And, here's a Standing O for you!

So perfect I just have to give you a Standing O! Sorry for the delayed notice. I typed it but didn't send it. Silly me!

Yeah, then add 2 for junior high and high school and 5 more for colleges and universities, usually as an honor student because I started school in the number 1 schools in the nation at the time and had a good foundation because they were all on the same page as far as academics and test schools...

If any of you have ever followed the series "Who Do You Think You Are?" you know I'm not being cheeky. I have watched it diligently and now get the British version of the magazine on Kindle Unlimited. Interestingly, there are probably only 3 of the American segments that I have not found a...

We must chat in the genealogy thread! I have tracked the OK Bray back to GAm but have not verified where they were before I found them there in Calhoun, Gordon County in 1859. Wouldn't that be a hoot. Maybe someone really wants to be found!!

Thanks so much @Betty Jo! I love to write. Must be why I'm an historian, right?

Trudy, I am humbled and blessed! Thank you!

I know I haven't been here for awhile. Life has just been a bit hectic. It finally slowed down this weekend but it's fixin' to heat up again. We start all the year end activity to get the books closed then end of June. It's exhausting to close the books for the month, do the year end...

WOW! What a stunning wreath! Beautifully executed!

This is a wonderful, artistic collage! The attention to detail is just amazing.

Pocket scrapping at its finest. Lilach's templates ARE wonderful but what you did with the template is amazing!

Betty Jo, I love the effects on that wonderful photo. There's no really anything else I can say - what do you say to perfection?

Perfection is right! This LO is wonderful on all the levels above.

Congratulations on your Standing O! You so very much deserve it for this perfect LO.

Cheryl, your LO sparkles! It feels and looks like spring. I love it!

What a sweet photo, Sharon! Fantastic use of negative space and colors. Great composition!

Waiting for the ship to return or a sad goodbye? This works either way. I could imagine my soms' Mayflower ancestors as they left England - most never to return to loved ones there. Beautifully done!

What a fabulous collage! I love the bright, bold, beautiful colors, the composition, and all the swirls.

Miki! That aerial shot is amazing! What a wonderful trip that must have been!
