Thank you so much for the kind words! We would be very happy to have you join our society!!! And I’m sure there are societies near you that would be very happy to have you! Our small county has 4 or 5 historical societies/groups. The Caldwell, Kansas group, with its cowtown history is a very active group, too.

Thank you, Judith! I appreciate your kind and thoughtful words, and appreciate you ‘stopping by’, too. I will try to work on that post for next week, telling how I got started taping the programs, and what I use (and what I’d like to use as well, as I need to update my equipment to digital).

You have a big task as the historian of your 50 Year Club! But it’s do-able. I’m learning how to use a program that is making things a lot of fun for me, but I’m still in the early learning curve on that! But next week I can start blogging about it.

This week, I’m getting ready for my mom’s 98th birthday celebration at her home! Exciting.

Congratulations, Sherry, on having the featured article on Jasia’s CoG! I enjoyed reading about the projects you are involved with in Sumner County. I particularly liked the fact that you have videotaped the meetings of the Historical and Genealogy Society and made DVDs. I look forward to reading your proposed post about getting started taping the programs, and building a DVD library. I think that could be very helpful to me in my work as Historian of the 50 Year Club of my high school alma mater. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise with the blogging world.

Thank you for stopping by! Many Kansas genealogy societies are quite active and are also busy transcribing cemeteries and creating databases to preserve and share info with family researchers!

Love hearing the activity surrounding Kansas genealogy. And yes, the Lord does provide.

Oh, my, that is high praise! And I feel blessed to receive it. I know what you mean. I Love the mountains, and often think I could live in them happily. But when I went off to college after high school, I went to Kansas State University, nestled in the picturesque Flint Hills, I kept looking at the hills, and feeling almost ‘claustrophobic’. I was used to living on the farm then, looking out our kitchen window, and being able to see for a looonnng ways. I got used to it, finally, and I do love the hills and mountains, but my roots are pretty deep here.

Thank you so much for stopping by. Blessings to you.

sherry,
You make me want to live in Kansas — right next to you. Now that’s saying a lot from one who frets when not in sight of my mountains.

You are truly good, inside and out. But that is no surprise to those of us who know you.

Congratulations! Jasia has always had a good eye.
