Randomness

  • When I went to Uncle Jerry's with Mom and Dad and we stopped at the cemetery, there were some of the grave that we were unable to locate (Elys and Lybargers).  Playing around on the compute today, I remembered a website that Donna had mentioned once -- findagrave.com.  I thought maybe they would be listed there, so I started searching.  I found some Lybargers, but not sure if they are the right ones and I can't see where it says where in the cemetery they are located . . . so no luck there.  However, I also noticed that there was no picture of Emma & Albert Trembly's grave marker (which I had) nor was there any listing at all for Grandma & Grandpa Meyer's grave.  I signed up as a contributor (it's free) and uploaded the pics that I took that day at the cemetery and added G & G Meyer.  I also went to the records for Marysdale cemetery and added Grandma Batt's info (G-pa was already listed).
  • Speaking of Cemeteries, I would like to get up to St. Nicholas church in Frenchtown (or what was Frenchtown) and see where the La Fontaine and Warnement ancestors are buried.  I could add pictures of their grave markers to the findagrave.com site, too.
  • I am taking PTO time this week.  Nothing specific planned, just needed to take some of my time so that I don't end up losing it at the end of the year.  I may just make it up to St. Nick's one day this week.
  • I have decided that I like the show Call the Midwife on PBS.  I had seen snippets of some episodes before, but never really started watching it because I was never sure when it was on and I really didn't want to start somewhere in the middle.  I just happened on the show last Sunday evening and realized that I was coming in at the beginning of the first episode so I watched it and thought that it was quite good.  I now know that it is on at 7 on Sunday evening which is a good time for me to watch.
  • When I was out walking today I saw 5 wooly worms.  Four were completely brown from tip to tail and the fifth was completely black (probably an anomaly).  Anyone well versed in wooly worm lore?  What does this tell us about the winter to come?
