In 2017 an amazing story unfolded. It was filled with mystery and tension. It had everything you could every want in a story including aliens and exploding bats. The heroes and heroines had familiar faces and an arsenal of special powers and immense reserves of courage and ingenuity. It …
What a dilemma we have created for ourselves with the advent of wonderful and affordable cameras. Now, rather than searching for even one ancestral photograph, our posterity will not know where to begin because of the number of photographs available to them. Gone are the days of photo albums on …
journal entry: Spooky stuff is really fun. Simple spooky stuff is even more fun. I cut these shapes with my Silhouette Cutting Machine. Spiders. Pumpkins. Bats. Cats. I used my tiny hole punch to punch two holes in each piece. Then, I threaded a flexible black floral wire …

journal entry: It seems that people have long underestimated the importance of “funeral” photography. As my interest in Family History has deepened, I have developed a great appreciation for it. The death of those we love often brings together more living family members than does any other event. Even weddings …
