Stories of family, creativity, and diverse distractions.

Happy Thanksgiving!

We hope all of our family and friends enjoy time with others and good food on this Thanksgiving Day!

We’ll be back with more family history next week. We are looking forward to opting outside Friday. Walt’s work is always closed on the Friday after Thanksgiving.

You can find my stuffing recipe here.

Happy Birthday Casper Strothman!

Casper Strothman was born on Nov 21, 1821. His daughter, Mary, married Walt’s second great uncle Eustace Link.

Happy Birthday Great-Grandfather Richard Mendenhall!

Richard Mendenhall was born on November 14, 1794 in North Carolina. He is Walt’s 3rd great-grandfather.

But is it the Whole Story?

I recently received a certificate for 15 years of service at work. As I was looking at it, I thought about how someone looking at it in the future might think I had worked there for the last 15 years.
