Since then I have done a lot of things to the house and the yard trying to figure out a way to live there permanently. The town's main street is almost the same as it was in the mid-1800's and the Hotel Leger was featured on "Hotel Impossible". The people are mostly bay area refugees and very welcoming. They all love this little town and I am beginning to see why..jtonsethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05075952793111259879noreply@blogger.comBlogger364125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5149397275102397914.post-52141407537240573082022-07-06T09:03:00.004-07:002022-07-06T09:04:44.263-07:00Life Changes<p> </p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Hello</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">During the pandemic and quarantine period I was able to do a lot of thinking about my life and what I wanted to do with it in the future. I knew I was desperately unhappy with what I was doing and starting working on things that I was interested in more. Genetic Genealogy or the practice of using DNA and genealogy research to solve family mysteries. I went through 2 intense courses at Boston University and when I came out of those in May 2021, I quit my job and created my own business to help people in need of DNA and genealogy services. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">I have to be honest, I was terrified! And it took me at least 3 months to destress from my job and start focusing on my new business. I can now say that it is going well! </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">And I just finished my latest trip to Norway where I met more of my distant cousins for the first time. If you are interested in what I am doing, my information is below. I will not be posting on this blog any longer but will keep it up and running because there is good information on it! </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Thank you! </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQYcY8aamOqI-cKhjjoxsOtl8ZM3oJFXrJ946Bv_2RHdRwYeoXVGBTdhbAtmKC7v_mHXkdWPv2-bnttkzsNYziQfQjjFnxyM6HON5v-NsHKkPKyMZfs25q7h2R7MRSZbZGVWeALvwEi5yKRszaahlMf-pTViPzJbA1B-D0GppLfKK08s6NOyVBUTXX/s3264/PXL_20220626_073519452.PORTRAIT.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="2448" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQYcY8aamOqI-cKhjjoxsOtl8ZM3oJFXrJ946Bv_2RHdRwYeoXVGBTdhbAtmKC7v_mHXkdWPv2-bnttkzsNYziQfQjjFnxyM6HON5v-NsHKkPKyMZfs25q7h2R7MRSZbZGVWeALvwEi5yKRszaahlMf-pTViPzJbA1B-D0GppLfKK08s6NOyVBUTXX/s320/PXL_20220626_073519452.PORTRAIT.jpg" width="240" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: arial;">Me at Var Frue church in Trondheim, my families church for 100's of years.</span><p></p><p><br /></p><div>Asfaund Genealogy Services</div><div>Cell: +1(925)588-1566</div><div><a href="http://www.asfaund.com/" target="_blank">www.asfaund.com</a></div><div>Follow us on Facebook and Instagram</div><div><a href="https://www.facebook.com/Asfaund" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/Asfaund</a><br /></div><div><a href="https://www.instagram.com/asfaund_genealogy/" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/asfaund_genealogy/</a><br /></div><div><br style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;" /></div>jtonsethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05075952793111259879noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5149397275102397914.post-7773001898399503202021-04-12T12:43:00.004-07:002021-04-12T12:43:40.944-07:00It's been awhile... <p><span style="font-family: arial;">Hello All</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">I haven't posted in a long time and I am sorry for that.. about the time of my last post I started a genealogy research course, and that with work and well Covid.. has made me less than productive here.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Being alone so much did affect my mental well-being and I spent the last 6 months working through that.

