Writing Wednesday and a Challenge
I’m creating ‘Writing Wednesday’ here at my blog. I hope to share a writing tip, story or such on Wednesday’s each week.
This Wednesday I’m sharing an abbreviation. Do you know what the abbreviation for ‘treasurer’ is?
I’m usually tops at these English questions but this one made me pause. I actually had to think about it. Why? It simply doesn’t look right when written.
tres.
Now, for the challenge I mentioned above. FindMyPast.com is challenging everyone to name all their sixteen great great grandparents along with any interesting uncovered stories. What do you win if you can name all of them? You will win a free 12-month Explorer subscription.
They’ll pick a winner every month in their newsletter.
Email them at casestudies@findmypast.com with the subject line ‘Great Great Grandparents’ and include your username so they can check your growing tree on Family Tree Explorer.
Don’t have a tree listed over there? This is a great reason to jump on over and get the tree online.
Best wishes to all that enter. If you need help researching those great great grandparents, remember that I’m only an email away.

Blog Has Moved to Blogger
Well, I’ve switched over to Blogger for a bit. You can follow my posts over at:
I’m going to keep this blog in place as an archive. I might be back to it. I like to discover and play around with different formats. Right now I’m finding that I like Blogger. So, that is where I will be until further notice.
Thanks,

Pardon Codes
I’m fiddling around with my blog. Please excuse the codes that keep appearing. I keep switching around things and cannot make up my mind.
Until I do figure things out, codes will be flying around.

A Thankful Thanksgiving
This week Americans celebrate Thanksgiving. It really is a wonderful time to reflect on the important things in life and slow down to give thanks.
Without a doubt, I am most thankful for my immediate and extended family. My life is filled with so much love. I have been blessed abundantly with a wonderful husband and three beautiful children. Most people don’t seem to experience that these days. Do we have our moments and difficult times? Of course we do but we are always there for each other. This is the greatest blessing in life – Love. I wish everyone could experience it.
This is quickly followed by thankfulness for health. There are a few out there laughing right now because they know the germs have flown around in my house this past year. However, there is a huge difference between germs flying and a serious or critical illness. My heart bleeds for those dealing with such tribulations. I am extremely thankful to have health in my household. To those that don’t, my prayers are with you.
As a military spouse, I have to throw in my thanks that my spouse is with us this holiday season. We have not been so fortunate during the past. To those families that are coping with deployed military family members, I hope that they return unharmed and soon. To all our military in the way of harm, stay safe and Thank You!
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone and may your lives be blessed.
