Flying along with Life....

So things have been hectic around here - to say the least ... and I have been utterly busy.  I have been blogging between busyness but .... not on this one.  I have been having a good time over at my genealogy blog ...  talking about Dennis' ancestor Susannah (North) Martin who was killed in Salem as a Witch in 1692.   I found out my family was in the area at the time, but haven't found the connection to the Salem Witch Trials...... yet.....   Also, did you know there were Witch Trials in Connecticut for long before and long after the Salem debacle?   Well now you do .... 

I had tons of relatives in Connecticut during that time too.... so in addition to the Salem Witch in the family, I've told the story of my 10x Great Grandmother Sarah who was axe murdered by her brother infront of her children, original Lizzy Borden family anyone?  I can now say "I'm gonna go Lizzy Borden on your arse" and ....it could be a reality... Then there was her sister, Mercy, who killed her son with an axe... and her sister Elizabeth was accused of fornication prior to her marriage and having a child by another man (apparently she was 3 months pregnant on her wedding day with her husband) ....  Her husband was finally granted a divorce and once he was, Elizabeth sorta vanished. 

Anyway - that's located on this blog of mine.  (just click on the button to go there if you'd like to)

And then over at My Unique Flowers .....  (again click on the button to go there)

I finished the COREY'S DAY ON THE FARM series (8 blogs in total, and you can get to any of them from any of the blogs - they all have links on them - so I linked up to the first one.)   Corey's Day on the Farm is a special event for "Differently Abled" kids to get a chance to ride horses ... to experience a petting farm, to do hay & tractor rides....  just an all around fun day.  Having two kids who fall in that category, we are always excited to go.   Here are a couple pictures from the day ... check out the blogs over there to see the TON of photos from that AMAZING day!!!

Also, I just finished the blogs over there from Nathan's hospitalization for his Cleft Palate repair (new ear tubes were also placed, and his uvula was repaired too)  ...   we were in the hospital Friday to Monday ...  (lovely Memorial Day weekend for us) ......

BTW - thank you to all our amazing men and women who have fought for our freedom!!  This includes my Husband, my Dad, my Step-Dad, Grandparents, a couple Cousins....  THANK YOU!!!  I hope everyone else had a WONDERFUL MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND!!!

So here are the links for that......Direct Links ... Pre-Surgery.... Post-Surgery ...  Day 1 After ... Day 2 After....  Day 3 & Going Home......  there is also the Treasures Through the Hospital (we spend day two exploring the hospital a little and taking some photos of the fun around the hospital) .... and if you want to just want to see a few photos, check out my Wordless Wednesday from today .... here are a couple though ... (different ones from my Wordless Wednesday)

I still have some updating to do over there ...... 

And on another note, through the chaos of packing for the hospital, the surgery, the worry, and everything else....  I was participating in ICLW again ... and in the 9th hour - I got them read!!  I'm so proud of myself....

I got my 5th Iron Commenter which meant I went onto Titanium Commenter - YAY!!!
