Then, on Tuesday, I broke my wrist.
I have never had a broken bone before,
It hurts, I am hobbled, I can’t finish my cross stitch project. I cant wash all the dishes. All this can’t is new to me. But I am basically an optimist,
So, I have decided to focus on what I can do.
I can type one handed — sort of. And I can do genealogy. And I can read, And watch lots of tv.
So......here I am typing.
I have made a major discovery in my family tree and I am so excited to get the documentation for it. I will share when it comes.
I am finding it difficult to do genealogy on an iPad and my laptop died so my husband is building me a new desktop computer, It is going to be beautiful. We are lucky to live close to an electronics store and they had everything so it will be quick.
I love our PBS station and they are binge showing Ken Burns crafting in America series. It is great.
I can watch this!
I cant make cards right now but I can color so I am going to get my art that way.
I am going to do some photo scanning for my family tree which is on Ancestry. I will probably spend a lot of time with that.
So, I am making an effort to make some lemonade with this lemon I am carrying around with me,
I can still order groceries online so I guess I should go get to that!

It sounds as though you are planning a fun time despite the broken wrist! However, I hope it heals well and soon.
Good for you doing all the things you CAN do instead of being disappointed that you can't do everything ( who can?).
I am curious what interesting tidbit you found. This kind of discovery makes family research interesting.
Hi. Mary, well it is not a clean break so we have to see how it goes. it is sort of my decision if I want surgery or not. I am veering toward not but we will know more next week. what a pain.
Hi, GM, well verbal family history always told us that my great grandparents immigrated with three children and left two or three buried in Wales. I know my g-grandmother had 12 children and I knew who 8 of them were so I went on a search. I started with her funeral book which gave me 11 names -- they also listed the surviving children as well as the deceased children at the time of her death so I had the names of all the children but one which I feel was born in Pennsylvania and was either a miscarriage or a still birth and not named. my grandfather told a story of such a baby that they had to build a casket and melt snow to do the burial. there are significant gaps in the ages of the children to allow for a lost baby or two -- I dont know if I can ever figure out the unnamed baby.
