Update about blogCa

Who knew all this would happen afterwards! Flat Creek in November, 2024. Much changed by the force of the hurricane floods in Sept. 2024. The deck of the bridge is now under that pile of debris.

Sweet miniature roses

 Another birthday present.



Why, you might wonder, is that black welcome mat up against the wall? Well, I noticed it was shedding when I wiped my feet on it, and bits of black were coming in the house. Enough said.

I'm enjoying finding more ancestors on my tree. This week I discovered another mother of a great grandmother times seven, or 7 x great grandmother. And they were still in New England, though one of the fathers had been on the Mayflower. Will have to share that with my grandkids, so they can say so in case that comes up in conversation. Right!

    If you keep going with your family tree at this rate, you might soon uncover tree dwellers. 🤓

    Pretty flowers! I once read some estimate of the number of descendants of persons who arrived on the Mayflower and it was astronomical. One of my Hemenway ancestors lived in the Massachusetts colonies but we have not traced him back any farther than that.
