4 th Year of Blogging

It doesn’t seem like it but today marks the 4th year of this blog. It also gives me a reference point of when I began my families genealogy two months prior.   I haven’t  posted much lately, it seems I’ve been a bit lazy.
I do enjoy reading the blogs I follow on Google Reader, whether it’s an old photo, a family story or a tip on computing.  I say to myself that I need to get back into the swing of things and post a few photos or stories. Before we left for  Florida for the winter (really a good move as CT had over 6 ft of snow), I scanned a bunch of photo’s but haven’t done a darn thing with them. I also spent time cleaning out the attic of old papers. When both you and your spouse are the oldest of the siblings it seems you get to keep all of your parents paper work most of which needs to go. I kept a few old checks of how the money was spent back in the 50’s. It sure was not much compared to today. My best find was my mom’s naturalization papers which revealed some interesting facts. I had often wondered what happened to it because she was very proud to have become a US  citizen.
So any way here’s a picture I scanned last Dec.  Since Easter’s coming this looks like it’s from 1947 or1948. My mom and dad with me and my sister.
