School Days

Hi all hope your week is going well. Another school year has begun and with 2 in high school now I have been looking back in time to when they first started kindergarten. Time truly does fly!!! God keeps reminding me to enjoy each moment I have with them and to take the time to be with them as much as possible. Now the non fun stuff starts, fall cleaning. Instead of spring cleaning I like to fall clean, with kids in school I can get more done and also pack up all the summer stuff. I guess I'm still on school time---school starts and so does my "homework". After I get everything caught up here at home, I will be returning to my genealogy research. So hopefully I will get back with you quickly and the brick walls will fall.

Have a blessed day

Summer Days

Hello all, just a quick post to let you know that I'm alive. I hope you are having a great summer and getting some things done. I have hit somewhat of a brick wall on the family history research. I can't seem to find any information regarding my great grandfather on my mother's side. His birth father died when he was little and was then raised by his mother and stepfather. I can't even find out much about the stepfather. As you can tell, sometimes I don't have much in the way of patience so I get really frustrated and bummed. Well, laundry duty calls so I will write more later.

Have a blessed day
