True story: If I didn’t have trees to climb and images for my blog, I would have gone crazy these past two years!! By nature, I am a “social butterfly” (and former Queen of a chapter of the Red Hat Society). I get so lonesome for human companionship!! This morning, residents enjoyed the “first Saturday of the month breakfast” in the Clubhouse. I loved every minute of the fellowship!! I saw next-door neighbors for the first time in many months. ~~ (“Truth” about my endless hours on the computer and my state of mind, and the “consequences” if I didn’t have such an entertaining hobby.) ~~

The message from Ancestry greeted me first thing this morning. It took all morning to document the hints surrounding those three individuals.

Cousins by the dozens!! There is never a stopping point

Just one of my many neglected projects. I’m salvaging the “pop tops” for the Ronald McDonald House.

A list of famous descendants of John Alden. A dear friend contacted me with details about her ancestry—and sent the link to a list of famous descendants of John Alden. This topic started with Thanksgiving greetings from a cousin and was discussed in the blog message titled Surprise ancestry information. ~~~~ This winter, residents of the United States may have to experience an austere Pilgrim (or pioneer) lifestyle. Shortages of heating products, etc, etc, but I won’t begin a conversation about political situations. Sincerely, from my heart, “make America great again”  is my prayer and not a political statement.
