Ok? It’s a new look, this first one up, but is it a good look? Expect some more experimenting before I settle onto one particular format. Let me know what you think, about the blog layout, or the blog… Not just your random ramblings.

Had been working on genealogy for a few years, tracing my father’s side of the family. Was stuck on my father’s maternal grandmother, Mellie Handley. An unusual name but probably a family nickname so trying to find her in the census was not working out. Left messages on the Ancestry.com bulletin board without much luck. Then, yesterday, I had a reply that looks like I’m now off on the trail of that side of my history.]

Breaking spring here. Yard work and birding, sketching… playing outside! Alive…
