The Old Folks Home

[chickisoup]

Well, so far the great blizzard of 2018, at least for us, isn't. We've probably only gotten maybe 4-5 inches so far. We're still under the storm warning for another several hours so fingers crossed.
Got the house being warmed all afternoon by a nice roast with chunks of root veggies cooking away in the oven. Such a nice way to keep the chill from strong winds at bay. I've spent most of the day curled up with the puppy getting caught up on my hardcopy reading but now it's time to get out and check on the feather dusters and do a bit of shoveling before it's time to set the table for dinner.
Have a great evening everyone.

Hi Mrsmistyreal!
I like a good high quality milk chocolate but I am actually partial to a good quality rich dark chocolate.

Sometimes I press the wrong buttons, must be my age. White chocolate with raspberries that's a weakness

Dark chocolate is the best!

DH explained to me that they were teaching all this crapola because many HAM operators liked to work with the electronics and build their own systems.

So the only thing they removed from getting a Ham license is the Morse Code test??

It is actually German's Chocolate cake, created by an American with the last name of German.

Learn something every day! Thanks. We buy that brand for most all baking that uses chocolate.

My first Ottman Ancestor came to the US in 1761(not really the US then though)

Noobie My first easily traceable European ancestors arrived in what is now Boston around 1634. Though I THINK one that married into that side was on the Mayflower. Of course 3 of my grandparents were noobs compared to your cited ancestors, they all came from Spain in the early 1900's.

Things must have sucked big time in Spain at that time. My paternal grandfather was one of 5 boys, 2 went to Argentina, the other 3 to California. Standard migration for the time. One takes the trip, saves up enough money for the next to do it, then the next. My paternal grandmother followed her brother. I can't imagine being 15, hopping into steerage on a boat, crossing the Atlantic then taking a train across the country.

The McGuire Ancestors came much later too--1850s due to the Potato Famine
