January 2011

Well our winter this year hasnt been all that bad. We havent had so much snow that we are complaining but we have had enough to cover the ground a few times. The good thing about Kansas is that the temperatures do climb enough to melt whatever white stuff is there.
Besides that my husband lost his pet parrot of almost 8 years in January and it was the most heart breaking thing ever. I suppose now we will go and buy another one. Pets are such dear things to us and it is amazing just how close we get to each of them. I did manage to get a Chihuahua puppy in November and he is a little fiest of a dog.
Ive been doing some geneology research this month. I have been working on family things for a few years now. I take a break from time to time but have just recently started it up again. I think this year I will take a trip to DesMoines where I can do some more hands on research. Finding out about your family members can really help you learn about the lives they lived.
