The technical difficulties of the last few days have now been resolved. The representatives at Hostgator.com have been very helpful. There has been quite the learning curve for this non-techie. If you notice something missing or are having difficulty accessing parts of the blog, please let me know. I will return to regularly posting January [...] Pardon the dust around here, please. I experienced significant technical difficulties today after an upgrade to wordpress. Things are back up and running, but I am needing to re-install some of the usual features you find in my sidebar.

Our family has a number of other exciting non-holiday events to celebrate as well. We have a number of late November through New Year’s Day birthdays to celebrate. I don’t know how [...] 
December 12, 2012 I almost missed the 12/12/12 significance until I came across this great post at Leaves for Trees. Heather wrote about 12 ancestors she would like to meet, 12 questions she would like to ask and 12 things she would like to tell. What a fun concept for today. Leaves For Trees [...]
