Last Notes npub19cseq4keq8s9pxlnvmkkfge4pnyfs60q6rzljzxwehapgp7ld5csywm0pn Forest Fern @nprofile…mvqa npub19cseq4keq8s9pxlnvmkkfge4pnyfs60q6rzljzxwehapgp7ld5csywm0pn Forest Fern I think AI "art" is the velvet paintings of this decade. npub19cseq4keq8s9pxlnvmkkfge4pnyfs60q6rzljzxwehapgp7ld5csywm0pn Forest Fern A slice of happiness I need, maybe you do, too. I can almost hear her racing through those crunchy dead leaves. npub19cseq4keq8s9pxlnvmkkfge4pnyfs60q6rzljzxwehapgp7ld5csywm0pn Forest Fern Watching Artemis II return back home to Earth was breathtaking. I was so nervous for them, and so relieved to see all of them exit the capsule. npub19cseq4keq8s9pxlnvmkkfge4pnyfs60q6rzljzxwehapgp7ld5csywm0pn Forest Fern #SilentSunday npub19cseq4keq8s9pxlnvmkkfge4pnyfs60q6rzljzxwehapgp7ld5csywm0pn Forest Fern @nprofile…nk8a This will be my first one ever so I hope I pick some good speakers. npub19cseq4keq8s9pxlnvmkkfge4pnyfs60q6rzljzxwehapgp7ld5csywm0pn Forest Fern @nprofile…nk8a I hope to join. I need to put together a schedule for myself. Quickly. I reviewed the offerings when they first released them but haven't been back yet. npub19cseq4keq8s9pxlnvmkkfge4pnyfs60q6rzljzxwehapgp7ld5csywm0pn Forest Fern @nprofile…nk8a So true. The enormous amount of information available now compared to when I began researching in 1997-98 is striking. Back then, my head was in the books more than the computer, something that I see myself returning to once again now that I have more details on past research. npub19cseq4keq8s9pxlnvmkkfge4pnyfs60q6rzljzxwehapgp7ld5csywm0pn Forest Fern @nprofile…nk8a Yes, finally solved one of the loose ends. You're right, it felt good. There are several more that I keep picking at, when I can. As for the tombstone, I will never add a line because it was decided back then, by both the great-grandmother and her children, one of which was my grandmother. I wouldn't want to dishonor their decisions. It's not my place. npub19cseq4keq8s9pxlnvmkkfge4pnyfs60q6rzljzxwehapgp7ld5csywm0pn Forest Fern @nprofile…nk8a I like & dislike not knowing where someone went & what became of them. I recently discovered location & eventual demise of ancester who bailed out on family & started new life. He is buried elsewhere, but his first family placed his name on the tombstone. I asked older members why & was told she probably didn't want people to know he left & hopefully talk would stop (except for few of us great-grandkids still talking). Each time I see that grave, I think about him not being there. npub19cseq4keq8s9pxlnvmkkfge4pnyfs60q6rzljzxwehapgp7ld5csywm0pn Forest Fern @nprofile…nk8a I thought it was interesting to see what else is being mined and where. I really never thought about mining too much before now when we spoke, except for one coalmining ancester who traveled from the Midlands of England, to Wales then Pennsylvania before finally Michigan. I always try to get inside their heads aa ro historical events and their decisions to move. npub19cseq4keq8s9pxlnvmkkfge4pnyfs60q6rzljzxwehapgp7ld5csywm0pn Forest Fern @nprofile…nk8a Yes. Coal was mined from Jackson, west and north, as well as northeasterly into the Thumb. npub19cseq4keq8s9pxlnvmkkfge4pnyfs60q6rzljzxwehapgp7ld5csywm0pn Forest Fern @nprofile…nk8a My ancestors were mainly drawn to MI for the land for farming, some for coal mining (after having left Pennsylvania), and others for lumber industry. npub19cseq4keq8s9pxlnvmkkfge4pnyfs60q6rzljzxwehapgp7ld5csywm0pn Forest Fern @nprofile…nk8a Thank you for this. I never knew the full meaning, really, until you provided more info. I have (!) encountered Gretna Green destinations in my research, mainly Steuben, Indiana for SE Mich couples in my family. npub19cseq4keq8s9pxlnvmkkfge4pnyfs60q6rzljzxwehapgp7ld5csywm0pn Forest Fern @nprofile…nk8a npub19cseq4keq8s9pxlnvmkkfge4pnyfs60q6rzljzxwehapgp7ld5csywm0pn Forest