June 2 means 19 years blogging. I’ve been a bit behind lately.

June 2, 2007. Seems so long ago that I began this blog. It was 19 years ago and that means next year will be the 20^th Anniversary of this blog. I haven’t been blogging much over the last two months. The reasons are many and diverse. My landlord raised my rent big time, and I knew it was time to move. But where!

My landlord raised my rent big time, and I knew it was time to move. But where!
Had lunch with a good genealogy friend and at the end of lunch, she asked if I wanted to house sit while they were out of the country. YES! Gave notice I was leaving the old apartment.
My middle sister and my daughter joined forces to continue looking for a new apartment for me.
Daughter and granddaughter helped a ton as I packed to move, packed, packed, packed, and moved most to storage. Donated 17 boxes of books, films, and related materials to the Minnesota Genealogical Society.
Partially moved into my friend’s home. What a perfect bridge residence for me!
Daughter found an apartment, I agreed, and signed a lease. Packing time again.
Memorial Day weekend was moving time out of the storage facility and what I had brought to my friend’s home. My oldest son, daughter, adult grandson and granddaughter, and a family friend went above and beyond with the moving and more! We laughed a lot!
In the midst of all this, I presented 6 webinars and prepared 8 handouts for presentations.
On Friday of the moving weekend, my new great grandson was born. When he was 29 hours old, he and his parents surprised our crew at my new apartment. They said it was on the way home from the hospital. It was not!
