Last night (Saturday) was a good night. Gwenn and I had helped a lady from her work move yesterday. Near the end we received a text from Christi (and yes I can send a text message) saying a friend of hers was having a birthday party last evening and could we watch the kids for a couple of hours. We said yes.
Jamie and LJ came over and we all had a good time. Gwenn was surprised because they even got Grandpa playing the Wii, Super Mario Brothers no less. Before the evening was over Grandma was evening playing Super Mario Brothers. I popped up a big batch of buttered pop corn. I think the grandkids like it better than Gwenn and I. All I know is that when they left there was much left for Grandpa and Grandma. Thats OK, we each had a bowl when the kids got their "first bowl" of what seemed like many. Between the Wii, popcorn and A & W root beer (yes, diet) I think they did ok. Yep, it was a good night.
A quick note regarding our other grandson, Jacob. He and his family have moved north to Bellingham, Washington. We don't get to see him quite as often as he is a couple of hours away. Rob still gets with him quite a bit and we still get to see him. The little bounder gets better looking everyday. I'm talking about Jake, not Rob. Rob is a big bounder. Take that Rob!

Belated Happy Birthday To.....
Robert Goodsell, who spent his birthday doing a trial run of eloping to Las Vegas...Great practical joke there Bobbie! He claims to be still single, but (on the QT) I don't think that's going to last much longer :)
Happy Birthday Robert
(BTW...I know I sometimes miss a birthday here and there, but I'm not the only one who can do birthday wishes...Feel Free to jump in with your own wishes as well.)
Where Is Everyone?
So...the holidays are over and life should be getting back to normal...So...Why is nobody posting to the site? Is life that boring? Has anyone got anything to say?
I went on two job interviews last week...WooHoo...that is the most in a given week so far. In fact, that brings me to an all time total of THREE job interview in the last nine months...Things are looking up :)
Robert just returned from two and a half weeks in Desert Hot Springs, to see his pain doctor and to help our old neighbor (John) who has been quite ill recently. His next trip may be in March (if not before) as John is getting quite weak.
I have been spending my time looking for and entering records of family members and friends in Find A Grave. This brings up an interesting question...Some of Mom's family were born in Poplar and some were born in Ririe. Now I know they were all born in the same place, and there were issues of the county line running through the farm...But really...WHERE WERE THEY BORN? (This ought to give everyone something to post...What's your idea as to what is, or should be, the official birth place? Does anyone have a copy of Mom's birth certificate? What does it say?
Along that same vein...What happened to the family biographies that Mom used to type into her computer? Does anyone have a copy of them?

Blog Changes
1.) On the right-hand side, a "Useful Links" gadget has been added. Currently it has links to Family Search and Find A Grave. If anyone has links that they would like to have added, please let me know.
2.) At the very bottom of the blog page is another Find A Grave link. This is a lookup of specific memorials that I have either added to, or manage, in Find A Grave. As I have time, I will continue to add to and build my "Virtual Cemeteries" of family members and friends.
