It has been over 4 years since I last posted on this blog. Where have the years gone? Time seems to slip by faster since I retired, and while I always said that I would focus 100% on my genealogy after retirement, that isn't always possible.
Life does interfere with the best laid plans. In these last 4 years I have had many "life" situations. My mother, who had lived with me for 20 years, became ill and I cared for her during her final months. During those 11 months we moved to a more appropriately situated home that would be suitable for her restrictions. My career as a home based medical transcriptionist was slowing down with the advent of "Electronic Medical Records" and I contemplated retirement earlier than I had planned. Life was hectic and stressful. I lost my mother when she was 91 and a week later a very close friend also passed away from cancer.
As the months went by, retirement, budget planning, moving again to a smaller home and other stresses were evident. It has taken some time to settle into a new life and a new home.
I have been considering getting back to blogging and have determined to put this into action starting today. Even though I haven't been blogging in the last 4 years I have continued my research and have made some tremendous genealogical discoveries which will be excellent material for future blog posts.
I am sure by now I have lost all my followers (though I can always depend on my cousins, Roy Kolberg and TK Sand, to graciously follow my posts) though I'll have to write them to remind them of their obligation!!
Starting today I am going to take part in a genealogy challenge entitled "52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks". Each week I will select an ancestor and write a post about him/her. I may include a photo or two, a document or just a small bit of information about this ancestor.
I'm excited about starting this challenge.
