June 21st
It was a beautiful day to go down rabbit holes! Here are my happy things for today:
- The first rabbit hole I went down was looking online at genealogical information. Yesterday I posted pictures where I couldn't identify the people. At least two of the pictures (B.S. and 1955) turned out to be my grandmother's brother. That mystery is solved. The weird thing I seem to have learned while researching is that both my ex-husband and I have distant ancestors with the first name of Mehitable. I expect common first names like John, William, and Thomas. Mehitable was a surprise.
- My second rabbit hole was working on the puzzle. I was home alone so there was no other claim to the table. If my accountability friend from Texas hadn't called, I might have finished it. She reminded me that I could go through a box. She was right. I still worked quite a while on the puzzle.

- The box I chose had some things I could easily say that I don't want. It also contains things to shred. There are some keepers in the box too. I didn't finish going through it. When I realized most of it was to be shredded, I stopped. I'm leaving shredding for another day.

- In moving around things in yesterday's box, I found a letter that I hadn't looked at. I opened it and it turns out it is from 1879. I don't believe it is anyone related. I think it was left behind in a house we rented when I was a little. It is difficult for me to read the handwriting, but it is from a brother in Ohio to his sister in New Hampshire.
