I loved the idea of creating a trading card. I used the toymaker generator.

Knoxville holds a special place in my heart, because I spent part of my honeymoon there.

Using the TeVa-Tennesse site was fascinating.

A Mayflower descendant

Genealogy is a fascinating subject to me. Looking at old family photos and using the Hockneyizer lets me create a modern way to display the pictures. I look forward to using several other techniques that flickr offers.

I am intrigued by the ancestry library link. Exploring it has been a blast. Looking up one's past is a fun way to spend a rainy day. My cousin's wife is really into genealogy and we had a lot of laughs exploring our family trees.

The way you can search census records and select different countries is very helpful. My favorite search is Birth, Marriage and Death records. You might be surprised who you find.

The database would be a fun way to introduce a child to his/her past. Many classes have students do a family tree project. This database would also be good for the beginning serious genealogy researcher.

One of my favorite artist is N.C. Wyeth. Check out this image from Treasure Island.

Traveling is one of the things I really enjoy. This photo was taken by my son. Today is his birthday!

7 1/2 Habits

I like to think of myself as a constant learner. I love research and looking stuff up is fun for me. So I am good at play. My biggest challenge is probably seeing the end at the beginning. That's not to say I don't goal set, because I do, but I tend to put so many parts in that the end seems so far away. I like a fair challenge and I know how to accept responsibility, because I am a Mom! I think I will keep a copy of these habits to revisit from time to time.

This is my first blog! I wonder where it all may lead to?
