FAMILY-Gilger-Sober

I suppose all of these documents have been here for maybe 5 years. Just now getting around to scanning them. Would love to dispose of them after posting here. But we all know how that goes...

This is mostly letters and lists.
One very interesting one is a list of people from a "Sampler" embroidered by Frances Margaret Gilger (Hickey) in 1900. I am unsure of whether (Hickey) means a maiden name here or a married name. Will investigate  that later.




good grief I scanned and added these in order but they are not!  grrr LOL




The above is the list from the "Sampler"




Hickey turns out to be her married name

MISC-Sun room- Computer room do over

Finally got rid of the old Dell computer from 2000 on April 6th. It still turned on but no way to hook up to the internet, the monitor screen was so small, and the mouse stopped working. It just took up too much space for something that basically all it had in it was my old family tree. Which had maybe 1,000 in it with many errors. so... DelRoy lifted both pieces down to my car trunk and I drove it to Staples in Orleans where a clerk there came out and lifted both pieces at once. Impressive!

These photos should be self explanatory. May make no sense to others but I had to prove to myself that I could do this.

funny sitting here adding these photos to the blog I see more tweaks in the room to be done. oh well. one day atta time.

I now have to get rid of old electronics like a scanner, cd burner etc that I no longer use.

During all of this I bought a new Libman Wonder Mop. It was impossible to squeeze the water out. I contacted the company and let me say- they need to polish up their responses to someone complaining. I will still buy the mop until something similar and cheaper comes along.



after all this I walked to the garden nursery and bought 3  flats of pansies- hope to plant them before June.



thimk Spring!
