My Favorite Season

I have a favorite season
Years ago I'd have chosen two
Summer and winter it would have been
Now winter will have to do.

Back when summer was included
I was a lot younger then
Swimming was a favorite
The pool was close to our den.

Twenty years I've had a pool
No matter where I've been
Another ten without a pool
But a large spa has filled in.

The times oh how they have changed 
 I find I have gotten much older
It is clearly now I despise the heat
I really prefer it being colder.

Winter has always been my favorite
I'm sure Christmas is one reason
Another may have something to do
With it being a crafty season.

I have fond memories of watching it rain
Making everything outside glisten.
While sitting inside by the Christmas tree
Records of old crooners I would listen.

Snow is a favorite for many people
But it is to bright for me to see,
Some like to ski or make a snowman
But keep the snow away from me!

My favorite is the rain, although
I enjoy a clap of thunder or two
Lightening keeps the mind alert
Of what can happen to you.

I am basically a romantic I suppose
I say let it be cold and rainy
I'll stay in the house with a fire going
Snuggling is a no brain-y.



Thanks for stopping by! 

Wishing you success in all of your genealogical treasure hunts!

Organizing ~ Cousins Found

Image
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...

#31 WBGB ~ Week 11 ~ Come Up with 10 Post Ideas

Image
I am following  Tonia's Roots  as she brings several GeneaBloggers through 31 weeks of working towards a better blog, prompts written by Darren Rowse.  Here is this weeks challenge adapted from Darren Rowse's daily challenges which Tonia is doing as weekly challenges: Ever run out of things to write about on your blog? If your answer is yes – you’re not alone. This weeks's task is to do an exercise that will identify a range of post ideas that you can use when stuck for an idea in future. The key with this process is not to put yourself under pressure to come up with completely new and out of the blue ideas for every post you write. Instead – this process taps into what you’ve recently written on your blog and helps you to identify ways to extend those ideas. Here’s the mind mapping method that I’ve used (note: I’ve talked about this previously so it could be familiar to some). 1. The Set Up Get a whiteboard, piece of paper, note book, tablet pc or some...

Sentimental Sunday ~ Western Union Telegram

Image
Do you remember telegrams? Western Union Telegrams were a bit before my time. I have scanned the few that were kept and received by my paternal family back in the day.  This telegram was sent to my grandmother from Obed Olson stating his brother Philip had passed away on Wednesday March 9, 1960. It also let the family know that the funeral services were to be on Saturday at 2:00pm at Coop Mortuary in Hibbing, Minnesota. The telegram was to be received by Friday (which would have been March 11) and the funeral with the funeral being the next day I highly doubt my grandparents made if from California to Minnesota for the funeral. Philip and Obed Olson were my first cousin once removed. Unfortunately, I never met either of them.
