Happiness is..............................

Finishing the first week of digitizing with 7,400 images processed................
Hearing three women in conversation (as they were leaving the research room), "So what gave you the inspiration to ask for your mothers burial records under her maiden name?  Did you know that before this?"  and the answer, "I just felt inspired to ask for her under her maiden name.......that's all".  For those of you who frequent the Family History Center, we know from whence her inspiration came and there is no question what powers are at work here.  It really put a smile on my face when I overheard this conversation.

An apology - to those of you who accessed yesterday's blog and saw the pictures of the artifacts, I have had to take them down.  I did not know that they were not public property.  My apologies to all who saw them, went back to look at them again and did not find them.   Next time I will ask before I put anything up.

We are now up to tome 14 in the archives - and we are pretty proud of ourselves and our efforts.  Perhaps we will be able to increase our output next week.  I am truly grateful to be able to do a mission indoors.  Oh yes it chafes me not to be outside, but this place is reputed to become bitterly cold in Winter - I am the pepto bismal Michelin person already - I wonder how much more cold it can become.......Ah Yes!  A lot colder.

David texted me about not having body wash.  He says if he uses soap that his skin itches.  So he asked me to send him a bottle of body wash - it would cost more than the item's purchase price to send him a bottle so we put some money into an envelope and sent it off yesterday.  Well, snail mail is all it is reputed to be but David is in need now and texted today asking where was the money........I reminded him that he lives 3,000+ miles away and it takes time.............perhaps he will not bathe until the money gets there?????


So happiness is hearing a genealogical find being discussed.......
Sending off some $$ to a son who is in need.................
Getting the first full week of digitizing under our belt...............
A WEEKEND TO RECOVER FROM ALL OF IT   !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
