Just a quick "hello" and update...

Momma duck still patiently sitting and waiting...

My ancestry search keeps hitting walls, but is "O So Fun" to do!  I found Passenger Lists showing some of PJ's family coming to America, plus a couple photos of the actual ships they traveled on!  I also found newspaper articles from the early 1900's... one about his great grandmother's passing, one about his grandfather and a horse named Flossie, and a few more.  So, the search continues...

It's a beautiful, crisp spring morning.  Some of my tulips are done, but others have just opened up.  The daffodils looked pretty this morning too...

Still "waging the war" against my health demons.  I feel like I'm winning some of the battles.  My MS seems to have stabilized for now, and I am so thankful for that!  I have chosen not to be on any medication, as the side effects seem to outweigh the benefits.  I shared in an earlier post about my "shrinking" and am dealing with decisions about medication for that. My advice... take care of your bones now!  Overall, I am doing well...

My writing has taken a back seat... so far back... it's in the caboose of a long, long train!  I will get back to work soon.  Ideas have been swirling around in my head, I just need to get them down on "paper" while they're fresh...

I hope there is peace and sunshine wherever you are today...

Blessings!

That's good news that you are winning some on the health front! It's a constant challenge as we age to keep those demons down!

Isn't spring positively delicious? Our daffies are gone but our new annuals are providing color. We are impatiently waiting for our daylilies to start putting up their bloom scapes.

I almost missed these comments. So nice of both of you! I'm loving the search and loving spring! Trying to balance my PC time with a little time in the fresh air. It's been beautiful!