This is also the best time of year to get great deals on delicious fruit and veggies from supermarkets, farmers markets and neighbors. I love to can because it doesn't require any kind of electricity to maintain it. In fact earlier in the summer, I was on a strawberry jam canning spree because I found strawberries at such a good price.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hbK7qPBwyJY/Xzq4NJGikEI/AAAAAAAAsEw/1Bs9122t0Dk9KdMoUw35M6H1cevcO5AewCPcBGAsYHg/s4032/IMG_20200516_152729.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="512" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hbK7qPBwyJY/Xzq4NJGikEI/AAAAAAAAsEw/1Bs9122t0Dk9KdMoUw35M6H1cevcO5AewCPcBGAsYHg/w384-h512/IMG_20200516_152729.jpg" width="384" /></a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uQ_4B1AO-tQ/Xzq4NF8tXwI/AAAAAAAAsEw/-B0jb3mr0-80IDUC7406fyQyldLa63quwCPcBGAsYHg/s4032/00000PORTRAIT_00000_BURST20200517152339651.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="512" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-uQ_4B1AO-tQ/Xzq4NF8tXwI/AAAAAAAAsEw/-B0jb3mr0-80IDUC7406fyQyldLa63quwCPcBGAsYHg/w384-h512/00000PORTRAIT_00000_BURST20200517152339651.jpg" width="384" /></a></span></div><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">But right now my neighbor has peaches and sold me a bunch of them for not a lot of money. I can't eat them all. I wanted to can them but it was 106 degrees, and the idea of a pressure canner and all that heat and humidity was a no-go for me. FoodSaver to the rescue! (BTW - no one pays me to mention their products, if I love it and I use it, you will know.)</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">First, I decided to freeze them in a simple syrup instead of raw. With a syrup on them, they will be ready to go to use over yogurt, ice cream and anything else you can think of including pie or cobbler. Plus, these were not completely ripe yet and they will absorb the sweetness of the syrup as they sit.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><u>To make the syrup</u>; </span></p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: arial;">1/2 cup honey (I have so much honey! if you don't you can use all sugar)</span></li><li><span style="font-family: arial;">1/2 cup white sugar</span></li><li><span style="font-family: arial;">1 cup water</span></li><li><span style="font-family: arial;">Cinnamon Stick</span></li><li><span style="font-family: arial;">a pinch of salt</span></li></ul><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Put everything in a saucier if you have it, over <b>low heat</b>.

Done.</span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">While that was going on I was prepping the peaches.

First - toss them with enough lemon juice to just coat them to stop them from changing color.

I went off and ate dinner and came back an hour later. The peaches will slightly cook from the heat of the syrup, and will have time to absorb some of that goodness before going in the freezer. If you rush this and they don't cool.. you will miss getting the peaches to absorb some of the flavor, so don't rush this!</span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Then I made bags that would hold about 1 cup each and used the gentle/moist setting on the FoodSaver. This is not automated like the normal setting, and when it gets to where you think it is done, hit the "seal" button. Label and Freeze!</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rQWjbGMSF5o/Xzq7n1f5ulI/AAAAAAAAsFk/YoLmnKA8-uUmbI5sLelH4yxMWsfcTvDAACPcBGAsYHg/s4032/IMG_20200816_182429.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rQWjbGMSF5o/Xzq7n1f5ulI/AAAAAAAAsFk/YoLmnKA8-uUmbI5sLelH4yxMWsfcTvDAACPcBGAsYHg/s640/IMG_20200816_182429.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><span style="font-family: arial;">Perfect!</span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">What can you do with them? I made peach and blackberry cobbler when I stumbled across a blackberry patch a bit ago. And peach shortcake instead of strawberry? Peach ice cream?</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">So many things... </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">My FoodSaver used to be in my pantry but now it just stays on the counter. I use it all the time and being single, it helps me not waste food. I appreciate that and I am sure you do as well.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Stay cool and peachy!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Julie</span></p>jtonsethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05075952793111259879noreply@blogger.com0Mokelumne Hill, CA 95245, USA38.3004709 -120.70632199.9902370638211551 -155.8625719 66.610704736178846 -85.5500719tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5149397275102397914.post-75659520485463489952020-06-20T14:57:00.001-07:002020-06-20T14:57:14.425-07:00Quarantine Projects June 20, 2020<font face="arial">Hello!</font><div><font face="arial">Like everyone else in the world, I have been unable to travel or do normal things since early March.

