With only one more Sunday to go before we head home.
The week went by really fast. Rog got the outside of the RV washed and a good coat of wax on the front end cap. I haven’t done a whole lot but sit and knit and walk the dog. I did get a haircut and we did make that trip to Costco on Wednesday, but that’s been about it.
Although a family member contacted us and we started talking about Geneology and descendants, etc., so that got me started. I am so addicted. I will be turning on my websites when I get back. I spent a couple hours updating the family tree software, downloading the latest version of the tree from Ancestry, and thinking about what my next step is. I left an unfinished project at home so I have to work on that.
Today I was contacted by someone in Germany who is looking for info - or has some - I’m not sure which. The email came through one of the websites that I can’t get into at the moment, but his email was there, so I’m thinking while I sit here watching the clothes tumble in the dryer I’ll write to him and get more info. Could be something interesting.
Rog and I signed up for the Nevada Health Initiative - a study being done by the local medical group, Renown, in association with the Desert Research Institute (part of the University of Nevada). When we get home we will fill out some questionnaires and give a saliva sample for DNA processing. They will be looking at all kinds of health things but the bonus is that at the end they will give you, not only your DNA data, but the ancestor information as well - such as what ethnic group and where your ancestors came from. We are looking forward to participating.
We are watching the weather forecast carefully and preparing ourselves for the trip home. We will take three days. First night to Kingman, AZ, then Beatty, NV, then Hawthorne, NV and then home on the 7th. I talked with my neighbor yesterday and she will turn the heat up for us!!!
