Where Does The Time Go?
Where does the time go? This spring/summer seems to be busier than normal. Perhaps I have too much on my plate. I haven’t spent any time during the last month working on genealogy, and for the past 3 weeks or so – no new blog posts. This, after building up a few subscribers and having new friends begin to post comments – then “poof”, I’ve fallen off the face of the Earth.
What have I been doing? Between working on homework for my MBA classes, we underwent a remodel in our bathroom which had our house tore up. Fortunately, it wasn’t too expensive and worked out just great but it added to the household stress. However, that wasn’t the main thing that kept me busy – it was my new hobby (as if I needed another!) of going to auctions.
I had been to a few auctions as a kid with my folks – one of my early memories was of a personal property sale of my great uncles house,
I've managed to learn a bit about the psychology of the sales and "win" a few lots. Lots of junk, mostly. I did, however, manage to turn some of it into a profit at the town rummage. Then there is the stuff that may end up on Ebay.
Somewhere in there I need to catch up on my research, answer the emails that have been ignored, and post some more "pre-loaded" and now "back-dated" posts about family milestones on the events that occurred in June that I might have missed.
Oh, and I still need to write another paper for class....

Of Apples and Such
Received a wonderful comment from Susan, regarding my paternal 6th-great grandfather, Samuel JEWETT. It seems that Samuel shared my interest in gardening, as according to this website about his farm, he was the developer of the type of apple known as Jewett Red or "Nodhead", which is a dessert variety.
Apparently, the apple was named "Nodhead" after Samuel, who had a reputation for nodding his head while walking or talking. Did a quick search online to find that this variety is not known outside of New England. Interesting.
Would love to see if I can locate a couple of these type of apple trees to plant in my backyard. What an interesting way to have a connection with a long distant ancestor.
Apparently, the apple was named "Nodhead" after Samuel, who had a reputation for nodding his head while walking or talking. Did a quick search online to find that this variety is not known outside of New England. Interesting.
