RN, I recently had to tape some stamps on several envelopes and all were delivered properly, so, good luck, Abby!

If you have to tape stamps on, then make sure you leave the middle part open, so the machines can read the phosphor.

RN - I know what you mean Ladytex. It's snowing & on the way to the groc. the thermostat in the car said it was 29 outside. boo cold here it is!
I get tickled when we get a cold spell here because some folks go to the groc. like they're expecting to be holed up for an extended time. Gosh, it's only going to be like this for a day or 2 - why don't folks watch or read the forcast?

RN I feel like I've hit the lottery. My father's aunt (by marriage) is cleaning house and has given to me and my father massive trunkloads of family photographs/documents/scrapbooks/memorabilia that were collected by my great-grandmother. My father's father died very young, and but for a ring, we have nothing that ever belonged to him. The only reason we have an idea of what he looked like is because I found two pictures of him about 10 years ago. For the most part, these trunks have been sealed up tight and in storage since Grandmommy died about 40 years ago. And she was a packrat. We've already come across too many new things to start listing, but my favorites are a button from an ancestor's civil war uniform and finding out that my father was a junior. He just found out at the age of 71 that he was in fact named after his father and the hospital screwed up the spelling of his middle name, so he never went by junior. It seems like a minor thing, but to my dad it was shocking and touching.

RN I can't wait to get home and start going through all these things. I'm probably going to have to go visit some ancient relatives in deep-southern Illinois to identify some of the photographs, but I'm really looking forward to that too.

For a genealogist, this represents a personal motherlode. I can't possibly tell my great-aunt how grateful I am. And RN I'm trying to figure out how to keep my dad's sister from being really, really mad that we got these things instead of her.

RN, Schoolmarm, much of the information in the trunks concerns our mutual family history. I'll be sure to let you know what I find out.

RN snow! holeycats Ladysis. Our weather is not cold enough for snow, but the wind will cut you to pieces. I cannot even see out my windows for the fog.(they're not very good windows)

RN GAL, that is awesome! I'm very happy for you. My grandfather named his oldest son junior, and junior's name was misspelled on his birth certificate, too. Hopefully your aunt will understand that it was your greataunt's decision and right to give them to you.

RN Gracie, I'm pretty sure great-aunt gave them to us because I've been very clear that I consider family artifacts to belong to the family as a whole, and wasn't particularly interested in ownership of property, only in gathering information to share with everyone. I'll make sure my aunt receives the items that an only granddaughter should have from her grandmother, such as her wedding gloves.

RN: I'm PO'd that I'm stuck on my computer TRYING TO BREAK THE DAMN THING (I'm, apparently, the only one with our software installed who can't get it to blue screen). And so I'm sitting here, trying to get ye olde BSOD and failing. And missing a dear friend's big 3-0 birthday party!

Right now I was sort of wondering while reading GAL's post if the ancient relatives in southern Illinois would include Schoolmarm, and sure enough it will. Yay!!! I still think it is totally bizarre that GAL and Schoolmarm are related and found each other at the clubhouse.

RN it was even weirder, Juj. Schoolmarm was my first TVCH meet, and our common ancestors are about seven generations back. Outside of a genealogy seminar or library, I've rarely met someone who could rattle off seven generations of ancestors. Mix that times first TVCH meet and no idea to that point that we were related, and her just mentioning she had my last name in her family history and was familiar with the research, and the fact that I was at that point researching that line of my family and knew for a fact that her ancestral line matched mine back to ol' Benjamin. Weirdness all around. That stuff happens quite frequently in genealogy, just a weird confluence of events that make your hair stand on end.

RN I'm hoping Pamy and Bill had a wonderful date night, complete with happy ending.

RN I'm confused - how do you attach those bunny ears so they look like they're growing out of the bunny, and how in da hayell do you tie-dye eggs?

RN Supergranny, you are so right.
