Good morning party people!! Feeling very lucky and grateful that we aren't experiencing some flash flooding like is going on in some cities this morning. Torrential downpours in a short period of time has resulted in a lot of folks with their cars and homes under water. Just taking a moment to feel grateful for all I have and not having to be rescued or losing my home/car to flood water. My thoughts are with everyone that is struggling today.
Ate left over mexican food for breakfast. I am strange, I like dinner foods in the morning and breakfast in the evening a lot of the time. I like left overs for breakfast!
Having a good cup of caramel starbucks. I always love how it smells when I am grinding the beans. There really is no replacing that freshly ground flavor.
Apparently there were 3 winning powerball tickets sold so the giant jackpot was won by some really lucky people!!
I bought 10 tickets and only had one matching number.
Have a dentist appointment this afternoon. What a joyful event to look forward to. Guess I better hit this joint so I feel less anxious about it.
I've became so engrossed in the geneology stuff. My paternal grandfather's family are really hard to trace back past my great great grandfather so far. I first started out on a really great free site ran by the latter day saints that is super helpful. Since my stuff is harder to trace back I've now joined a pay site that has a 3 week free trial and found a mind blowing amount of stuff in a short time period. Still struggling to find grand dad's folks but all my other branches of family tree are spreading out like wildfire. The pay site I am using makes it so easy. You start with yourself and fill out what you know and then you get all these hints as it cross references everything immediately. So then you search thru the census links and birth/death records that the site links you to thru hints. Its really easy and fun to do. I started one for me and then started one for my hubs and I'd managed to list at least 5 generations back within an hour or so.
If this interests you I suggest you start at the free site that has a lot of info
https://familysearch.org/ I had to go past this site for more intense research since there is little to no info past my grandpa's parents and I'm using ancestry with a free 3 week trial. This does require a card to register just FYI.
Finding out where you came from can be really enlightening. I look forward to searching for them now and devote a few hours a day to it now. Since I love to research this is relaxing to me to dig thru yesteryear.
Hope all of you have a magnificent day!
Love this band, if you have the chance to see them definitely go! Went to see them twice and I dance nearly the whole show each time. I love this video cause this is some random lady out of the audience dancing her ass off with the singer. I LOVE to dance its one of the things I am still good at so I love to watch this lady get down. I am used to partying in juke joints where everyone is shaking their ass all night long.
