We have a corner lot. I could go absolutely bonkers decorating my front yard! Years ago, outdoor decorations consisted of lights around the house, period, the end. I remember our family talking about the color of lights some people used. For instance all blue lights that were so dark it was almost depressing. How about the houses with lights that made it look like it was a house of ill repute?
Organizing ~ Cousins Found
I finally took time yesterday to do something I have been wanting to do for awhile now. It has been several years since I started genealogy and blogging. Many cousins have been found. But, how many? Who? I have not kept any kind of system to log these cousin contacts. I was past due, do I even remember all of them? Well, that was the goal here. I started a spreadsheet of "Cousins Found." I titled columns with things like, phone number, address, email address, surname, how/where we made contact, and if I have met them. I am all about meeting my living cousins and their family members, it does my heart good, plus you never know how long they will be with us. Of course, they may also have information to help us in our genealogy research. I started listing the cousins names I remembered making contact with, those were cousins I generally keep in contact with anyway, so that was easy. Then, sporadically, I would remember someone contacting me on one e-mail address w
Cheryl, you are my kind of gal when it come to Christmas decorations. My son always mumbles something to the effect that "Mom needs her own substation."

Hi Joan, this made me laugh! I so know the feeling! We were going to put the lights up today outside, he was all ready to do it, and it started raining. Bummer, I was hoping to make it today as it is suppose to rain for a few days now. I'd love to see pictures of your lights!
