Too much stuff ????

This morning I went on an unexpected journey. No, I didn’t leave home; I was exploring hidden treasures in my trailer home. I was dressed and ready to go “if and when”  I received a call from an RV Park resident needing a ride to her doctor. I have a favorite necklace that I usually wear with my attractive black pullover sweater. Several weeks ago, I broke the chain. Today I began searching jewelry boxes and crafts-items boxes looking for a very small “O”-ring.  OMG, I found jewelry items I’d totally forgotten. (The last several years I’ve worn very little jewelry.) But I found a small “O”-ring and managed to reconnect the chain. It is slightly different than original but I doubt anyone will notice. Now I’m excited about occasionally wearing a long-ignored pair of earrings or forgotten necklaces. In one picture, see the several containers with jewelry and crafts items. See the necklace* and I challenge you to find the repair (lol).

*No, that isn’t the “black sweater.” That’s the cover on the back of my easy chair.

Small business: Ancestry !!

In my email messages this morning, an inquiry about possible family relationship. So I searched my Ancestry datbase and I didn’t have her relative. Almost two-thousand individuals with the Frantz surname (in my database) but I didn’t have Otto Adolf Frantz (1859-1945). So I started searching for his family and here I am seven hours later still in my pajamas (and no breakfast or lunch). It is a pleasant eighty degrees outdoors and indoors. I should be outdoors tackling projects!! I found Otto and documented his family. He/they are from a different “tree” but I am always eager to document everyone with the Frantz surname.


Searching for, and documenting individuals takes a lot of time.

Snow in my former hometown

The NBC Today show told the viewers details about the weather in southern California. It was a pleasant surprise to hear the name “Lancaster.” The TV weather report said “snow” but this Internet report lists the cold temperature. An expanded search produced this story, A White Thanksgiving in the High Desert and Palmdale sees rare amount of snow…. In bygone years, I experienced an occasional snow when I lived in the Antelope Valley.
