It was a pretty quiet day in the genea-home, since all of the family are at their homes doing family things. Lori and her boys had dinner with friends, and Tami and her family went to Disneyland. It rained quite a bit today here, and I figured out what was banging in the backyard. Duh - the gate latch is missing and the wind was doing it.
* We did Christmas after breakfast, turned the tree on, opened gifts, and done. I got 4 more boxes of See's candy. Linda got earrings and three tops.
* Online at 8:30 a.m., read email and blogs, noted that Merry Christmas to All! posted and wrote On Christmas Day...My Ancestors That Had a Special Event. Decided that was enough blogging for the day.
* Added to the Best Of post, answered email, checked Facebook, and took a short nap.
* Had lunch, online to resolved about 450 Ancestry Hints, adding content and sources to RootsMagic as needed. Checked Twitter and Facebook.
* We left at 3:20 p.m. for dinner at Cafe Lamaze, Black Angus, In n Out, and Filippis (all were closed!) and finally Marie Callenders. I had the turkey dinner and Linda had the salad bar. Posted photos on Facebook. We looked at Christmas lights on the way home.
* Home by 5:30 p.m. to watch TV news and read the paper.
* Online at 6 p.m. to read, add to the Best Of post, talked to Lori, TreeShared 160 profiles (about 60 to go), wrote the Wordless Wednesday post, and wrote this post. Genealogy today was 8.0 hours.

Well, our Christmas season starts tomorrow with the arrival of one daughter and two grandboys. I'm trying to prepare blogs ahead of time but am failing! It didn't help tonight that I watched the dismal Frisco Bowl with SDSU losing to Ohio 27-0 and it wasn't that close.
* Read email and blogs, added to the Best Of post and noted that Randy Riding his Horse Trike in About 1945 -- Post 545 of (Not So) Wordless Wednesday posted. Wrote Family History Fanatics Presents a 2019 Winter DNA eConference (26 January 2019) and set it for later.
* Worked on AncestryDNA matches for awhile adding notes. Went in at 11 a.m. and had lunch, then gathered my stuff and left at 11:20 a.m. for the library.
* Got set up and we had only 13 for the CVGS DNA group. I went through the DNA-Central news and also MyHeritageDNA features.
* Home by 2:30 p.m., and noted that Historical Records of an American Santa Claus posted. Added to the Best Of post, and checked Twitter and Facebook. Took an hour nap.
* Went in at 5 p.m. to watch the Aztecs bowl game and had to prepare most of the dinner - mac and meat and cheese under directions of a masterful cook. Finally ate after 5:30 and watched the game, read the paper, and washed dishes.
* Online at 8 p.m. to read, then checked out the 52 Ancestor profile and it needs lots of work. I started the notes on it. Then wrote the Treasure Chest post. Checked email, added to the Best Of post, checked Facebook, and wrote this post. Genealogy today was 7.5 hours.

* Answered email, and then went in and decorated the fake tree and the TV hutch. It almost feels Christmasy now. Wrapping is tomorrow!
* Had lunch. We left at 12:30 for Linda's teeth cleaning. She needs a crown. Spent 45 minutes at the library. Good to walk a little bit. We went to the 99 Cent store for wrapping paper, lots of cans and other needed stuff. Home before 3 p.m.

Genea-Journal - Sunday, 16 December 2018
This was not much of a genealogy day with church and football, but I made some progress. And even got out the Christmas tree and put it up after about five years in the garage. We still need to decorate it, and 20% of the lights don't work. It's the spirit that counts, right?
* Read email and blogs and finished up the Best Of post. We left for church at 9:40 a.m. and learned that the pastor was leaving.
* Home by 11:20 a.m., noted that Added and Updated Ancestry.com Record Collections - Week of 9 to 15 December 2018 posted, and transcribed the deed and wrote the Amanuensis post.
* Went in at 12:30 to have lunch, then watched football and read the paper, and even got a 45 minute nap. Got the fake tree out of the garage, and cleaned it up a bit, and set it up in the living room. Some of the lights don't work, and it needs some decorations and we'll do that this week. Watched more football until 4:15.
* Online to read, noted that Best of the Genea-Blogs - 10 to 16 December 2018 posted. Worked some on random profiles in the database trying to add content and sources to the tree.
* Went in at 5:15 p.m. to eat dinner, watch the late game, and wash dishes. Got the last of the cards finished too.
* Online at 6:30 p.m. to read, add to the Best Of post, matched some profiles with Family Tree in James' line and added some of his ancestors to my tree. Then resolved about 90 Ancestry Hints, adding content and sources to the RootsMagic tree.
* Went in to watch Football Night in San Diego at 8:45, and online at 9:30 to check Facebook and write this post. Genealogy today was 5.0 hours.

