Some pictures.
It was spring time in northern Michigan, one day all of the leaves seemingly burst out of their buds.

Yellow daffodils [not tulips!].
A visit to my brother's farm- as always I liked to look at the animals.

Piglets.
My grandmother taught school for one year, 1930-1931, before marrying my grandfather. In her contract it stated that the students had a week off to dig potatoes.

Schoolhouse.
The farm where my grandfather lived in the 1910s-1920s is up for sale. I went inside the ruined house and pulled a piece of wallpaper off for something to remember it by.

Mummy and Susan in front of the house.
I spent Monday morning visiting with my second cousin once removed and looking through family photos. Most, unfortunately, had no names on them. I was excited to see the faces of two of my direct ancestors, both of whom died a few months apart in 1883.

Great-great-great grandfather George.

Great-great-great grandmother Christiana.
Back in Arizona it is hot and this morning I am groggy and achey and really don't want to go to work. However, a week from today I'm off to NYC for a real vacation.
