In the AEzine, Ali talks about picking a word and reflecting on that word for a whole year...wow...one word for a whole year. I think that would get boring, don't you? On the Katie the Scrapbook Lady blog she talks about a word a month. I'm going to follow Katie and go for one a month. I chose the word simplify because everything seems to be hectic and chaotic around here. Especially this house! I feel like it is all coming in on me...we need to "simplify" the house. I started today...I reorganized my scrapping room. I even threw stuff out...gasp...and there are a few things to be donated and other stuff to go on ebay if I cannot find a good home for them. It felt GREAT getting that done today...now I need to carry this on to the rest of the house! Tomorrow I am going to start in a small section of the bedroom and work from there...I am not expecting it to be done tomorrow but in time my simplification process will be complete. So for today "simplify" means clean and uncluttered.
Jill Ball at GeniAus posted : Accentuate the Positive 2014 Geneameme Here are my answers: 1. An elusive ancestor I found -- Unfortunately, I have not been able to find the parents of Rev. Alvah Russel Rutan but I am hoping that 2015 will bring some great clues on where to look so I can find out who they are. 2. A precious family photo I found was of my Great grandparents. I love this photo of them! On the back are their names in her handwriting!! There is no date either. I think this was taken at their house in Shickshinny, Pennsylvania. 3. An ancestor's grave I found was -- No cemetery exploring for me in 2014 but I will be back out there as soon as it gets nice out again! Unless you count the ones I have been able to find on Findagrave. I have been lucky enough, recently, to have come across a lot of my Houseknecht's headstones on Findagrave along with some new family members that I have been able to add to my tree. (
