More like an arm and a leg

Except it's not local anymore. There have been a number of moves and apparently these papers actually moved too.

Which is really blowing my mind.

Historical societies like to chat with others, so not being local shouldn't be a problem

Mom's the family genealogist and she's had stuff shipped from one society to another before

whoa, I did not even know that was possible! I should have, though. Everything is so connected these days.

Glad to blow your mind

(The big get-together was pushed back, and it makes me glad. I still shouldn't be here any longer since there's other stuff to do if not that, but.... break time!)

Yeah, they can copy stuff to the computer and then email it to other people.
Plus there's probably websites where people interested in that stuff congregate. You can find just about any thing or anyone on the web.

We're going to have a friends thanksgiving this friday. I'm looking forward to it. Though I am a little worried that no one else is going to bring food.

Maybe post a basic-food-groups sign-up sheet and people can cross things off the sheet if they're bringing it, so that you all get a notion of what there will be?

We're doing everything through texting so that's not an option. But when everyone worked together that's what they did.

Currently there's going to be meatloaf and squash casserole. And that's from one person. Oh and someone else said they were bringing a dessert. No information on what kind of dessert though.

I'm gonna have to kick some butt. I can sense it.

ha ha, it's good you're there to keep everyone organized!
