Monday Musings…

It is a gorgeous spring day here! I have been running errands this morning and just loving the weather. Funny how I am not in spring cleaning mode though. May be I am just tired.
Today would have been my parents 50th wedding anniversary. They would have had a big party this [...]

Praise God from Whom all blessing flow…

In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance [...]

It’s pretty today!

The forecast was for rain, rain and more rain. It was nice here. I am hoping it was at Mom’s today too, because they were supposed to clean out one of the garages today if it was pretty. But the important thing is hopefully I will be able to get in my two [...]

I loved being a ‘tweener…

Not many people even know what a ‘tweener is. They’ve heard of baby boomers. Children born between 1946-1964.(Some sources say 1960. ) And they have heard of Gen X. (The starting age of children in the Gen X group depends on your source). But between the two were a lost generation, called the ‘tweeners, [...]

Just another manic Wednesday…

I have been singing that song for two weeks, you know, just another Manic Monday.. Oh o Oh. So today I am cleaning house and washing laundry and trying to get ready for the weekend. Maybe I will have time to do some genealogy tonight if I am lucky.
The kids have a project [...]

Home Sing Monday…

Did you know it was Monday already?
Here’s what we are doing this week to make our home sing.
Hubby and I refinanced the house this morning, so we are now going to enjoy a lower interest rate, fewer payments, no PMI and college money in the bank. (at least the crappy economy was good for something)
Kids [...]

Researching, Organization, or Are You Prepared to be Overwhelmed?

Yesterday I worked on one ancestor Wiley Brown, who is the husband on Keziah Gambill, who I posted on Saturday’s Story. I went through one index roll and found about 15 deeds for him (and probably her for those following) covering 7 rolls of microfilm.
Now I figure if I do a really good job [...]

The Trip of a Lifetime…

In this month’s issue of EC Magazine was a survey of things teenagers don’t want to do on spring break. Personally they are a check list of perfect family trips for the genealogist.
Family Reunion
Trip to Grandma’s rural home town
Battlefields
Cemeteries while mom builds family tree

just to name a few. It’s true, when I was [...]

Ten Whole Glorious Days….

We are off for spring break! Yes, I have ten whole glorious days to do absolutely nothing! Came home tonight and fell asleep reading my latest book The Red Tent. This book is rather odd and I am not sure I want to admit online that I am reading it. It’s about the [...]
