Two Busy Days

Yesterday was a busy day from the get go. I was out the door - being late because Patrick didn't wake me up like I asked - and was at moms by 7:45 am. I dropped my car off for her since she needed while her car was being worked on. Art met me at moms and brought me back to his place for breakfast.

After breakfast we were on the road to Yelm WA to get to Red Wing Casino. We spent the morning at the casino. I spent $50, so that's not bad since I was there for 5 hours. We were supposed to leave right away after lunch but then Art had more Keno games to go. We ended up staying another hour and half. Of course Patrick wasn't too happy because I was a half hour late. I went to moms - gave her a kiss and headed back out the door. I really wanted to stay and chat with her but couldn't because I was already late.

Got home and we were on our way to Lucky Eagle Casino to get our free gifts. This time it was the stick mixers. We got two of them. Then we stayed for a little bit before going to Diary Queen for supper.

After supper it was bowling! We are in the 9 pin no-tap league. I bowled a 265, 233, and 210. A 708 series!! We lost 3 games. The team we bowled had 115 pins more in handicap. Ouch!

This morning I was enjoying the day to myself.

I got caught up on some games. Then I pulled out the computer and started working on my genealogy. I have a ton of papers I printed with all the family information and wanted to get it in the computer. I've gotten back a long way.

My 9th great grandfather - Henry True - 1590-1660
My 9th great grandmother - Isreal Pike - 1618-1669
My 10th great grandfather - Wymond Bradbury - 1574-1650
My 10th great grandmother - Elizabeth Whitgift - died 1612
My 10th great grandfather - John Perkins - 1586-1654
My 10th great grandmother - Judith Gater - d 1654

Those tow last ones are the parents of my 9th great grandmother Mary Perkins - who was one of the last 2 people accused of Witchcraft during the witch hunts. It's really interesting how many I'm finding that have been in the witch hunts. PLUS I'm find a LOT of them are from the Mayflower! I'm really enjoying this. I just wish I could go this far back with my Taylor family. Dad and I tried to get back farther but we couldn't figure it out. Now, I'm sorry we couldn't because I can't share that part with him. At least I can share this side with my mother, as these are her family as well.

I really haven't had a chance to work on anything because I really want to enter as much information as I can from what I have.

Tomorrow is another day, and I will try to get back to being Happy Stitching/Happy Quilting!
