Collaboration is Good! 19 January 2017

Today my Sweetheart and I had decided it would be a good day to work on our announcements--and we got to do that.  I enjoyed working with him, sending possible formats back and forth, and reworking wording and placement.  We each had things to contribute, and I think the finished product will be perfect for us.

This morning I should not have been surprised by the light snow that fell throughout the day--but I was. There was a fair amount on the ground when I went to get some laundry done. Then  I spent a couple of hours separating out what will go home with me, and what I will get rid of here. Was that the best use of my time? I am not sure--but it felt good to work on that project. Getting the exit papers has just got my mind moving in that direction. I also got the invitations sent off for the Young Elders Dinners.

Although this was my P day, I had a Trainers meeting in the afternoon. That gave me the opportunity to register for Capstone, which will be special classses in Family Tree for five half-days in March and another five half-days in April. Right now that seems a little far off, but I know the time will pass quickly.  I also got to turn in a request for a short leave of absence to visit my Arizona family.  By flipping my P days, I really will not miss any duties at the Library. I am relatively confident that my request will be approved.

I was able also to work a little over an hour on my Eppingen records.  I hope I can glean every pertinent bit of information from the Ortssippenbuch.  Things are going more smoothly now that I am not attaching photos of these secondary records.

My youngest daughter helped me e-file the Personal Property Assessment form, since we had no changes.  It was another of the miracles of modern technology.

I had planned to make flax seed crackers today, but I let the seeds boil too long, so this batch will not be made into crackers.  I hope to do more soon.

I will get to talk again with my Sweetheart tonight, and maybe even work a bit more on our Announcements project.  I think I will then be ready to sleep after a productive day.
