Warm and overcast. I guess the outer bands of the storm are up to Smiths Grove.

Yesterday I told you fellows and gal that it looked like it could rain at any moment. I went out at 9:30 to mow the grass and it was big blue sky and by 11:00 there was not a cloud in the sky. At 3:00 it was dark clouds and no sun. We ended up with no rain.

If you like all sorts of weather move to Kentucky and sometimes you get five or six weather patterns in one day!

Dropping in to say hi and to check on who is still around when I used to post on a regular basis. A few thoughts on some posts I browsed. I am still on a high about our football cats. I expect another bowl bid season. Been a long time getting back for our football cats and I am loving it.

My Kentucky kin rode off with both sides during the Civil War and some just stayed in our hills and did what they could to survive. One group that had deserted from the Yank and Reb army and came back to Greenup County and headed west together. They ended up in the Union Army fighting the Indians out west at the first battle of Adobe Walls.

Good to see the D league still around. Good memories.

Ditto. Don't be a stranger. There's room at the table.

Don't really know my family lineage other than what little my brother looked up through one of these companies that claim to be able to run your roots through their computer and find your tree. Results were vague and split on possible branches but, no concrete line. My family on my mothers side did not keep good records that I now of and I did not really know my father or any of his relatives so, my lineage starts with me being born and raised in Kentucky.

I have been fortunate as far as knowing family history because both sides kept excellent records. I belong to several heritage groups starting with the Mayflower Society. I had five ancestors lines on the Mayflower from both sides of the family. To become a member you have to prove your lineage through every generation by documents. Fortunately for me all the work was done by family before me and all I had to do was link through a birth certificate. Then add it to what was already in their records. Even that took several months because they check everything and check it twice. And the documents had to come from a family source, not their records.

On dad's side I was able to go back to the 900's AD through the help of a person I never met who lives in Southwestern Scotland across from Northern Ireland. He lives where my fathers roots began and my surname can be traced back to one man who came from the Fitzgerald family. He killed a man in revenge over killing a member of his family and fled to Scotland from Ireland. He had a change in his name from the order of the King. My roots through dad are Scot-Irish. This man has provided me with documents, photos of graves, etc. of my family that have been valuable for our records. But even with all of this information very few in my family have any desire to want to know about their family's history. Especially the younger ones. I think it is a generational thing as they are not interested. But I have published the family lines in 10 volumes complete with documents, photos and grave site information. It is on record for anyone in the family that is curious When I am dead they might care as they get older and life slows down. .

I asked a lot of questions. Investigated and been able to (confirm mostly) that the genealogical folklore was indeed true.

Me to.

On Ancestry I currently have 5,260 folks in my tree and I have accumulated 1,111 pictures. When I have nothing else to do I work on it.

The DNA test also allows you to confirm your tree.

I say let it grow. Clip the sides a little more and you'd get the Eraserhead look.

Yep. Saturn is running 2 hours (looking at a clock) behind. Hopefully the skies will be clear this Thursday down at Nolin. I want to pull out the 3 In. and 8 In. scopes and check them out again. Unfortunately
Dear OLD Mother Nature has a nasty way of gathering clouds where telescopes are set up. :angry:
