Dead or Alive

As Betty said, our Rootsweb family websites have risen from the dead.  So far, they are static because I can not get my new password to work to update the Powell site. Some of the links do not work with their new server.  Anyway, I  have added links to our family pages and our worldconnect family databases to the side links on this blog.  We are so pleased just to have them back online, even if we cannot at this time update or edit any of the pages.

Progress

The bathroom is in the right place now and the walls are all up.  This week I have to Mudd the seams and paint the rest of the wall.

Next week is put down the floor and then put the vanity in place.

We are getting closer.

Walking, talking, and posting

Today, I walked to the far side of the Meek hill, just over miles round trip. I tried the s peach to text in google again with some success and some failure. I hound that to insert ,?! And . You only need to say comma, question mark and so on. So, I wonder how you get it to type out comma or period?  I even found that to insert a paragraph you say new paragraph.  Did not try that cause I could not get google to give me back the keyboard for editing meek hill which google thought was meguiel.  

Best news of the week is that our dead people websites are back, carroll county history, powell and stand ridge family history.  We are very pleased that ancestry.com brought then back up.

I cannot get the phone to copy and paste so it will be Monday before I get links on blog corrected.

Today I will take the kids to harrison if they want to go.  Maybe to a movie or just shopping. We will play it by ear

Half bath

We now have a working tub and toilet in my bathroom.  It looks so nice.  Brother does such a good job.  I had no idea he could do all this stuff like the plumbing and all the carpenter work.  

James Furry December 26 1919 - April 29 2016

I was wondering about Patsy's friend James.  Searched and found his obit here

and several photos placed here by his loving family, including this one from 1940

Papa and his horse, at the old Furry homeplace north of lake Brownwood. Circa 1940s 


There is even a video.  Patsy would love to see her friend and hear his stories.

Walking, 64 degrees, huray

Okay I am walking well  actually  I got to the Blue Gate And now I'm going back homeIt was 64 degrees this morning And I just couldn't resistMost days I have been resistingThis is all run together Because I am doing Helen thing And Talking into the phone to write thisIt is working much better than when Helen does it because I speak so much More clearly than Helen As you can see But I don't know how to put in Paragraph Or periods Or spices Certainly not buy it said spices instead of spaces and it said as in purchase instead of byMust be Helen stop Probably no one will read this anyway Since it's all run together But I might edited and then run it I think Gilbert may be coming over today to work on my other bathroom So far He has the subfloor down looking great The bathtub is installed but water not hooked up to it The outside wall is up and sheetrocked both in walls are sheetrocked And I have painted The walls that are up A Grayish green color I think it looks very pretty The other walls I'm going to paint white or off-white So far We don't have other walls done I have purchased Everything for the bathroom except for small incidentals And so we are ready Whenever whenever Gilbert decides to start in on the rest of it Greg Easier with just one bathroom

I think that is all I can't figure out How to get the phone to let me put in punctuation so This is probably long enough With all this run together Should be fun to read
