Time Off

As you see, I took the Thanksgiving weekend off... no blogs.

Although unexpected and just by the luck of the draw as it were, Richard actually had Thanksgiving day OFF! We had a wonderful time with Athena and Brian as we joined them at their friends' home out in the country. The food was delicious and the conversations stimulating and warm. It was a very special day we will always enjoy remembering.

Unlike most of America, we did not shop Friday or Saturday. Yesterday, we picked up a few needed groceries and some ink for my printer, but other than that, we avoided the stores and the crowds. I don't do well with either and in combination, they destroy my focus completely. But then, I've never been one to endure the crush of the crowd just to seek a bargain.

I was thrilled to receive another genealogy file for a branch of the family I had little info on. Also, my research has verified some very interesting kin folk and details. I would never have guessed that this venture would be so exciting... or so frustrating! I highly recommend seeking your roots and as many stories about your family as you can find.

There is one story I know you can find, your OWN! Others will want to read it; you may want to read it! Write it now while you can still remember it. I say this because there is so much of my own story I can't remember now.
