Bunko, and other things

Thursday night I learned how to play Bunko. I was asked if I would like to be a substitute for the evening. I had missed the first night of play, so I said yes. Mostly because I would get to see some of my teacher friends. I knew nothing about the game other than it takes twelve people to play. I had so much fun. Just getting to see friends and laugh and eat and laugh and play and just have a really good time! I was asked if I would like to become a permanent member of the group but declined because it would mean I would have to host a game night (prepare the meal, buy prizes, etc.). I really wouldn't mind, but with all the other things I have going on I just didn't see how I could do another thing. I did agree to put my name on the sub list so if a regular member couldn't attend, I would. I hope someone won't be able to attend next month!

This morning Charles had to be at the Lodge by 6 to start cooking pancakes and sausage for their fund raiser breakfast. A group of us from the library met there for breakfast and, boy, was it good--especially watching Charles cook! He has to prepare a meal for Tuesday night. I think it's going to be beans and cornbread again. That went over pretty well last time. I offered to make some cookies but he said I didn't have to. Thanks, honey! In order to be sure that he got up in time, we had to set the alarm. I don't like having to get up so early. And I am tired.

It's always fun to help researchers at the library. I enjoy working on the queries we get via email. I spent today trying to answer a couple of questions that came in yesterday. In searching through records I found new information on my own family! And reading through the newspapers with their community news is always a treat. Lots of information about what was going on at the time and lots of family information. One of the things I was looking for was the name of the parents of a certain person. It's like a scavenger hunt. You get one clue which leads you to another clue until you find the treasure. With genealogy the key is to be sure to be able to prove what you've found. I found info on the internet but had to have proof that it was indeed who I was looking for. A search through census records was all it took. I am sure that the person who sent the query will be excited to see what all I found for him. Now, if I could only find the name of my 3rd great grandparents Campbell.

Looks like we may have some winter weather coming. I have the PCCSM Clothing Center next week. If school is cancelled the center is closed. I haven't decided if I want that to happen or not.
