Bleary eyed

. . . from looking up genealogy records on the computer for the last 4 hr. Currently working on my father's mother's family. Holy cow, what a prolific family! And why, oh why, does everyone name their kids after uncles, aunts, cousins, so there are dozens of people with the same common names. I, at least, skipped back over three generations (me, my mother, and my grandmother) when naming my daughter, who is named for her gr-gr-grandmother. Even the names that are unusual, aren't THAT unusual in this family, except for maybe the guy named Oarmel (or Armol or Armel, depending on which record you look at). And amongst the hundreds of folks in NJ and PA, there was one, at least, who moved to North Carolina and was in Mars Hill in 1910. That's just about an hour's ride from where I am.

Linda, you might not have wanted that nice wind this morning when Lee blew through. It was raining sideways. Then it's been on and off (mostly on) all day since then. Where was this rain back in July when we could have used it?

Gotta hit the sack.
