Look what we found today!!


Meg...the chocolate lab...was driving me nuts the other day when we were outside. There is a hole with a screen window covering it in the foundation of our house and she kept going over to it and carrying on...I thought she was NUTS! Then today Jason went to take the dogs out and something caught his eye...a kitten (the white and brown 0ne) was sitting by the screen. So he calls me outside and tells me to leave Meg in the house...what the heck. He tells me to go over to the screen and get my damn kitten! Whe I went over there were two there....one of the dark ones and the white one. So...he takes the screen away and of course they ran away to hide. He goes in the house and comes out with cat food and milk! He sits the stuff by the hole and we wait...about ten minuets or so...mommy kitty comes and eats and wants us to pet her. Then the babies come out one by one. Jason says I hope that is all there are...at this point there were two and then we saw another dark one...so there are three...hopefully that is all. They were out there playing most of the afternoon and all I saw was three of them. So now I need kitty names. I think we will probably try to get rid of one or two of them...Jason really likes the white and brown one. We have not been able to get close enough to them to pet them yet. Hunter is on vacation with his dad so I cannot wait until he gets home and sees them!

Stitching Update…Lots of pics

  LHN Family Sampler (excuse my crooked house…not sure why it looks like that) American Flag Quilt Sampler by Rosewood Manor.  I love stitching on this; I did however run out of the Brethren Blue.  I decided to put this down for a little while and have picked up the family sampler again. A close up! HAED Natures Mourning.  I have not worked on this in a while.  I plan to stitch on LHN Family Sampler until Friday and then work on this next. Last but not least is a little freebie that I did before Christmas.

Family Sampler Update

I was hoping to get more done on this this past week but another trip to the ER on Wednesday night did not leave much time for stitching.  I was very dehydrated and my potassium was low and I found out that I have a UTI.  I was really surprised about the UTI because I did not have the normal symptoms.  The antibiotic has really been helping.  I was not feeling well and just laying on the couch but then I got dizzy and fell so Jason had to come home from work and take me to the ER.  Yesterday was the first that I really spent any time stitching but I did get a lot done.  I switched to my HAED Nature’s Mourning for this week.  So far today I have gotten a lot done.  Hopefully this week I will stay healthy and want to cross stitch. Enjoy your week! Happy Stitching!!

5 Tips to Break Down Your Brick Wall

Originally posted at Lost Tree Project as a guest post February 2019. Eventually we all hit a brick wall.  My first brick wall was with Joseph Thomas {my husband's 3rd great grandfather} I spent months searching.  Brick walls can last weeks to months to years.  Below are some quick tips to help you break through that brick wall. Research another ancestor for a while and then go back to your brick wall .  You will see your brick wall ancestor with new eyes. Use a checklist to see if you missed any records.  {You can find my Evernote Research Checklist in my shared genealogy notebook.} Revisit your research.  Maybe you missed a piece of information in a document.  Maybe something seemed like it wasn't important but now that you have more information you find it is important. Learn something new.  It does not need to be genealogy related.  When you shift your thinking to something else and then go back to the brick
