Of course, I should also mention that five other people left comments at the end of that post, and those five believed the stories were true.
Well, guess what? I apparently can't fool you. Both of the stories are true. For the first story my great-grandfather really did die three days before my mother and her family found out. Of course, this is according to what my mother told me, and from the way she told me, it sounds as though my grandma had a dream about him around the time he died, which was three days before they learned about his death. As for the lapse in time, my great-grandfather lived in the United Kingdom, and when something did happen, my mother's family was usually the last to hear about it because family members over in the U.K. would have been the ones taking care of the arrangements. Of course, by the time my mother's relatives in the U.K. had a chance to contact my mother's family, three days had gone by. (As strange as this might sound.)
As for the second story, I did start shaking in the car as my grandpa drove out of the cemetery. To this day, I still do not know what was the cause of the shaking. We visited the cemetery in late July, so there wasn't any reason for me to start shaking. Of course, unless I was reacting to the air conditioning in the car, but I do not recall it being an extremely hot or humid day. The other possibility that I can think of is that it was an unconscious reaction to being in the cemetery. I did write in a post last year that I do not like visiting cemeteries, and it could be that my dislike of being in cemeteries resulted in me shaking. (Well, I think cemeteries are creepy.) Of course, those are the two most likely possibilities, and I don't think I want to think about any other possibilities ...
Before I forget, I just want to say thank you to those who voted, read my post, and left comments on the post. Thank you for doing so.
It looks like I'll be focusing on a time period between 1837 and 1900 for a few of articles on Michigan's history. I think my first article will be on the 1871 fires in Michigan, and I will post that article some time next year. Stay tuned for this article and others to come! Enjoy!
As to how I chose the time periods, I just focused on different time periods that I thought would work well for this poll. I don't know if historians would divide Michigan's history in the way I did, but the first three time periods were chosen based upon when Michigan was a colony of the French and the British, when the United States gained control of Michigan, and when Michigan became a state. You can choose more than one time period for this poll. Enjoy!
I think I'll extend the submission deadline until tomorrow, and I'll post the edition on the 6th.
Well, it looks like I will be doing a history post on Michigan sometime in the future. I don't know when I'll post this history article, but I will post it sometime. To those who voted, thank you for voting.
I do not know when I will post an article, but I hope to do some research soon. I'm just having a difficult time trying to figure out the topic for a history post. Any suggestions are welcome.
