Whew, Halloween is over! The kids had a great time trick-or-treating. We got hit by tons of kids and ran out of candy within an hour. Then we had to turn all of the lights off and pretend we weren’t home for the rest of the evening. I contemplated giving out my kids’ candy, but they wouldn’t go for it.
- I love a good wedding story and Emma and Elmer eloped over at Documenting the Details is a great one.
- Love is dancing by ourselves. What a beautiful post by Linda Gartz, of Family Archaeologist. My mom had a couple of those Charles Shultz books also – “Happiness is a Warm Puppy” was my favorite.
- Help! Non-English people and places in my family tree? A great question from The New Genealogist. I’d love to hear the “correct” answer. Anyone? I admit that I usually write “Germany” instead of “Deutschland”, but I try to keep the town name original to the native language. I guess that’s not being very consistent, is it??
- Nancy at My Ancestors and Me had a great wedding post – The Activities and Expectations of a Bride in 1914.
- Happy Blogiversary to Debbie over at Mascot Manor Genealogy. Her blog was one year old last week.
- Ginger had a great post – Using Google Images to Find Your Ancestors. Head over to Genealogy By Ginger’s Blog to check it out.
- Sometimes discovering a spelling mistake can be an exciting thing. Heather at Leaves for Trees was pleasantly surprised when she found one.
- I”m interested to hear tonight’s edition of Geneabloggers Radio – Copyright and Genealogy- Yours, Mine and Ours.
And a few pics from this past week:
Thanks for the mention. It’s much appreciated. (BTW, you have the most photogenic children. I always enjoy your pictures.)
You are too kind, Jen!
Hey Jen,
Thanks for the mention! I love your other Follow Fridays!

Thank you for linking to my post this week. I appreciate it. Thanks also for highlighting posts on other people’s blogs. Your “girl” whose photographs you have above has the most beautiful green eyes!
Great photos! I’ve often tried to take photos of birds and other animals without much luck–your turtle and owl photos are awesome.
Thanks Sheryl! There are two owls that live at the Sergeants Major Academy where my husband is attending. They are always in the trees in the courtyard and they don’t move around much, so they are pretty easy to capture. The turtle is our pet and we let him loose in the backyard for some exercise.
I love photographing animals – keep at it and you’ll get some good shots!
Thanks Nancy!
Thanks Eliza
Thanks Linda! They are getting pretty sick of me chasing them around with the camera. I have to start taking pictures of neighborhood kids soon!
