I went back to bed and set the alarm for 7:30, slept a bit.  Last night wasn't a bad night of sleep, thank God.

Very good news!  Hopefully, that continues!!

Chas I hope your cold is gone or at least on it’s way out

On its way out, for sure. I don't have a lot of strength yet, but definitely feeling better.

Very good news, too!  Hopefully, that continues, as well!

Thatch has discovered the joy of brushing.  As soon as I produce "the brush," he goes to pieces, rolls around like Hedy Lamarr in Ecstasy, and becomes a full-fledged hedonist. stretchiong and luxuriating in the strokes.  Now, whenever I sit on the bed or lie down to watch a bit of TV, he jumps up beside me and makes obvious hints that he needs "the brush."

I love a cat that likes to be brushed.

We got about 2 hours of sleep last night. For some reason we were both restless. I think we will crash early tonight but first I need to iron my blouse for tomorrow.

While we never found the grave site of my great grandparents we had fun searching for them and met some nice people that shared some of my family history with me.  While lunching at the restaurant and pub my great grandfather and his half brother owned I just possibly met a half cousin.  Once home Keith will see if he can connect us.

After lunch we went looking for the old homestead.  There was a house that might possibly have been it.  I approached intending to knock on the door when the owner walked out.  He was very helpful and, alas, told us the home was torn down to build a new development.  He pointed out where the entrance was and where the home had been.

He also mentioned the little building that had once been the schoolhouse where my grandmother and her 7 siblings went to school.

Walking over to see the entrance that was once the family farm, where my grandfather bred horses, we stopped to take photos of the school house.

To our surprise there was an engraving on the clock tower naming the members of the schoolboard when the school was built.  Named were my great grandfather and half great uncle.

My 3rd cousin Jane, and her husband Rick were wonderful hosts.  After our tour they had us over to their cottage for dinner. Jane baked a new recipe called Impossible pie.  You mix the crust, custard filling, & coconut in a bowl, mix, put it into a pan and bake.  It then separated the the layers with the crust on the bottom & toasted coconut on the top.  It really worked though it tasted more like bread pudding which Jane doesn't care for.  The rest of us found it enjoyable and it was a very interesting dish ;D

I hope I have wound down enough to sleep.  Tomorrow we are going to see my mother's first cousin.  I will find out if she knew the family home was gone.  We will show her our photos.  It has been 23 years since I have seen her.

My question for ASK BK DAY:

I read about your experience seeing Attack of the 50 Foot Woman in the liner notes of the Ronald Stein CD - I was interested to read that you saw it at an real indoor theatre - it seemed more like drive-in material to me.

What did you think of the movie?
