…too many hours “climbing the family tree”  limits hours of sleep? Twelve consecutive hours yesterday, I was immersed in research of the family of a new-found cousin. Frankly, it was so cold outdoors (and indoors), I ignored my discomfort by focusing on documenting her family. I didn’t get three hours of sleep last night. So I was “up” before 4:00 AM and continued searching and documenting.

If you have been following my blog, you know I have been involved with projects in preparation for a move. It “feels like” I haven’t done family history for weeks. I experienced sleep loss (in the past) when obsessed with documentation. Last night’s lack of sleep is reminiscent of those earlier experiences. “Safe to say”  too much time on the computer disrupts the ability to experience a good night’s sleep?

Last night, for the absolute first time, I watched the Jimmy Fallon Tonight Show. Why? Because the show originated from Austin, Texas. I enjoyed this new experience (but I won’t “follow” the show).

Indoor projects?! Perhaps I’ll be able to “climb the family tree”? The TV meteorologist says “Cold and rain moving in.”  Our Texas weather is mild compared to many states “up North.” No complaint from me.

Neuschwanstein Castle: Been there, done that. Golden Gate Bridge: Lived there, saw that.

Pretty bottles looking for a new home.

Can I safely say “You can take the girl out of the garden but you can’t take the garden out of the girl” ??

“In case” I have another garden; “in case” we have freezing temperatures; an assortment of “covers” was packed into the storage box with bird feeders and other garden paraphernalia.

Yesterday, gallons of water (to wash bottles). Today, the fire to eliminate the unsightly limbs.
