Thoroughly Thankful Thursday

For approximately one hour, on Monday morning, I reverted to my old habit of genealogy while enjoying my first mug of coffee. (One week without Ancestry was torture.) For Father’s Day, I’d like to give “Mr. Red” the answers regarding his third-great-grandfather. During the night of May 3rd, the dream was so vivid, I arose and quickly scribbled the details (so I wouldn’t “forget”). That scribbled note, at my computer, had been tempting me to “climb the family tree.” On Monday, the search was effortlessand I documented the process with several images. The completed image (below) was attached to several individuals. Here is the comment I added:  One can dream, can’t one? I hoped for valuable new information… The name “James Richard Tiner” was previously unknown to me. Our brain is a miraculous computer and my brain might have “seen” information that I missed.

.

Furthermore: During the process, I had my first experience with the newly released 1950 Federal Census. ~~~ I suspect the reader is sayingor thinkingthe word spoken by one of my neighbors: “Boring, boring.”   (Yes, he said it twice.)

I may not get “a good night’s sleep” (most nights) but I won’t complain about a busy brain.

I love clip art

Repeat: “(One week without Ancestry was torture.) For Father’s Day, I’d like to give “Mr. Red” the answers regarding his third-great-grandfather.” ~~~ In anticipation of an answer to my questions, I searched for appropriate clip art. ~~~

Confession: It has been so discouraging to search for “a piece of the puzzle”  and NOT find it!!

POSTSCRIPT @ 8:00 PM

I worked in the carport until it was “too hot.” Then I fell victim to an old habitthe old addiction!! Yes, I started “climbing the family tree.” I was shocked to see that I added one-hundred-twelve individuals… The new folks were added to family members already documented in my tree. Conservatively, each individualnew and previously documentedreceived five “sources.”

Did you see the image I published at 7:15 this morning?

ECOP

Enforced change of pace.

This tired old lady gets off to a slow start each morning. No pictures this morning but (believe me) it was hot all nightand the air-conditioner was “on” all night. “Change of pace” and “change of mind” for outdoor projectsincluding the removal of pop-tabs in the shade of the carport. I may need to start my day at 6:00 AM?! ~~ Look, eighty-one degrees indoors this afternoonand I’m lethargic while indoors.
