Trudy, we cross-posted! That quiet house sounds really nice, especially for trying to finish projects, but I can imagine you missing someone to talk with.

Guess I've been MIA a bit but I do remember one lovely day, last Wednesday. We went to a store for my on sale diet Coke and when back in the car DH asked if I wanted to go somewhere. It was a beautiful day, so we went to nearby Lake View where we've spent so much time. We didn't have our...

Somehow this photo must not have been scanned before but it is very nice of DH's grandmother at 16. Credits: Oscraps Collab Live Life plus -stitches: Lazuli Stitches by Blue Flower Art -purple flower (recolored): Lemons from Design by Tina -cluster: Sweet Summer [clusters] by et designs...

How exciting! Love the colors and the masked frames. Nice little touches and what fun photos.

This morning I was freezing but it wasn't really that cold and now it's getting warmer and the sun is shining. The meeting was fine, the board for the computer genealogy group. We made some decisions, but still thinking on a big one. No likelihood of in person meetings till who knows when...

We've had rain yesterday and today here too, but will be drying out soon I think. Nothing more exciting yesterday and I have a Zoom meeting soon but hope this afternoon to get back to the drawing. Chris, good the ankle is OK and you can do it by phone. Good luck with the weather and Nancy...

Kythe, thank you so much! Feels so good to get the Standing O.

I recently found this map through taking a genealogy class and it helped in my research. Moses Eckles Nichols is my great grandfather. I doubt he was ever in the state of New York let alone his father's birthplace of New Windsor. Credits: map of Orange County, NY, 1851, from Library of...

It's a lovely, mostly sunny day, a little cool. This morning was H&S and I did bills, etc., and then to the studio where I actually worked on the new drawing. I found a bit with the words "fear of trouble" that might have been the title, but then I found a perfect bit left over that begins "they...

I love it! They are so cute and it's a fabulous looking page. The mask and frame work perfectly.

Happy Birthday, Sandrine! Hope you're having a wonderful day. :bday

More gray and wet today but still OK. Didn't accomplish much of anything yesterday but had one interesting event. After seeing the movie on the art/photography of Rosamond Wolff Purcell I requested two books on her work from the downtown library. Yesterday they were available at my library for...

Gray and humid today and a little rain has made it more so but cooler. Good day to make more apple nutty bread and maybe see if my studio is not too hot. I actually started a new drawing the other night, the first since March other than birthday cards I think. Lots of other things to do, but may...

It seems like I need more structured days. Last week with class all the time I still managed to post here even if briefly, but this week I've been MIA for some reason. The days have been nice and I continue with the genealogy I started in class. Got to watch our baseball team again last night...

Hot and humid with a little thunder storm just now, but still OK. This morning was H&S and I did the bills and stuff. Then our alternate week grocery trip. I seem to have fallen into a rut with meals though and just get the same stuff, mostly. Still catching up from being "away" last week. We...

It's a beautiful day! I guess it's getting hot but inside is comfy so far. Last night I stayed up very late working on new genealogy ideas and found a record I've wanted for years. Too bad I think it's leading to a conclusion other than what I hoped, but an answer is an answer. This is all...

The Genealogical Research Institute of Pittsburgh (GRIP) is a great opportunity for learning about genealogy in more depth and I've had great times there. This year it went virtual and some of the teachers switched. Lots of frustrations, but it was still super. I'm a happy not-quite-camper...
