Over the holidays I bought a new computer so I could start working on collections team while volunteering at the Aitkin County Historical Society - start of the next phase of my life in the place where I always wanted to be. It is home. With this new purchase I now have my very own, not family shared computer, for the first time since 2009 I think and it is set up with all of my own accounts. While I was exploring today, I found our old family blog and it brought back so many memories of how therapeutic blogging is. So maybe I will start to do this again. I will probably share more of what I am working on with the family tree work I am doing and items that intrest me that I am finding at the historical society. Don't really care if anyone reads it, but it is to keep my record of things that I find because I am really starting to have a very hard time remembering things, pretty sure my brain is full.
It has been years. Yes, really years since I have posted last. I was so relieved to find this blog still here waiting for me to come back to visit. I have done a lot of thinking over the past few months about who I am and where I have come from after my dad passed away. So, I think I will take this time and this outlet to explore that. Where this was once a place where I documented every day as it unfolded I will do the same with the stories that come to me. Hopefully I will stick to this and use this as a conduit to many different things. I will be back. I hope. So good to see you again old friend.
