Other activities
“The old lady” works on technical problems, too. Fresh batteries and an alternate setting. Alas, “the old thermometer” hasn’t responded to my resuscitation efforts. (1) New batteries, (2) swapped to a second sensor, (3) worked with settings, (4) pictures of my futile efforts! ~~ “Other activities“: Washed the dishes, washed my hair, took a shower, and prepared Hummingbird nectar.

Hostess ?!
The Hummingbird feeders were empty. I’m in the process of making a double batch of nectar. Since the twelfth, I’ve filled feeders a couple of times!! Perhaps too few flowering plants for Hummingbirds to feed upon? In Livingston, Texas (and North Carolina), I had flowering plants specifically for Hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees. The rose bushes in my yard (Waco) obviously do not provide nectar.
Feels like winter…
Familiar territory !!

Here is a link to my previous milestone regarding individuals in my Ancestry database. ~~ Documenting “my family”—and collateral lines—is easy because the individuals are well documented. I “hit a brick wall” while documenting the ancestors of my RV Park owner-manager, and his wife. I did exhaustive searches and cannot get past their great-grandparents.

Because it was cold outdoors—and indoors—I’ve spent hours at the computer near a space heater!!
Burning the midnight oil !!
While watching–and listening–to TV Church, I was sorting family history paperwork—and other “paper stuff.” I came across a story that I believe needed to be copied to the Internet. Here is a link to the story in my Ancestry.com database: Supercentenarian celebrates her 111th birthday. Hopefully, the reader can access the story because I can’t test the link. (Ancestry recognizes me.) *
Here is a picture of “family history paperwork” that is more than three decades old. One… is dated 19 February 1987. All will go into the trash bin because it has no value. The information is well-documented in my Ancestry.com database.
