New Treasure

It's been a lovely week for treasure. My Mother handed me a bag of things she had found while going through a closet. Lovely mess, isn't it? There is so much more. So, want to guess what is on my To Do list next week? Give you a hint. . . . has something to do with the scanner. . . . It's certainly been fun going through it all. She had many things from my childhood, but most surprising was that there were many items from hers. At any rate, I am going to be busy, and happy about it!

Kreativ Blogger Award from Dr. Bill Smith

Thank you Dr. Bill Smith [http://drbilltellsancestorstories.blogspot.com/] for visiting my blog and choosing to give this award to me.
The winner of this award is supposed to list seven things about themselves and then pass the award along to seven other bloggers.

1. I never get tired of researching and often wish I had more time to devote to it.

2. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time with the INGenWeb and taking care of my county site.

3. I also research the paranormal and spirituality. I have done that much longer than family history, as a matter of fact. Recent discoveries have made me feel a sense of 'coming full circle'.

4. I have worked piled up to do that would shock you!

5. I love to quilt but haven't for a long time now. Where does the time go??

6. I dislike the telephone. No further comment on that....

7. I'm getting old. I must be. It is 9:00 p.m. and I am sleepy.


My picks:
1. Ancestors Live Here

2. Earline at Ancestral Notes

3. A Couple of Bubbles Off Center

4. Banjos And Baby Dolls

5. Genealogy Lines

6. Random Relatives

7. Raeburn Family Odyssey

Treasure Chest Thursday - Grandma's Recipes

I did not know this box existed. It was my grandmother's (Della M. Jaynes) recipe box. She mostly didn't use recipes, so I was surprised when my Mother showed this to me.

I don't know yet what I am going to do with all of these. I've barely had time to go through them. Most are written out in her hand, some are from ladies she from her church and some cut from magazines and ready to fall apart.
So my treasure this time is a new find. That is always exciting!!
Anyone have suggestions? What would you do with them?
