CAUGHT IN THE ACT, YEP I CAUGHT THE VARMINT IN THE ACT, REMEMBER I SAW A RABBIT UNDER THE SPRUCE TREE? WELL LAST NIGHT JUST BEFORE DARK, I HAPPENED TO LOOK OUT MY KITCHEN WINDOW TOWARDS THE OLD DINNER PLATE WHERE I USUALLY PUT THE PEELINGS AND WHATEVER ELSE, AND THERE WAS THE CULPRIT, MY HANDSOME BROWN RABBIT, JUST A MUNCHING AWAY, HE IS A BIG FELLA. I HAVE A DIGITAL CAMERA AND IF EVER I CAN TAKE HIS PICTURE, I SHALL SHOW IT TO YOU, BUT MY CAMERA IS NOT VERY POWERFUL. THE DEER ALSO SHOULD BE SHOWING THEMSELVES SOON AND I AM HOPING TO SEE ONE IN THE FIELD .
NOW BACK TO GENEALOGY , FOR THE ONES WHO READ THIS AND DO NOT KNOW WHAT GENEALOGY IS, WELL IT IS RESEARCHING YOUR ANCESTORS, DOING FAMILY TREES. ONCE YOU GET INTO IT YOU ARE REALLY REALLY ADDICTED, THERE IS NO KNOWN CURE FOR GENEALOGY, I KNOW I HAVE THE ADDICTION, AND THIS IS ONE ADDICTION I DO NOT MIND HAVING AT ALL.
SO IN GENEALOGY THE MIND IS GOING ALL THE TIME, WHERE DID GRANDFATHER GO TO ON SUNDAYS? WAS HE A STRONG MAN? ARE THERE ANY PHOTOS SOMEWHERE OF HIM? MAYBE HE RESEMBLED MY SON? WAS MY GREAT GRANDMOTHER A GOOD SEAMSTRESS? IF SO I SURE DID NOT TAKE AFTER HER HA HA. BUT MY MOTHER TOOK AFTER MY GRANDMOTHER, SHE CAN KNIT , CROCHET, SEW, MY SISTERS CAN KNIT AND SEW, I AM THE ODD ONE , BUT BUT I SURE CAN DO MY GENEALOGY AND THEY HAVEN'T A CLUE , SO I THINK I MAY HAVE A TOUCH OF MY GRANDMOTHER BECAUSE SHE WAS A STORY TELLER, SO IS MY MOTHER, SO I GUESS WE ALL HAVE OUR SPECIAL TALENTS. DID OUR ANCESTORS HAVE DISEASES THAT WERE BROUGHT DOWN TO THEIR DESCENDENTS? YES i DO BELIEVE SO, MY GRANDFATHER DIED OF LUPUS, BUT THEY HAD ANOTHER NAME FOR IT, I LOOKED IT UP AND IT MEANT LUPUS, MOM ALWAYS SAID HE DIED OF KIDNEY DISEASE, NOW MY BROTHER'S SON HAS LUPUS. MY HUSBAND DIED OF ALZHEIMERS DISEASE, THAT IS A VERY HEART WRENCHING DISEASE, AND I SIT HERE AND WONDER IF HIS GRANDMOTHER DIDN'T HAVE ALZHEIMERS, SHE DIED IN AN ASYLUM.
COULD IT BE POSSIBLE? I WONDER. SO IF YOU THINK OF STARTING YOUR GENEALOGY, JUST REMEMBER TO JOT DOWN ALL THE INFO YOU FIND OR HEAR ABOUT YOUR RELATIVES. I DID AND I STILL DO.
HAVE A GREAT DAY.
