Do You Know1. Two sons of the Emerald Isle, Field Marshal Laval Graf Nugent von Westmeath and Colonel Laval Graf Nugent von Westmeath, play vital roles in the mid-19th century national revival in Croatia.1a. The Nugents are the Real Deal: righteous men radiating the highest civil and martial values in peace and war.2. The Nugents, father Laval and son Albert, officially and personally, play decisive roles in the promotion and legitimization of linguistic, cultural, national, and political ideals in Croatia, including (2a) a common language and alphabet for Croats and Serbs, and (2b) the establishment of a Serbia centered Yugoslavia, a constitutional state with the Karadjordjevic dynasty at its head.3. Laval and Albert's comprehensive and determined efforts to save the nationally confused Croats from themselves, sustain the Illyrian Movement, and revive the Croat nation, are often passively or actively opposed by Croatia's Croats.4. Croat opposition to a Revival is especially strong in Croatia's heartland. In Varazdin. In Zagreb's Zagrebacko Polje/Turopolje.5. Croat opposition is even greater in Slavonia, where the Croat name can lead to a stiff kick in the knickers.6. Croat opposition is especially fierce and overwhelming in Osijek, the largest town in Croatia and Slavonia.7. The strongest support for a Croat national revival in Croatia and Slavonia is found in local Serb communities.

The Grandmother's Journal provides a way to record interactions with grandchildren so they will have a record in years to come of fun things you did together. It is rewarding to record your interactions and the writings leave a legacy of your relationships as well as your dreams for his/her life. It provides a written record of your love, affirmation, and dreams for your grandchildren. One granddaughter wrote," Every time my grandmother and I get to see each other, we always sit down and read my book reminiscing about photos and laughing about the funny stories that she has recorded. The book has helped me feel more comfortable and open with her." This granddaughter liked her book so much I zerox the pages as I add them and she keeps them in a folder.The writings challenge me to identify and connect with each grandchild around their interests and talents. It is a privilege to watch their physical and spiritual growth and to anticipate what their lives will look like as they reach adulthood.Praying the scriptures over them is an important part of the journal as I hope in years to come they will realize answers in their lives as a result of the prayers prayed for them.
