I should be writing about my vacation so far. It’s been really great!!
I should be writing about our day spent in Aspen, CO. I’m a long-time John Denver fan and wanted to visit to connect with the place that fed his spirit. I enjoyed the market/street fair that was going on the day of our [...]

Murphy’s Law

Life can be so frustrating sometimes. Here I am, finally getting my feet back under me after the well-intended but unhelpful attempt to terminate hormone replacement therapy, when another stumbling block pops up in my path.
I have no computer! Before you start asking yourself “How honest can that be – she’s writing this post, isn’t [...]
The Things You Learn

I’ve been hunting down my family . . . I mean, my ancestors. I wouldn’t want to give you the wrong idea! When I first began working on genealogy, I started with my husband’s family. They arrived in Massachusetts in 1635 and have been well documented over the years, so they were easy. Then I [...]
Too Tired to Write

The fibro flare I wrote about in my last post is still upon me. I have to force myself to do anything – except eat, which seems to be what I most want to do all the time. It’s not that I’m hungry. I just seem to want to keep my jaws and throat working [...]
Headaches

How time flies when you’re having headaches! I hadn’t realized it was 6 days since I’d posted. Shame on me!
Of course, that got me thinking about why it had been that long. I realized it was due to a number of different headaches.
First, of course, was the headache that came with the fibro flare-up. It [...]
Calling All Cousins: I have a confession to make

I need to make a confession. If you are my cousin, except for a few “lucky” ones, I probably wouldn’t recognize you if I passed you on the street or in the market. It isn’t that my eyesight is that bad. It’s because we never see each other – well, except for the weddings and [...]

I’ve been having a lot of disconnected things I’ve been thinking about, so I decided to throw them all into one post. After all, what’s the point of being eclectic if you can’t write about more than one topic.
I have a doctor’s appointment today – the gynecologist. How’s that for a great way to start [...]
Visions of Ancestors Dance in my Head!

Last year I started compiling information on my husband’s family history. I actually got quite a bit of information from the internet (thanks to the LDS website). We made visits to the National Archives office here in MA and we visited cemeteries and historical societies. I didn’t bother to get documentation because I was doing [...]
Should I feel guilty?
Posted in Day to day, Family history, General, Lakota friends, Spiritual on July 5, 2007 | Comments Off
I often think about how I got involved with my Lakota friends and it brings up so many conflicting thoughts and feelings. Initially, I wanted to help a child in this country who was struggling because of poverty. When I found out that the international agency I first used had children in this country, I decided [...]
Off to Hamilton, MT

We left Missoula, MT this morning and headed to Hamilton, MT to check out some of my husband’s family history. The weather for the morning and late afternoon was mostly cloudy with 100% of the 30% chance of rain in the middle. Gratefully the rain held off while we made our way up the steep [...]
