A package arrived in the mail. I was eager to see the contents. I slowly unwrapped… and had an appreciation for the careful packaging. A “non-relative” found the Bible among books donated to a library and (quite possibly) went to great lengths to try to locate a descendant. In response to an earlier email message, I wrote: “No, the spouse is not on my branch of the tree but I’ll see if I can locate a descendant.”  Here’s a link to Margaret Emily Reynolds Frantz in my Ancestry.com database. ~~ Almost the entire day devoted to attaching this material to the immediate family. An email message sent to “cousins” hoping they will “spread the word” and put me in touch with a descendant. “Another view…”  because NOT my traditional data entry.

Yesterday the heat returned (for a day). Another “cold front” arriving so we will enjoy cooler weather through the weekend.

.

“No news” for about half an hour. No NBC Today show and no Internet. Light rain and cooler temperature is “good news.”

.

“Shock”  to “the old lady”!! I’ve been wearing a sweater “indoors” and a jacket when I went “outdoors.” A/C yesterday and furnace today. Correction: No furnace today because the furnace isn’t working!! (Remember, I paid for repairs last Winter.) Forty (40) degrees drop in temperature in twenty-four hours!! Burr-r-r.

Note: Day and date corrected on the indoor/outdoor thermometer.  🙂

Slanket time!!

Twenty-nine hours and counting.

Will begin to bring you up-to-date. ~~ Oct 10th, 2013

“Forgive”  yes, but hard for me to “forget.”

Wednesday night (above) Thursday morning (below).

No, not the family on the soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful.

“Forrester” defined Lorraine style: Old lady climbing family trees.

The fact that I can plant a seed and it becomes a flower, share a bit of knowledge and it becomes another’s, smile at someone and receive a smile in return, are to me continual spiritual exercises. – Leo Buscaglia

You don’t have a garden just for yourself. You have it to share. – Augusta Carter

What a man takes in by contemplation, that he pours out in love. – Meister Eckhart

Quite by accident (7 Oct 2019), I discovered some of my research notes were “saved” on twenty-two Ancestry Member Family Trees (from my Ancestry tree to their Ancestry tree).

With cooler weather, I’m making progress “downsizing.” All morning moving things from point A to point B.

Three days and counting!! My nose to the grindstone; no Ancestry.com.

5:20 PM: TV meteorologist said April 20th was last time we had temperature this cool. *FIVE-plus MONTHS.*

The picture does NOT show how many bites and how red they appear.