Fern @nprofile…nk8a Very interesting travels! As for Gretna Green, I wonder if that would be primarily a Scottish tradition? npub19cseq4keq8s9pxlnvmkkfge4pnyfs60q6rzljzxwehapgp7ld5csywm0pn Forest Fern @nprofile…nk8a A question for you, if you don't mind, where did your family tree members arrive when they left Europe and the U.K.? I noticed the early 1800s on some of your writings, which coincides with two of my branches. Also, do I remember correctly they ended up in Pennsylvania to start? Mine came through New York State (pre-Ellis Island) & the Holland Land Co. via Erie Canal to the Buffalo Area in 1835-ish. npub19cseq4keq8s9pxlnvmkkfge4pnyfs60q6rzljzxwehapgp7ld5csywm0pn Forest Fern Early Edition npub19cseq4keq8s9pxlnvmkkfge4pnyfs60q6rzljzxwehapgp7ld5csywm0pn Forest Fern @nprofile…nk8a I look forward to seeing your family history pop up on here. I enjoy reading about them. npub19cseq4keq8s9pxlnvmkkfge4pnyfs60q6rzljzxwehapgp7ld5csywm0pn Forest Fern @nprofile…nk8a Oh dear. There was a lot of turmoil there for everyone involved. npub19cseq4keq8s9pxlnvmkkfge4pnyfs60q6rzljzxwehapgp7ld5csywm0pn Forest Fern @nprofile…nk8a This family history was interesting. Really sad though. Some families go through so much, and we only get a peek into it through records. npub19cseq4keq8s9pxlnvmkkfge4pnyfs60q6rzljzxwehapgp7ld5csywm0pn Forest Fern Beautiful blue sky. It was all I needed for me to go on an enjoyable and leisurely country drive. npub19cseq4keq8s9pxlnvmkkfge4pnyfs60q6rzljzxwehapgp7ld5csywm0pn Forest Fern America's Test Kitchen. It's one of my comfort TV shows. npub19cseq4keq8s9pxlnvmkkfge4pnyfs60q6rzljzxwehapgp7ld5csywm0pn Forest Fern @nprofile…nk8a Thank you. Two good ones, plus one blah one: three is the, "I tried" (as in also I tried turning the day around). Agreed: Let's hope tomorrow is better! npub19cseq4keq8s9pxlnvmkkfge4pnyfs60q6rzljzxwehapgp7ld5csywm0pn Forest Fern #3goodthings npub19cseq4keq8s9pxlnvmkkfge4pnyfs60q6rzljzxwehapgp7ld5csywm0pn Forest Fern @nprofile…nk8a In my research, war may have contributed to language of a (occupied) country. npub19cseq4keq8s9pxlnvmkkfge4pnyfs60q6rzljzxwehapgp7ld5csywm0pn Forest Fern @nprofile…nk8a Oh wow, the father only in church has piqued my interests! I recall finding in the Swiss region, a father-only, entry in the church record. At the time I wondered if the mother survived (but don't recall verifying the dates), but now I need to go back because I wonder if it's because of the church laws, like you mentioned. npub19cseq4keq8s9pxlnvmkkfge4pnyfs60q6rzljzxwehapgp7ld5csywm0pn Forest Fern @nprofile…nk8a Interesting to learn of the Mary connection. That makes sense to my family and their religious upbringing. I have found my Lena and Magdalena women in both my French-Swiss, and my Czech families. Mostly the French-Swiss though. I'm looking forward to going back and rereviewing names. npub19cseq4keq8s9pxlnvmkkfge4pnyfs60q6rzljzxwehapgp7ld5csywm0pn Forest Fern Cheesy soap operas. npub19cseq4keq8s9pxlnvmkkfge4pnyfs60q6rzljzxwehapgp7ld5csywm0pn Forest Fern @nprofile…nk8a Interesting but heartbreaking, too. I am always pleased to discover offspring who continue on and are responsible for us being here. 💗 npub19cseq4keq8s9pxlnvmkkfge4pnyfs60q6rzljzxwehapgp7ld5csywm0pn Forest Fern @nprofile…gact Ooh, potstickers! I haven't had those in a long time. npub19cseq4keq8s9pxlnvmkkfge4pnyfs60q6rzljzxwehapgp7ld5csywm0pn Forest Fern @nprofile…gact I love your number two! Got a chuckle out of that one because you sound like what I'm doing (or not doing) over here. npub19cseq4keq8s9pxlnvmkkfge4pnyfs60q6rzljzxwehapgp7ld5csywm0pn Forest Fern @nprofile…sych The roses are like a sweet smile on these dreary days. npub19cseq4keq8s9pxlnvmkkfge4pnyfs60q6rzljzxwehapgp7ld5csywm0pn Forest Fern @nprofile…sych You both look very happy being back together and out and about in the great outdoors! npub19cseq4keq8s9pxlnvmkkfge4pnyfs60q6rzljzxwehapgp7ld5csywm0pn Forest Fern @nprofile…62fu Breads and Books! I want to be there. 