Thank you, for visiting.

29 January 2011

Well, we were back at work this week. After nearly two weeks with the flu; it is a very good feeling to be able to get out of the house.
One thing I was able to do between naps, while at home recovering — was a bit more research of Aunt Betty Jean Davis Abernathy ancestral tree.
Many of the folks lived, died, and are buried near Robbinsville, (now) Graham County, North Carolina.
There is at least one line from her ancestors who had ties back to the Abbeville, SC area — this is one line I will have to follow up my investigations –it may tie in with the McKay/Mackey/Key/Kay folks that are already in my EXTENDED family tree data.
If I can get my latest GEDCOM to upload properly to Rootsweb — I should have a better overall idea of what information I need to verify, add to, or correct.
Plus I should be able to email a link to a cousin near Asheville, and ask him if he could relay a print-out to Aunt Betty, for me.
Will write when I know more.
The tree(s) are getting more complex, but I am finding answers about some mysteries that have lingered for years.
Which is always a good thing.
Take care.

Hot Day

7 July 2010
One very hot day.
Dave and I delivered groceries to Mom; then headed back home.
Stopped at a few thrift/antique stores along the way.
Since getting in the AC, and starting to cool off, have been reading messages, and adding/correcting more items on my websites (somewhat set in havoc by my previous computer dying); as well as blogs, and misc. stuff.
Need to get things sorted out with this new laptop, get it behaving the way I want it; so I will be able to create a backup set of RECOVERY disks — then get Dave to set it for dual-boot (Windows 7 and Linux).
My head is pounding, so I won’t do much more for now.
How has your week been?
Would love to hear from my readers.

Death of a computer…a new beginning

(Take two…)
Attempted this post just but a few minutes ago — stepped away from the keyboard — came back the automatic Windows 7 update had re-started my computer. [growl!]
I lost all the text I had written (now have settings a bit different, to prevent this problem from occurring again) — I hate having to re-write things when software/OS updates cause me to lose them.
——————–­——
Now, where was I?
Ahhh, heck — I think I’ll do something else and come back to this post. There are things needing to be added, set-up; and yet to be test-driven on this computer.
I promise to return – soon.
“And to continue…”
