Had Other Things To Do Today

 This morning, Patrick was up before me. He came in to tell me it was 9 am. Of course, we had a time change to move forward. UGH I would have been better off going backwards in time. 

I made cinnamon rolls today. It turned out really good. A little on the sweet side for me though. 

I got a text from my sister-in-law asking if I found those photos of mom that she asked for. I had to go down to the boxes of photo's downstairs - nothing there. I saw some of the photos not too long ago and wondered why mom's pictures keep popping up. Of course, now I couldn't find them. So, I looked in the genealogy stuff, find photos I didn't realize I had and need to put them with the names on my program. Patrick was worried about me looking around that he went out in the garage and came back in to say he found a box with what I'm looking for. The top stuff was more recent, and she wanted more of mom when she was younger. I pulled out the photo albums that were in there. One was dads, one was mom's pictures of us kids. Then the next one was of her as a baby and up to about 12 years old. 

That's mom in the front. Not sure who all the other kids are but wondering if they were in school or something. Nothing was on the back. 

I believe this one is one of her modeling photos. She was going into modeling when she married my dad. Since he was in the military, she wasn't going to be a model. She was signed up for modeling school in both Seattle and LaGrande, OR area. I was surprised when I saw that in the paper. She told me about it when I asked. I also asked if Aunt Doreen was in modeling school, and she said no. Funny part is that Aunt Doreen put my cousin Susan in modeling school as well. Susan was in pageants as well. Interesting how that all came about. 

So, after 3 hours of searching and sending them off, I gave up. I was looking at my ornament pattern and will see if I have the beads, I need to do one. If it's as easy as it looks, then I will do fine. I will do the earrings first, I think. We'll see. I just need to finish Santa before I got off on another project. 

So, as it turned out, genealogy was my focus today, not being Happy Stitching/Happy Quilting!
