proceedings in the words and figures following towit.
REPUBLIC OF TEXAS ) County of Robertson ) we the undersigned of the
County aforesaid by authority of the affixed Commission of partition
issued by the Honorable Probate Court in and for the County of Milam to
us directed to make partition and division of the estate of Andrew
Cavitt, Deceased late of the county and Jurisdiction of Milam have
proceed agreeable to said order and do under oath make the following as
a return of our acts and doings in partition and division of the real
and personal estate chores in action belonging and appertaining to said
Cavitt Estate for the benefit of the parties interested.
In first place we take as the basis of the partition and division that
the widow Ann Cavitt is the surviving partner of said Deceased, and that
she is entitled to a moiety of said estate under the law they emigrated
towit. In the year 1835 and that said Cavitt, deceased previous to the
adoption of the constitution therefore she is entitled to a11 she
brought into the community and one half acquired during conture;
secondly as we know of no other method to govern us in partition we have
taken the inventory and valuation of Powers and Marlin as a guide and
rules to govern us in value partition or division which we prefex to
this return and make part thereof.
Thirdly, we make two parties towit: Ann Cavitt, widow and surviving
partner our party and the heirs at law of his body the other party
taking the foregoing as a rule of partition we partition and set over an
undivided interest of one half of all real property or lands required or
owned by virtue of emigrating undor the laws of colonization or purchase
out of the means of the estate of said Cavitt, deceased to each of the
parties for their proper benefit and use to be divided as may be
hereafter pointed out by the court or the law prescribed.
We partition and set over to each party an undivided interest in all
lands tenements within the United Statos with the exception of one tract
of one hundred acres which is supposed to be sold which is vested in
said Ann Cavitt, that she may make a title to said premises the proceeds
to be equally divided between the parties when received.
Said land lying in Hardeman County, Tennessee, and valued at $100.00.
We partition divide and set over to each party the following slaves
belonging to thc succession of said estate which have been divided so as
not to separate families.
Who was Cora Cavitt Armstrong? Was Armstrong her married name or
her maiden name?
Cavitt Armstrong, 2nd husband of Ann Cavett Cavitt, had two brothers
who also moved to Wheelock...wondered if there could be a connection.

Cavitt/Cavett Cousins,
Bouquets to Rita for another great URL.

With deep appreciation to Rita for her continuing contributions to

Helen
