It's quiet. It's TOO quiet.

There is something in my mind that says there is no way I can actually afford to be this idle the week before Christmas--but it appears that I can be. Everything is pretty much done.

A disjointed ramble that got longer than I expected...so cut for your convenience... )

ramblings, food, family, weather, weekend, friends

Family genealogy can be addictive. Bill's goes back to the 14th century, in one line. We are waiting to get word on my family that supposedly goes back to the 13th century. Fun, yes, but I can't take too seriously that far back.

Most of the people we're working on are people that I've known or their parents--and considering how long-lived most of the family is, it isn't unusual to know our clan four generations back!

But this is just facinating stuff, and the little stories that come up when I speak to my parents about them and their memories of them is just wild.

Apparently, I come by weird very honestly!

I managed to trace mine back to 3 viking brothers who came over in the early 700's, supposedly. But it was relatively easy given the older spelling of the family name.

Get the stories written down!! Job's children will enjoy them someday, to say nothing of your nieces and nephews when they grow up and have their own kids.
