My grandmother devoted a lot of time over the last few decades to extensive genealogical research. Now, I am the caretaker of a large box filled with letters and documents, names and dates scribbled on scrap paper, several filled and half-filled family tree charts, newspaper clippings, etc. etc. There is so much more than what the above photo depicts. The thought of going through it all and I mean really going through it all is equal parts daunting and exciting. I have only scratched the surface, but am thankful for such an opportunity.
Today I made some time to write out a few notes. I had forgotten how much I enjoy doing so, especially when pretty stationery and stamps are involved. A few more have yet to be written, but I will save them for another day. It is always nice to have a little activity such as letter writing to look forward to, is it not?