🥰 npub19cseq4keq8s9pxlnvmkkfge4pnyfs60q6rzljzxwehapgp7ld5csywm0pn Forest Fern With today being a gloriously sunny, fall day, I took Mom on a hours long car ride traversing Michigan's country roads. npub19cseq4keq8s9pxlnvmkkfge4pnyfs60q6rzljzxwehapgp7ld5csywm0pn Forest Fern Trimmed back the out-of-control ivy so that it (temporarily) stops invading the neighboring yard. npub19cseq4keq8s9pxlnvmkkfge4pnyfs60q6rzljzxwehapgp7ld5csywm0pn Forest Fern Another HOT day. npub19cseq4keq8s9pxlnvmkkfge4pnyfs60q6rzljzxwehapgp7ld5csywm0pn Forest Fern @nprofile…62fu These are excellent photographs. Beautiful color and detail. I bet you love your new lens. npub19cseq4keq8s9pxlnvmkkfge4pnyfs60q6rzljzxwehapgp7ld5csywm0pn Forest Fern Another flower from my yard: white bloom atop a Hosta plant. npub19cseq4keq8s9pxlnvmkkfge4pnyfs60q6rzljzxwehapgp7ld5csywm0pn Forest Fern @nprofile…gk57 I like this. Really like this idea. I often daydream about where I'd like to spend my future, one that's filled with purpose, and hopefully, happiness, too. npub19cseq4keq8s9pxlnvmkkfge4pnyfs60q6rzljzxwehapgp7ld5csywm0pn Forest Fern You've Got Mail npub19cseq4keq8s9pxlnvmkkfge4pnyfs60q6rzljzxwehapgp7ld5csywm0pn Forest Fern Clean sheets npub19cseq4keq8s9pxlnvmkkfge4pnyfs60q6rzljzxwehapgp7ld5csywm0pn Forest Fern Okay. computer novice here with hopes of advice. npub19cseq4keq8s9pxlnvmkkfge4pnyfs60q6rzljzxwehapgp7ld5csywm0pn Forest Fern @nprofile…62fu Happy Birthday! I hope you had a pleasant day with Kengo. npub19cseq4keq8s9pxlnvmkkfge4pnyfs60q6rzljzxwehapgp7ld5csywm0pn Forest Fern The dog and I went to the forest this morning. npub19cseq4keq8s9pxlnvmkkfge4pnyfs60q6rzljzxwehapgp7ld5csywm0pn Forest Fern @nprofile…ywea @nprofile…ln0g oh that's very cool. I'll have to think of some little games for them. npub19cseq4keq8s9pxlnvmkkfge4pnyfs60q6rzljzxwehapgp7ld5csywm0pn Forest Fern The Peanut Posse has arrived. . . and already yelling for more. I love them. npub19cseq4keq8s9pxlnvmkkfge4pnyfs60q6rzljzxwehapgp7ld5csywm0pn Forest Fern @nprofile…62fu Gorgeous scenery! Just what I needed to see. These are the perfect reset button to a heck of a day. Thank you. npub19cseq4keq8s9pxlnvmkkfge4pnyfs60q6rzljzxwehapgp7ld5csywm0pn Forest Fern @nprofile…62fu Those blossoms are so beautiful ... just as much as Kengo. Such a pretty boy. 💖 npub19cseq4keq8s9pxlnvmkkfge4pnyfs60q6rzljzxwehapgp7ld5csywm0pn Forest Fern @nprofile…tqx4 Gorgeous! Love the color. npub19cseq4keq8s9pxlnvmkkfge4pnyfs60q6rzljzxwehapgp7ld5csywm0pn Forest Fern @nprofile…07t5 I was holding my breath through that. What a scared but calm kid. I never would have made it back. npub19cseq4keq8s9pxlnvmkkfge4pnyfs60q6rzljzxwehapgp7ld5csywm0pn Forest Fern Where should I spend my money when shopping for quality spices and herbs? npub19cseq4keq8s9pxlnvmkkfge4pnyfs60q6rzljzxwehapgp7ld5csywm0pn Forest Fern @nprofile…07t5 I understand that. My previous desperation for sleep found the actual recordings soothing. Tonight, not so much. *turns room fan on for 'that' soothing noise* npub19cseq4keq8s9pxlnvmkkfge4pnyfs60q6rzljzxwehapgp7ld5csywm0pn Forest Fern @nprofile…07t5 lol. Found the thunderstorm channel a couple of weeks ago. It's on my little samsung tv channel lineup. Rain... rumbling... mild thunderstrikes.... it did the trick then, trying again tonight. npub19cseq4keq8s9pxlnvmkkfge4pnyfs60q6rzljzxwehapgp7ld5csywm0pn Forest Fern Insomnia npub19cseq4keq8s9pxlnvmkkfge4pnyfs60q6rzljzxwehapgp7ld5csywm0pn Forest Fern @nprofile…62fu Kengo looks thoroughly interested in the snow. I wonder if the snow better holds all the smells. Do you know if he's had any snow experience before you adopted him? npub19cseq4keq8s9pxlnvmkkfge4pnyfs60q6rzljzxwehapgp7ld5csywm0pn Forest Fern @nprofile…tqx4 Wow!
