Wow, this day went by fast!

I started work this morning right after a shower and a bowl of cereal. I had trouble with my computer which set me back about 45 minutes. I was hurrying as the kids were coming about 10:00. As it was, they arrived about 10:30. I wrapped up some work, and closed shop.

The kids and I went to In/Out burger for a fancy lunch, then did a little shopping. We called Annie and invited her to eat dinner at my house. Yes, yes! then we didn't hear from her. Come to find out she had been calling and I left the phone in the car. I only have a cell phone. The girls and I played games and tried to figure out something to watch on TV. It's hard. Not much that is appropriate for a 6 year old, an 11 year old, and grandma.

We had pasta and green beans with fruit on the side for dinner. The girls played in the yard and Annie and I visited for awhile. It is so nice to have them here.

I planned to work some tonight, but by the time they left it was 8:30. Darn daylight plan, then I really didn't feel like starting anything. I will crash early tonight and set my alarm for 5.

Gas is about $4.40 per gallon, and up. Ouch. Good thing I am not doing much driving.

Nancy, an old family friend is into genology and has been researching the Gerrish family, although in census records it is Garrish. Not sure who changed it, or why. My dad's mother, Bertha Cole's mother died after childbirth I've been told. Bertha was raised as an only child by her father from infancy. There isn't even a record of her mother's name. There must be a birth record somewhere. Now I am interested in researching something that had not really interested me in the past.

Lots of curious things in life. The records Nancy sent me traced my dad's Mother's family back to 1600 in England. That is so amazing to me.
