I'm working on my #NoKings poster, and I can't help but think of my colonial ancestors who bravely took a stand so that America should never have a king. #ancestry #genealogy

Adventures in Ancestry: A Revolutionary Tale
Only 15 miles separated Weymouth, MA, from Boston, but very often it felt as if the small village was a world away. Where Boston was a large and bustling seaport, the jewel of the Massachusetts col…

After the #NoKings protest in Ft. Lauderdale, my husband & I walked away from the crowd, down a major road, & came across a church craft fair. We browsed, along with our No Kings sign. For many of the vendors, English was not their first language… and they each gave us a thumbs up & a thank you.

I just purchased art supplies for my #NoKings poster. Does anyone know how I submit my receipt to #Antifa for reimbursement? Do I send it to anyone’s attention? 🤪

While in a Seattle hotel, I looked up at the #Glow of this blue light. When I saw the photo, I thought it looked like a blue planet, a calm alien world. #BlueSkyArtShow

In my latest blog post, I'm a time traveler, going back to the start of my Sicilian great-grandmother's life -- and it becomes a reflection on today's #immigrant. #ancestry #genealogy

After solving the mystery of how my great-grandparents, Giuseppe and Crocifissa, had met and married in Independence, LA, I was energized to learn more. I already had proof of Giuseppe’s arrival in…

Making its full debut in my garden is Rlc. Waianae Starburst “Volcano Queen.” It’s a hybrid in the Rhyncholaeliocattleya genus. That’s why they call it “Rlc.” I just call it gorgeous. #orchid

Hi… you had mentioned you were resurrecting your Instagram account. Did you do that… or did I just follow a fake you?

An orchid on the other side of the yard decided to flower, too!

This is a surprise. An #orchid is getting ready to flower. I’ve waited five years for this moment, because this orchid was part of an Amazon purchase during COVID lockdown.

While touring Lecce, Sicily, I spotted this young woman in a crowded piazza. She was nearly folded over in her artwork, concentrating on the details of the church she was painting. It was interesting how solitary she was in the crowd, able to #Relax in her own world. #BlueSkyArtShow

Adventures in Ancestry: The Mystery of Crocifissa, Parte Uno
Part of what I truly enjoy about genealogy is the detective work, finding clues and fitting the puzzle pieces together to create a more complete picture of my ancestors. Such was the case as I work…

When you go to a friend’s house to collect his mail, because he’s out of town, and you notice his #orchids are thriving on neglect.

I don’t subscribe to Disney, so that’s an easy quit, but I canceled Hulu & ABC. Hope you’re feeling better.
