Happy Birthday, Honey
Today was Eileen's birthday, and I was glad we were able to spend it together. We spent the early morning hours enjoying the pool.
We ended up going out shopping with her mother, who then took us both out to eat for a nice birthday dinner. I had a good time today, just relaxing and I think Eileen did too. We exchanged her perfume for the correct one, and the bonus was that I ended up saving a few bucks in the exchange.
Shopping with mother-in-law was a new experience, but I actually enjoyed it. She's full of funny stories.
Then over dinner we found out that mother-in-law has some old family pictures that she is planning to donate to a local history museum. These are previously unknown photos - so I urged her to let us look at them and possibly make copies before she donates them. Will hopefully be able to get them scanned.
When the girls get back from fishing in Minnesota, we'll have a proper cake and ice cream party.

Civil War Pension Index Card: William F. METZNER
Was finally able to get images to download from Footnote.com, perhaps my vent of frustration helped? Nah.
This is the Civil War Pension Index card for William F. METZNER, my paternal 2nd-great granduncle. This card was indexed at Footnote.com as William T. METZNER. As you can see by the cursive script, sometimes "Fs" and "Ts" can appear similar.
The cool find for me on this card was that it gives his exact date of death and the location. Although I probably had this fact somewhere, I only had the year in my Rootsmagic database. Bryant, Indiana is in Jay County, where William and his wife Mary lived for a number of years.
I believe that I may have his Civil War pension in my files, will have to scan it and make sure I glean all the information that I can from it. William was a private in Company E., 89th Regiment Indiana Infantry.
William was born January 6, 1844 in Licking County, Ohio, the son of John and Catherine (YOUNG) METZNER. He was the brother of my ancestor, John Adam METZNER. William married December 8, 1867 in Jay County, Indiana to Mary Ann HALEY, daughter of Sebastian and Lydia A. (RADER) HALEY. They had eight children: John W., Irvin G., Amanda A., Pearl M., Barb M., Laura Belle, Lydia J., and Louetta Jane. William's occupation was listed as farmer and furniture dealer in the census records.

I Should Have Taken French
Earlier this year, while my wife & I were shopping with my mother-in-law and the girls, we went to Elder Beerman nearby Kokomo. There, my wife sampled various perfumes, and found one that she liked. She gave me a copy of a marked card, telling me exactly what type of perfume it was. Being the good husband, I dutifully placed the card in my wallet, sure that I would have the perfect birthday present in a few months.
Fast forward to today, one day before her birthday, when I (as always) had procrastinated and not purchased her birthday present. Early morning I headed out to our Elder Beerman in Marion, sure that it would be a quick in and out. I was wrong.
The perfume that she wanted was called Le Bateleur made by Dolce & Gabanna. I went to the counter and was unable to find the perfume. Asking the clerk if they carried that particular type, I was disappointed to learn that they did not.
Normally, panic mode would have sat in, but I knew that latter in the day we might be heading to Kokomo, which has a bigger Elder Beerman, so there was a chance I could still redeem myself. Though I was not thrilled with the prospect of buying her present while she was there, at least I wouldn't be empty handed.
As today progressed, my mother-in-law wanted to buy my wife some shoes and make-up from Elder Beerman, so I returned for the second time in one day to the store. It was not a good shopping day, as the store didn't have the type of Clinique that my wife needed either. After a few phone calls, the store clerk managed to find out that the Anderson store had a supply of the make up and we headed back on down the highway.
At the Anderson store, I panicked again as I couldn't find the Le Bateleur anywhere. I finally asked the clerk, in front of my wife, if they carried this type - as all I could find was Dolce & Gabana's Light Blue.
The clerk tells me that Le Bateleur means "light blue" in French, so I bought the perfume. Perhaps I have "sucker" written on my face. Of course, all of these perfumes are named in French, and I took German in high school and college. Anyway, my wife did like the perfume, so she seems happy. However, I once again fell victim to a sales clerk, because if I would have checked it out I would have known that it didn't mean 'light blue'. My French-speaking ancestors would have been horrified at my performance today.
BTW, I did look it up - seems that Le Bateleur means 'the magician' - Wikipedia has a nice write up about the Tarot card named after this phrase.

Footnote.com Frustrations
Decided to do some quick genealogy research this morning, before heading outside to work in the garage. Checked out Footnote.com's Civil War Collection, and made a couple of quick finds on the pension index cards that I wanted to download, but no such luck.
Is it just me, or is their system overloaded due to the holiday weekend traffic? Probably the latter, but still it is frustrating. I guess I'm just too impatient! I want it now, you know?
Just sent out a tweet to see if the problem is just my computer. Misery loves company.

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....
