I am so ready for some down time (and genealogy is my down time)! I just finished up a spouses’ leadership development course, which was every night from 5-10 for two weeks. It severely cut into my evening computer time, but it was well worth the sacrifice. I also just finished my first ever marathon (walking, not running) this past weekend and am still recovering. I have managed a bit of blog reading this week – some of it on my phone. I just love technology.
Everyone is talking about the upcoming release of the 1940 census, so many of my favorite posts this week revolve around that:
- My 1940 U.S. Census Expectations at Genea-Musings
- Find Your Family in the 1940 Census infographic on Archives.com
- This week’s Geneabloggers Radio show is of course about the 1940 census!!
- Sins of the Father at Curbow-Montoya Family
- Dear Genetic Cousin at The Legal Genealogist
- Happy Birthday Girl Scouts! at Nutfield Genealogy
- A couple of new blogs I started following this week: Hummingbird on Her Hand, Sassy Genealogist, and Colleen and Jeff’s Roots
And a few pictures from this past week…
This is at about mile 8 of the Bataan Memorial Death March, I think. I was still happy and carefree.
And at mile 26 I was so happy to be only .2 of a mile from the finish line!!
Great pictures, Jen! I’m so proud of you. You worked so hard!!!
Thanks for the mention, Jen, and congratulations on finishing that leadership program and the memorial marathon!
Thanks for mentioning my Girl Scout post! I’ve heard from so many women about their Girl Scout experiences, and I’m glad I shared these photos. It’s fun to know so many others had fun in Scouting.