Genea-Journal - Saturday, 15 December 2018
This was a different Saturday - had my men's breakfast meeting, then home to find RootsMagic was honked up, I think by Ancestry. That got fixed in the late afternoon. Whew! Got all the Christmas cards done, except we need more cards.
* Read email and blogs on my phone, and we left at 7:30 a.m. for Marie Callenders for breakfast with my men's Bible Study group. Had a nice time. Home by 9:45 a.m.
\* Online to read blogs, noted that Surname Saturday -- BOYLSTON (England to colonial Massachusetts) posted.
* Tried to use RootsMagic and received an SQLite error. Shut down RootsMagic, tried again, couldn't sign into Ancestry using TreeShare or WebHints. Rebooted the computer and still the problem. Went to Facebook and many users had the problem, and found out that Ancestry had implemented their Two-Step Verification scheme for security, and that messed up the API that RootsMagic and Family Tree Maker use to sync with Ancestry Member Trees and provide WebHints. Bruce Buzbee fixed it in the afternoon, and it works now. He probably talked them into letting us bypass the Two-Step scheme until it can be implemented with a new API and RM release.
* Had lunch, noted that Saturday Night Genealogy Fun - Make a Surname Christmas Tree posted. Wrote the FamilySearch and Ancestry update posts. Checked Facebook regularly.
* Went in at 2 p.m. to watch TV and try to nap in the recliner. Partial success. Felt crappy - I think it's the breakfast.
* Online at 3:30 p.m. to read, checked Twitter and Facebook, and we did the rest of the Christmas cards. We need another box of cards to finish off the last 5 envelopes. Tomorrow?
* Went in at 5 p.m. to watch TV, eat dinner, read the paper, and then watched football and did the dishes.
* Online at 6:30 p.m. to read, noted that Added or Updated Record Collections at FamilySearch.org - Week of 9 to 15 December 2018 posted, and then worked in RootsMagic finding random Seaver profiles not in FamilySearch Family Tree. Matched many profiles and added content both ways as required.

* Online at 6:30 p.m. to read, folded about 40 letters and stuffed envelopes with Linda. Printed off the second side of the other 40 letters done a week ago before the printer problem.

Almost done with shopping now. We went to Costco and I bought a printer ($$) and more ink ($$$). The Chargers won. I blogged a bit.
* Online at 8 a.m. to read email and blogs, added to the Best Of post, and noted that 1748 Guardianship of Christopher Kenyon -- Post 440 for Treasure Chest Thursday posted.
* Wrote the Seavers in the News - William K. Seaver Dies in 1951 in Utah post and set it for later.
* We left at 11 a.m. for Costco, and got my printer (an HP 6958 for $89, they had only two models) and extra ink ($140), plus other things we needed. Had lunch there. Home by 1 p.m.
* Set up the printer. The CD didn't work, so I used the website to install software. The wireless didn't work because it couldn't find my IP address and SSID (whatever that is), so I hooked it up by USB. Tested it out and it works fine. Printed off 40 Christmas letters two sided - about one per minute on average. Multi-tasked with email and blog reading while it worked.
* Checked Twitter and Facebook. Worked on the 52 Ancestor subject and got the blog post started.
* Went in at 5 p.m. to watch the Chargers game, ate dinner, read the paper, and more of my book. Chargers were behind by 14 three times and came back to win 29-28 on a two point conversion with 4 seconds left. Whew! So tied with KC at 11-3 now, but still a wild card team at this time.
* Online at 8:45 p.m. to write the 52 Ancestors post, answered email, checked Facebook, and added to the Best Of post. Genealogy today (not counting the printer installation) was 4.5 hours.

This was almost an all genealogy day. I did some shopping, and we went to the CVGS luncheon. Tried to fix the printer again.
* Online at 7:30 a.m., read email and blogs, added to the Best Of post, and noted that Randy and Grandpa Having Fun in 1945 -- Post 544 of (Not So) Wordless Wednesday posted.
* Did some shopping for Linda and failed again. JC Penneys is the only outlet for one beautiful item in the right color and no other store sells it. They're out of it - returned my money. Crap.
* We wrapped two packages, and got the cranberry sauce in a dish and some cans to donate, and off to the CVGS luncheon. The food was OK, but the program was too long. Gary played Victor Borge videos that weren't loud enough and weren't that funny. We picked two packages in the gift exchange with candles. Crap. We will regift them next year if we can find where I hid them.
* Home by 2 p.m. to read, and wrote Dear Randy - Why Do You Write the 52 Ancestors Friday Posts? Checked Twitter and Facebook.
* Worked with the printer by turning all text into green and red. That worked for the text, but the photos came out screwy. Changed all the cartridges and they're still screwy. I think the black print head or the cartridge exit is clogged. Will try again, but I think I'm getting a new printer for Christmas!
* Went in at 5:15 p.m. for dinner, read the paper, put out the trash, watched TV news, and washed dishes.
* Online at 6:30 p.m. to read, add to the Best Of post, wrote the Treasure Chest post, and then TreeShared 120 profiles in RootsMagic. About 60 left now. Did Amazon gift card shopping. Only Linda left now!
