It is going to be going to 74 today, hurray! The spring bulbs are starting to sprout under the dead leaves and the trees are budding. I'll be spring cleaning outside today and start getting the gardens ready for the new season. I can sit out on the deck again, I got the chairs out of storage. Maybe…
Today, the weather is typical for this summer, hot and humid. It feels like we're in Florida, whatever happened to the Great White North?? It's going to be 91 today and 92 tomorrow. The dew point right now is 81 and the heat index is already 95 and it's 9 am! The Annual Pig Roast is hosted by my da…
I stayed up most of the night last night, my husband's scanner has been buzzing non-stop from 3:30 am, his brother is DeputyFire Chief and they have been out full force since the power went out here. My husand's uncle, the Chief of the Fire Dept., wasn't able to get out of the area he lives in. Fort…
I can't get in the side door, Home Depot delivered all of the lumber that we need to replace the back fence, rebuild the back deck and finish the front porch yesterday. He dropped it right across the driveway so now the kitchen entrance is blocked as a result. Oh well, it'll be easier to get the d…
The end of the week is here already and I have a lot more yard work to do. It's going to be raining and colder this weekend and next week so today is my last chance to get in as much clean-up as I can. I am going to clean up the front gardens today, just pull out the dead annuals and prune the winte…
It's finally warm and dry enough to get outside and start some spring clean-up. The snow is finally gone and it is going to a sunny 60 degrees this afternoon. As a matter of fact, the weather is going to be great all week, no rain expected until Saturday evening. I'm going to open the windows and ge…
Breaking my wrist had put my spring cleaning goals on hold for a while, but my cast is off and I am getting more strength in my wrist everyday. I am ready to get back at it, so I'm going to start by cleaning my woodwork in the living-dining room and preparing it for a fresh coat of paint.
We already…
The snow we got here yesterday brought the season totals up to average, now we can get spring going anytime now. I am starting to get tired of the cold weather. I get my cast off of my wrist in two days, so it should be in good shape in time for getting the garden going.
After I get my cast off…
I finally got my Rootsmagic site back up and running, after being off since last spring. I have to do some more editing, to get it the way I want it, but it's there. I'm going to be doing some experimenting with the css file, instead of editing every page. Maybe I'll even change it altogether, if I …
I have lots of time to think about what I want to do this spring since I broke my left wrist skating a few weeks ago, about 3 more weeks. I have been giving a lot of thought to the colour scheme of my living-dining room and have decided that I would like to go green this year, maybe an updated sage…
I am doing some redecorating and some clean-up on my site today. I changed the theme picture for Valentine's Day. I don't think I'm going to change the background though.
I have been doing some baking in the past couple of weeks, learning some new recipes and techiques. I started making my own pasta…
Christmas 2007
Well, it's almost time to drag the Christmas tree out of the closet and get it growing. I'm deciding on how I'm going to decorate the tree this year, maybe get some new garland, I used ribbon for a garland last year, and pearl beads the year before. One year I had dried flowers mad…
I wish I had more time to spend blogging, I currently have five genealogy blogs, if I count my Daily Log page here, one hobby blog, a store blog and a history blog. Oh yeah, there's my profile blog on Yuku too and my Windows Live Journal blog and the Family Reunion blog. So, I have a few, lol. And t…
Christmas is coming faster than ever this year, the stores had their Christmas displays out before Halloween and the Christmas sales have already started. The economy is to blame for it, the sales are down so the stores have to start getting people in the mood for holiday spending earlier.
We don'…
The sun is shining through the bare branches and the leaves are crisp on this Friday afternoon. I haven't accomplished much of anything today, just relaxing and taking it easy. I'm not feeling the best, I've had a headache since last night. I hope I feel better tomorrow, the housework is piling up, …
I can't believe I haven't blogged on here for months, I have been so busy on other blogs and with daily life that my homepage has been forgotten. I have had major surgery this summer and a month ago I had Bell's palsy, which I'm still recovering from.
There hasn't been much to write about, not much…
I am redecorating my website, I thought a new theme might be interesting, so I picked this theme, which is a dark theme too, but it is a bit more colourful than the one I had been using. It is one or two column. I have some tweaking to do and I'l be adding more boxes.
I've been busy setting up a couple more websites, my family website, at FamilyLobby.com and a genealogy group there as well. My family site has had a few visitors, and some family have stopped by, also. I have quite a few custom pages on it, and I've figured out how to link some custom pages to my o…
I am really starting to get into blogging, It's a great way to share interests and information and almost every website has it's own blog these days.
I have been creating two new blog sites on Blogger, one for my family history researching called 'Ancestral Notes' where I am posting stories about …
I have started making a Research Workbook online to backup my data in an easily accessible fashion.. I'm going to have all of my files in it that I have gathered in my last couple of years of research. I am arranging the book so that there are different sections for all of my ancestors and a little…
