Today’s project — midwestern accent pieces

A perfect example of forward/backward knots, along with ‘segment knotting’ to gain the desired pattern in the weave. More photos as the pieces progress. — Cathy

This gentleman is a family friend who my dad was very close with, when I was child — just recently (see post date) I learned that Mr. Green’s wife and children are distant cousins.

Found this out by indirect connections — will follow up with details, soon.

Phil,

I’m replying to a post that is older, but I hope you receive this. The family you are looking for has a detailed history at http://homepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~silver/south/ancesthome.html

I am a descendant of Jacob Silver (no “s” on the end). Charles was his half brother by George, Jr.’s first wife. Hope this helps.

I’m interested in any other information about lines back from George Silver (Jung Silber) and also the Mode family of western North Carolina.

Crafting? Nope, Doing An Inventory of Books For Sale

Welcome to June 2013!

The past weekend did not goes as we had planned for it to; instead Dave and I stayed indoors.

MONDAY:

Found us both still a bit ‘out of sorts’ (some kind of bug going around, is my guess).

Even so, we are at Valley Antiques until 5:00 pm — Dave is at the front counter; I am in the office/booth doing book inventory and pricing. Going through books can be a ‘slow go’ — even so, the new BOOK NOOK is getting to look as it should, in our booth.

With each batch of books, I have to shift categories around, so the corner will be a jumble for a while.

I guess I’d best get back to the books — have just over a dozen action books that need to be bagged and priced.

Will post again when I get a chance.

Snow Days and Family Trees?

It has been a snow/ice day in Alabama today.
How does that related to family trees?
Well, since I am indoors from the weather, and have the flu-bug to boot, it means when I have had the brief burst(s) of energy — I have added a bit more to several ancestral branches.
No huge breakthroughs, but have made several connection I did not expect.
Last couple I stopped at was William N. Collins and Permelia Mary “Melia” Smith — don’t ask how I ended up with this couple.
They were somehow connect to the various families that I was tracing, from the Yancey County (Bald Mountain region) of North Carolina.
No family tree is SIMPLE…anyone who tells you that, has not done much research.
Somehow, the folks I have added to my main family tree file most likely are related to my Aunt Betty Jean Davis (Abernathy).
Her ancestral line is where I began today’s research project…
Okay, I am not getting much more done on this blog or the research…guess I need to get something to drink and get back to doing ‘something’ while the dryer is get the clothes done.
Another update will be in the works as soon as I find something news-worthy.

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 (someone 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…”
