My Tangent - Fog and Chowder

I have been on my phone for almost three hours trying to understand a change in my benefit plan... Exasperation short of frustration.

This morning it’s somewhat overcast with a bit of fog, but not like the days in New Brunswick or Grand Manan. At least I know it’ll burn off shortly down here. And I just looked outside, fog gone, sun shining.

Last night supper sort of a chowder: Italian sausage, potato, carrots, onion, celery, garlic, cabbage, chicken broth and thyme. I used the food processor to chop up the “hard” vegetables as I didn’t want to wait the full extra hour of simmering to soften them. It worked.

I’m trying to get my hands around what I need to accomplish in the Blog in the next week.

My thoughts and expectations:

• Farm – Plant peas and garden beans, from seed… Hah!
• Blog – Update links
• Web Site – Develop Dreamweaver start
• Research – Smith and Freemasonry in Grenada
• Research – GG-Grandfather James Smith’s generation and documentation
• Research – Check to see if I have Baptism entries for gg-granduncle George Smith; gg-grandaunts Sophia (née Smith) Ventour and Mary Ann (née Smith) Steele
• Research – GG-Grandfather Jacques Brunhammer
• DNA – Understand new results of Robertson mtDNA, maternal DNA
• DNA – Confirm results of Brunhammer YDNA
• GenoPro – Update charts
• GenoPro – Create Crossley, Scott, Abraham Descendancy charts
• GenoPro – Create Doherty Descendancy chart
• TMG – Begin new Brunhammer database
• Create 16-Line Brunhammer Ancestral Chart
• Quilts – Post Woven Scraps
• Quilts – 5 more completed: 2 of 3 of Antique blends; 2 of 5 of Little Sisters; and Trains, Boats, Cars, and Trucks.
• Quilts – Retake pictures, as sunlight made them look washed out.
• Quilts – 7 tops done in progress to be quilted

And I'm still on the phone!!!

Try to enjoy your day,

Jim