But they ended up being a huge influence on their families and contributions to my personality are obvious sometimes. These cats are the same story, completely different personalities! #emmathechocolatecoloredcat #rosietherivetingcat #calaverashumanesociety</font></div><div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Vtqpr_1jRVs/Xu6Cl0JCkYI/AAAAAAAAp28/u4Bj4XBbdlYd_xbDLGQ1z_IqtQ0mNaLDQCK4BGAsYHg/s2884/00100lrPORTRAIT_00100_BURST20200617093717310_COVER.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2884" data-original-width="2875" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Vtqpr_1jRVs/Xu6Cl0JCkYI/AAAAAAAAp28/u4Bj4XBbdlYd_xbDLGQ1z_IqtQ0mNaLDQCK4BGAsYHg/s320/00100lrPORTRAIT_00100_BURST20200617093717310_COVER.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Emma<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-U7GRa0bxTj8/Xu6CmCU6N9I/AAAAAAAAp3A/l0m9pJoJJhQwWRixIuQsn9jt9L797qrFACK4BGAsYHg/s4032/00000PORTRAIT_00000_BURST20200606164452684.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-U7GRa0bxTj8/Xu6CmCU6N9I/AAAAAAAAp3A/l0m9pJoJJhQwWRixIuQsn9jt9L797qrFACK4BGAsYHg/s320/00000PORTRAIT_00000_BURST20200606164452684.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Rosie<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-evscEs0aSTE/Xu6CmlqorqI/AAAAAAAAp3E/-XUn2G8bRAAVUEsyh8ApzKc7D6Z-iGJ3ACK4BGAsYHg/s2653/IMG_20200605_114527.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2653" data-original-width="2011" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-evscEs0aSTE/Xu6CmlqorqI/AAAAAAAAp3E/-XUn2G8bRAAVUEsyh8ApzKc7D6Z-iGJ3ACK4BGAsYHg/s320/IMG_20200605_114527.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Rosie is very rarely a lap cat</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2ciy5gqoDbE/Xu6CnNvvcbI/AAAAAAAAp3I/a7gKqLs5Zoc4WBQVPyRollaXFby2UGUcwCK4BGAsYHg/s4032/00100lrPORTRAIT_00100_BURST20200605070552294_COVER.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-2ciy5gqoDbE/Xu6CnNvvcbI/AAAAAAAAp3I/a7gKqLs5Zoc4WBQVPyRollaXFby2UGUcwCK4BGAsYHg/s320/00100lrPORTRAIT_00100_BURST20200605070552294_COVER.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Emma wants to be by my side all the time</td></tr></tbody></table><font face="arial">I am so happy that I decided to adopt them, can't imagine being here all by myself everyday!</font></div><div><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bD5z-U98Pjo/Xu6EKYXKLpI/AAAAAAAAp3Y/JqgQWUmU4GYEdPV4Xnmx8RWv5xZuisEoQCK4BGAsYHg/s4032/IMG_20200426_154359.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; font-family: arial; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="256" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bD5z-U98Pjo/Xu6EKYXKLpI/AAAAAAAAp3Y/JqgQWUmU4GYEdPV4Xnmx8RWv5xZuisEoQCK4BGAsYHg/w192-h256/IMG_20200426_154359.jpg" width="192" /></a><font face="arial">The other thing that has been taking up my time is my greenhouse and garden.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hello!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am excited to say that I have finally gotten the back wooden deck replaced! Over the years, I have patched and painted it many times and I think only the paint was holding it up. My contractor came out and we stood on it shaking the railing and one corner of the deck roof was sloping. The deck bounced a bit in one corner section which indicated it was failing. It is a large deck, about 600 square feet of area and it is elevated off the ground about 1 story, to line up with my dining room. It is not an easy project and not something I could do myself even if I had my dad helping!</span><br />

My cat Rosie looking out the window at the old deck railing.</div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I use it a lot and when visitors come, half of them are out there most of the time. I was excited to see it go though, because it was starting to worry me. When you have a deck that is up that high, it needs to be sturdy. A normal deck that is ground level or just raised up a bit, if you put your foot through it, no one will get hurt. My deck is about 19 feet off the ground at the front of the house. Having a board fail could be extremely dangerous. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Demolition day came and the guys started tearing out the roof, when thousands of acorns started coming down! The woodpeckers drilled holes into the wood and then stashed the acorns there. It was funny because the ground later is just covered with acorns.</span><br />

