Continuing with my Royal Blood post, I’ve been investigating Herman Op Den Graeff and who his parents are and came across a very helpful page on RootsWeb from Kevin Sholder that offers some useful things to study. His studies are unique because as opposed to other researchers of this matter, he delves into the locations involved.
The locations are [...]

…not blog. No - a genealogy blog is not in the ‘wurks.’
After I couldn’t find any WordPress genealogy plugins, I started blogging about a line of my family tree in a separate family tree blog that I created. Then, after only three generations took several painstaking hours of my time to write out, I decided [...]

Ok, as I mentioned in my last post, I’m planning on blogging on my family tree. I was all ready to do that right here until I thought about how I would really need to categorize each family line separately. And I don’t know that I want this blog to have all of those family [...]

So I decided that getting a [...]

I couldn’t sleep this morning - I was wide awake at 4:00 and couldn’t get back. I tried the usual plane crash daydreams but to no avail… so I thought it was the perfect opportunity to start my new regime.
I’d been planning to make some changes this week anyway and was falling behind, so really, [...]
if you’ll believe in anything.
I took a rare week night out with my sis and her husband to go see Wolf Parade at The Marquee in Tulsa tonight - it was the best show I’ve seen in years.
First we stumbled out of the T-storms & tornadoes into “Lola’s,” a dia de los muertos themed tapas bar [...]
It felt like my family and I spent the whole of October celebrating Halloween; or at least celebrating the cool weather and the orange backdrop of fall, as well as out-of-town family & friends coming and going.
Our family loves fall anyway and we always get an early start on the festivities… this year it started [...]
Well - I may not have produced the world’s greatest modern mosaics, but I did end up with three little pieces of color and awkwardness that I like enough to display in my decor. Plus going to art class was really a nice segway from the office.
So here’s what I made - three tree-themed smalti [...]
