We had a family emergency late last week. My mom fell and broke her left hip. Between that event, the approach of Christmas holidays, and finishing up year end tasks at work so I can take the last week of the year off, I really didn’t expect to have a blog out this week.

2018 – Under Construction
Wow!!! 2017 passed so quickly!!! I guess it really is true that time flies faster as you age. Lots of things happened in 2017. It was sort of like a roller coaster ride. My spare time is limited. So I’ve done a lot of weighing my options during the month of December. I’ve spent aContinue reading “2018 – Under Construction”

I’ve always loved history, especially my own family history. It’s sad that people’s stories get lost over time. All of my grandparents are gone and I know that there are lots of stories that I never got to hear. I lost my Dad in 1997. I heard lots of his stories. But when I lostContinue reading “Embracing Ancestry.com and then running from it”
Why DO we have eyebrows?

Looking intently into their eyes while they’re speaking and then all of the sudden just have a random crazy thought ricochet through your mind. Mine was “I wonder what they would look like without eyebrows?” This popped into my head a fewContinue reading “Why DO we have eyebrows?”
