Grandma turns 87

It's hard to believe my grandmother just turned 87. We all went to my parents house for lunch to celebrate. What do you get an 87 year old woman who has everything she could want you ask...well a Walgreens gift card of course. She loves Walgreens and now maybe she'll get some of those digital photos printed from the camera we gave her for Christmas. My grandmother has longevity in her family and overall is in good health. She'll no doubt be around to celebrate many more. That's her blowing out the candles with my mom in the background.

There's always a first time

Welcome one and all to my new blog. Mostly I hope to make this about my major interests of genealogy, cemetery research, and the Civil War. I may talk about what I am reading, cemeteries I have been to to photograph and interesting things I have found, or maybe the latest in my own family tree research. I'll mention new things I've learned that may be from other sites or books. Of course I'll try to include links to anything I talk about so that you can read then yourself. Really I hope to just have fun and maybe occassionaly entertain you for a few minutes every now and then. For now take care and I'll be posting again soon!
