August Ruminations

Terry Thornton, the original H.O.G.S. blogger and Graveyard Rabbit, passed away August 9.  R.I.P., Terry--and thanks for all I learned from you.

August Accomplishments
  • I completed and ordered my third non-genealogy blog book from Blurb.
  • My fourth, fifth, and sixth blog books will be finished in time for Blurb's next special.
  • I cleaned up the top of my desk!
And in the other column . . .
  • Twenty-eight days in August lacked a post at Before My Time. 
  • The other three days, including today, got slacker posts!

About Me

My Photo
I was probably 14 when I read about genealogy in Reader's Digest. I went straight to my grandmother and pressed her to tell me all she knew. I took notes on a piece of scrap paper with a purple ballpoint pen. But I didn't know how to organize the information, so I lost interest until 1986, when I came upon blank pedigree charts and family group sheets at a bookstore. The rest is history, lots of it, and I'll share some with you here...
