Folks younger than myself are passing away. A cousin sends obituaries and it’s a full-time task to document the individual, the immediate family, and the extended family. Some… say “cousins by the dozens”; I say “cousins by the thousands.” ~~ Oops, only the Ancestry database is a solo accomplishment. I’m indebted to a cousin with paid subscriptions to newspapers and funeral home information. I acknowledge that my computer skills and genealogy savvy is a God-given gift.

Feels like mid-July.

Question: “Will I ever feel ‘good’ again?”  I’ll spare you a list of health complaints!! PRAISE GOD, MY HEAVENLY FATHER, I awakened to a new day. (Another tree to climb?)

.

Via email, received an obituary; climbed a tree.

Blame it on the heat? Lethargic! Very little information was located for that “Frantz” tree. With more than 3,600 individuals with the “Frantz” surname,  in my Ancestry database, it’s rare to encounter individuals from a uniquely different tree.

I had twenty pictures on this message–scenes captured from the TV screen. On August 26th, 2023, I deleted the pictures hoping it would “free up” space for current pictures.

Brain dead? I “shoulda” created “an album” of pictures. “Blame it on the heat?” Notice the indoor temperature. “Summer” just won’t let go of Texas! Furthermore: No lie, AFib is an occasional new visitor.

The FBI won’t harass this old lady but she, too, gets on her small soapbox and shouts “Make America Great Again.”

SINCERE THANKS to my cousin—and a dear friend—for sharing their information.
