Halloween was a disappointment. Only 5 kids in two groups came late trick or treating. Oh well. At least they said thank you. And now I have more M&Ms to enjoy - the leftovers. There was method to my madness.
* Dropped Linda off, home to read, noted that Hallowe'en Name Whacking Revisited and Young Randy in the Carringer Garden -- Post 538 of (Not So) Wordless Wednesday posted. Picked her up, and home by 9:15 a.m.
* Added to the Best Of post, answered email, and added notes to some AncestryDNA matches. Rested my eyes for 30 minutes.
* Had lunch, gathered my stuff, and off to the library for the CVGS program meeting. Judy did her talk and we enjoyed the Halloween goodies. Found out that Karen will leave us soon - boo!
* Home by 2 p.m. to read, wrote CVGS Saturday Workshop Features FamilySearch Digital Microfilm, and checked Twitter and Facebook. Exhausted so took a nap.
* Online at 4:30 p.m. to read, add to the Best Of post, checked Facebook, and then went in for dinner, watched TV news and read the paper, then washed dishes. Put out the trash, and waited for the trickortreaters who never came.
* Online at 6:30 p.m. to read, write the Treasure Chest post, do some research on the Ephraim and Jeremiah Smith families of Rhode Island without much success, and researched one of Susi's puzzles without success.
* TreeShared the other 80 profiles, and added to the Best Of post. Wrote this post. Genealogy today was 8.5 hours.

My Genealogy Monday - 22 October 2018
This was daughter Tami's birthday, but she spent it laid up at home with a number of health problems. Kids get older too. My day was dominated by toilets.
* Dropped Linda off at 7:30, home to read, picked her up at 8:50 and home at 9 a.m.
* Got into Mondays With Myrt and discussed my DNA class, which led to as discussion of CeCe Moore's 60 Minutes interview, and then privacy issues. We had a good discussion.
* I called Bob the plumber and he came right away to fix the flushing mechanism on the master bathroom toilet (plastic thing broke) and he fixed the plugger thingie on the bathroom sink too. I showed him the rocking toilet in the guest bathroom, and he noted it was cracked at the base and could break at any time. He recommended replacing it and said he would give us a price to fix it. All in less than an hour.
* Online at 11:30 a.m. to note that Amanuensis Monday - 1813 Deed of Shobal C. Allen to Zachariah Hildreth Jr. in Townsend, Mass. posted, added to the Best Of post, and had lunch. Wrote Monday Genea-Pourri - 22 October 2018. Took my nap.
* Online at 2:30 p.m. to read, matched a whole section of my Seaver folks to Family Tree, and then checked Twitter and Facebook.
* Went in at 5:15 p.m. to watch TV news, read the paper, eat dinner, and wash dishes. Bob called with the quote and he will come tomorrow to install my birthday toilet. Cool.
* Online at 7 p.m. to read, talked to Lori, and wrote the Treasure Chest post. Added to the Best Of post, checked Facebook, and wrote this post. Genealogy today was 8.0 hours.
Tomorrow is my 75th birthday, so blogging may be lighter than usual. I hope I like my birthday toilet. We're going out to dinner.

My Semi-Genealogy Weekend - 20-21 October 2018
I say "semi" because there was a lot of other stuff happening, but I did do some research. And blog.
1) Saturday, 20 October:
* Dropped Linda off, went to Marie Callenders for men's Bible study, we started in on Judges. got through first 5 chapters. Picked Linda up at 9:45 and we went to Costco, and home by 10:30 a.m.
* Online to note that Surname Saturday -- CRISPE (England to colonial New England) posted, added to the Best Of post, and answered email. Took a nap and missed the SDGS luncheon. Oh well.
* Had lunch, then wrote the FamilySearch and Ancestry posts. Noted that Saturday Night Genealogy Fun - How Did You Get to School? posted.
* Looked for almost two hours for the Mayflower application a lady sent me 3 years ago. I didn't find the email, but I did find the file in Downloads. Sent it to Laura.
Checked Facebook and saw the Seaver Clan page was available, so read that for a bit. It had some Seaver lines on it, so I started searching and added about 40 more Seaver folks to the database.
* Went in at 5:30 p.m. to watch the baseball game, eat dinner, read the paper, wash dishes, and then watched the Aztecs game. Aztecs won 16-13 but it was close against San Jose State. Lucky.
* Game was over at 10:30, so checked email and blogs, noted that Added or Updated Record Collections at FamilySearch.org - Week of 14 to 20 October 2018 posted. Did not journal. Genealgy this day was 5.0 hours.
2) Sunday, 21 October:
* The toilet handle broke this morning and we have to flush by pulling up on the arm inside the tank. The float doesn't seat properly either. Drat.
* Up at 6:30 a.m. to watch the Chargers game in London, they won 20-19. Read email and blogs on my phone. We left for church at 9:40, stopped at the store on the way home, and home by 11:45 a.m.
* Edited the Best Of post, noted that Added, Updated and Coming Soon Ancestry.com Record Collections - Week of 14 to 20 October 2018 posted, and went in for lunch, watch football and read the paper. Dozed a bit in the recliner.
* Online at 2:30 p.m. to note that Best of the Genea-Blogs - 14 to 20 October 2018 posted, and transcribed a deed and wrote the Amanuensis Monday post. Answered email. Added more content for those Seavers I worked on Saturday.
* Went in at 4:30 to watch football, we ate dinner, and I clipped the rose bushes for 30 minutes. Watered the plants, washed dishes, and took out trash.
* Online at 6:30 p.m. to read, answer email, and TreeShared the big tree, adding all of those Seaver folks to my AMT. Also matched them to Family Tree. Worked on random tree people adding content and sources from Hints and Searches in Ancestry.
* Checked Facebook, and wrote this post. Genealogy today was 5.5 hours.

* Went in at 4:30 to watch football, we ate dinner, and I clipped the rose bushes for 30 minutes. Watered the plants, washed dishes, and took out trash.
* Online at 6:30 p.m. to read, answer email, and TreeShared the big tree, adding all of those Seaver folks to my AMT. Also matched them to Family Tree. Worked on random tree people adding content and sources from Hints and Searches in Ancestry.
* Checked Facebook, and wrote this post. Genealogy today was 5.5 hours.
