52 Ancestors- the possibilities

I am participating in Amy Johnson Crow's 52 ancestors in 52 weeks. This week's topic was possibilities.

Find a Grave

Find a Grave

What is the likelihood that 2 Noah Liston's are both related to me and buried in the same cemetery, Mount Moriah Cemetery, Valley Point, Preston County, West Virginia. Secondly their deaths and births are a year apart. Ah, the possibilities. It gets better they both married women who go by Elizabeth even though Noah E's wife's name was Mary Elizabeth. I was researching Noah Z Liston, but I kept getting a lot of Noah E Liston's info mixed in on Ancestry So, I did a dry erase board to get things sorted out.  I did not realize at first that I was related to Noah E Liston.

Their common ancestor is John Jackson Liston Sr. He is my maternal 4th Great Grandfather.  Noah Z and Noah E's fathers are brothers. Both Noah's were farmers and live in the same county. Evidently are also buried in the same cemetery. 

I know the pain of having multiple people in your 6th grade class named Heather.  I was one of 6 Heather's

Anyone else follow Jackie and Shadow the eagles at Big Bear.  Well their eaglets, Sandy and Luna, spend the night alone in the nest.

Inappropriate Thoughts

Of course, I needed my own special 

alien stickers

I rewarded myself with a sticker bootcamp course for my Cricut. Does anyone else reward themselves when they do something hard? I have done many things with my Cricut but designing stickers is not one of them. It was time consuming, but I learned a lot. This was a Mim Jenkinson sticker bootcamp course.

so many ideas

Junk Journaling

It is a picture of a lid for a reusable container

I typed "Chaos Container"

 I don't know if what I do is junk journaling, scrapbooking, slam book or what.  I started a new junk journal because I ran out of pages in my other journal.

This was in my old Junk Journal

Inappropriate Thoughts

Meet My Little Friend

There has been a lizard hanging out in our yard.  The dogs have been enjoying chasing it. I pretty sure they would eat it if they caught it.

Deep Thoughts

It was pointed out to me thar my behavior was enabling someone else's behavior.  I really did not like having that pointed out to me.  I really wanted to deny that but upon sitting with that I decided to take some steps to change my behavior. If nothing changes, nothing changes.
