For this year’s A to Z Challenge I am posting an event involving someone in my family tree for that date. It may be a birth, a death, a christening, a journal entry, a letter or a newspaper article. If the entry is a news item, it will be transcribed immediately below. Click on photographs to enlarge in another window.

I had a difficult time finding an item for April 29. My family seems to have skipped that date. Or perhaps just made no record of happenings. Then I remembered that for several years I have done the National/Global Poetry Writing Month along with the A to Z Challenge. There had to be some poems written on the 29th. There were. I chose the one below.

I almost forgot today's poem.
Lying in bed, writing
on my phone.
Still enough light to see the sky,
trees silhouetted.
The light from the
office reflects on the window.
I get up and snap
a photo.
Done.
