It was a fairly quiet weekend, for a change. I’m not feeling too well today so just a quick little update and a graphic that I painted and played with in Photoshop.

We’re still having hot, hot temps…yesterday selling popcorn, it was in the mid 90’s. YUCK! I did get a chance to meet a new homeschooling family that’s joined our troop…they were so nice! Not that I’m surprised as our homeschooling co-op and boy scout troop do seem to attract the nicest of people. *smile*

Still poring over the Cambria County Genealogy website when I can, trying to find any mention of our family names of McDonald, McMullen, Benden and Clevenger. The excerpts from the old newspapers are really interesting but sometimes heartbreaking as so many children died so young. Whilst perusing the recipe section I found a recipe for Chocolate Sauerkraut Cake…I think I’m just going to have to try it!

I’ll post some more nature journal and victorian printables tomorrow and I think I’ll also post the family tree template (one without my photos) that I created for Quinn as I know I can’t be the only one to need a family tree for a child.
