Facebook world

Man, this Facebook world keeps getting smaller. People I know from completely different organizations know each other in another way... And finding people from a hundred years past (ok, what feels like it) and catching up like it's yesterday. Whoa.

So we had our first (very small) open house last weekend. All went well, and we had some great company. Rain and busy beginning-of-summer schedules kept a few people away, but the house is definitely in shape to entertain more frequently now! Not to mention that Darrin's 1st anniversary gift was a very cool-looking grill! (I think he'd love to become the next Alton or Bobby).

So on a little "forced" time off next week, I'll be heading to WV with Mom to look up some more old relatives and find out where they're residing now. (Read: running around courthouses and cemeteries in the hopes that the graves are properly marked.) Kvetch moment: really wish the relatives hadn't jumped the Ohio River so much... WV doesn't charge $16.50 for each record copy. OH does. Ick. However, this trip won't be nearly as bad as the $300+ at one courthouse while doing Darrin's genealogy work...

So to all, have a happy summer, and Darrin and I hope to see you soon!
