My Semi-Genealogy Weekend - 17-18 December 2016

Only 6 more shopping days before Christmas.  I think I'm done.  The biggest problem is making sure Linda doesn't hide stuff where she can't find it.  Beautiful days this weekend - sunny but cool - highs in the 60s lows in the 40s, clear blue skies overhead.

1)  Saturday, 17 December:

*  Dropped Linda at the Y, home to read email and blogs, picked her up at 8:45 and we had breakfast with the church men's Bible study and spouses at Marie Callenders.  After breakfast, we went to 99 Cent Store for stuff.  Home by 11:30 a.m.

*  Had a headache, briefly online to note that Surname Saturday -- WEAVER (England to colonial New England) posted.  Went in to watch football, dozed in the recliner which made the headache worse, then watched the SDSU/Houston bowl game.  Aztecs were behind 10-0 in the first quarter, then won 34-10 with opportunity defense and enough offense.  Aztecs end up 11-3.

*  Online briefly to note that Saturday Night Genealogy Fun - Pauleen's Christmas Meme posted.  We left at 4 p.m. for Costco for more shopping, then to dinner at Black Angus.  Home by 6:30 p.m.  Watched TV news, read the paper.

*  Online at 7 p.m. to read, add to the Best Of post, and write the Ancestry and FamilySearch posts.  I was really tired, so went in at 8:30 to watch TV, and read my book.  Genealogy this day was about 3 hours.

2)  Sunday, 18 December:

*  Read emails and blogs during Meet the Depressed, then off to church at 9:30, and home by 12 noon after shopping at Ralphs.  Watched football and read the paper.  Chargers on at 1:25 and they led most of the game until the 4th period against the Raiders.  We lost 19-16.  Now 5-9.

*  Online at 4:30 p.m. to note that Best of the Genea-Blogs - Week of 11 to 17 December 2016 posted.  Went in at 5:30 p.m. to fix dinner, eat and watch TV news.

*  Online at 6:30 p.m. to note that Added or Updated Databases at Ancestry.com - Week of 11 to 17 December 2016 posted.  Transcribed the document and wrote the Amanuensis post.  

*  Checked Facebook, checked Ancestry Hints, signed up for MwM, and wrote this post.  Genealogy today was 4.0 hours.