Way back on the family tree of my father, in the city of
Trondheim on the west coast of Norway, my 5 times great-grandfather, Johannes
Buzzi (‘Boo Zee’) married Lorine Antonine Roe in 1801. This was Lorine’s 2<sup>nd</sup>
marriage, due to her first husband dying, and Johannes first marriage.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PFuDw4nbqH8/XhC4gvSxYRI/AAAAAAAAeZA/Y5m4kUW-thgixQ8GMJpL72k6Sj3Hqk-eQCLcBGAsYHQ/s1600/roe%2Band%2BBuzzi%2Bwedding.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="643" data-original-width="1050" height="388" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PFuDw4nbqH8/XhC4gvSxYRI/AAAAAAAAeZA/Y5m4kUW-thgixQ8GMJpL72k6Sj3Hqk-eQCLcBGAsYHQ/s640/roe%2Band%2BBuzzi%2Bwedding.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The last
name of Buzzi is not common in Norway, but when I originally started looking at
my Norwegian genealogy, I was focused on the Tonseth line and just skipped over
him. The Tonseth family has so much history in Norway, and Trondheim in particular,
that I had plenty of interesting stories on which to focus. But one day, on my
Ancestry.com family tree, another person posted a picture of a painting of him
and his name was not Johannes. His real name was Giovanni and he was born in a
small town in northern Italy, on the border with Switzerland, called Viggiu,
about an hour north of Milan, on the banks of Lake Lugano.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
This was a bit of a shock since if you look at me, there
isn’t anything that would suggest Italy in my heritage. I am so pale that the
sun will burn me in 20 minutes if I am not covered in sunscreen and protective
clothing. But I have science on my side so went to check my DNA results, and
there it was, a very small percentage of southern European genetics.<o:p></o:p></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It finally hit me, I really
am descended from a man who left Italy and somehow ended up in Trondheim,
Norway. My Norwegian cousin who we first met in 2014, didn’t believe it when we
told him. His statement was “there are no Italians in the Tonseths” or
something to that effect. (He is also in his 80’s and follows the Tonseth
tradition of being stubborn.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The distant relative who posted the picture of Johannes and
started this quest, is living in Norway so I contacted her about this
intriguing story. She is descended from Johannes and his 2<sup>nd</sup> wife
Clara Evensen, while I am from Johannes and his 1<sup>st</sup> wife Lorine Roe.
Her family had this picture of him and was able to give me a lot of information
on him and how he ended up in Norway. This is what she told me. “ They had
travelled to Viggiu and met up with a local man there, who gave them some of
the history of the area and the family. Viggiu is a small town that was a
mining town for limestone, that was used in a lot of the buildings and statues.
The family was in mining and was doing pretty well for themselves. There is a
very old church there and they had a section dedicated to a saint they paid
for, and they were buried underneath that section. They had a very good life
but then Napoleon Bonaparte was coming through the Alps from France and heading
for a fight with the Austrians who were in Italy. The relative said that the
family gave him some of their family treasures, and put him on a boat heading
to some family in Bergen, Netherlands. But something happened during the trip,
bad weather or bad navigation, and he landed in Trondheim. There is also a
manuscript about Trondheim and the people of historical significance that
mentions him.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I found the book on the history of Trondheim and its people,
and Johannes has a letter to the State Church of Norway, asking to convert to Protestantism
from Catholicism. He describes leaving the country ahead of the “French Giants”
that would have conscripted him to fight at Mantua.<a href="https://www.tfb.no/db/personalhistorie/3_7_20070228_134916.pdf">https://www.tfb.no/db/personalhistorie/3_7_20070228_134916.pdf</a><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
When you look at the history of the area, you can’t see the thing that would push a young man out of his country, and make a foreign land
look better than his beautiful hometown. Unless you knew that Napoleon
Bonaparte was coming after the Austrian army. If you look up the Battle of
Marengo, you will see that Napoleon is pursuing them through the Alps and reached
Milan in June of 1800. To get to Milan that way, you will have to go through
the Lombardy region and the idea of being forced to join the French army, was
probably not appealing to Giovanni and I am sure other able-bodied men in the
region felt the same way. But he was able to leave and he never went back.
Although the book he is in does say that when he was very old, he actually set
out on a ship to try and go back to Italy, but lost his nerve somewhere around
Denmark and turned around. He eventually died in Trondheim and is buried in the
courtyard of our family church, Var Frue. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I needed to know more, and I decided to go to Italy to see
this little town and the country. To find out anything I can about him and his
life, and see for myself, where my Italian roots started. My first genealogy
trip was that one to Trondheim in 2014 with my parents and my son. Since then, I
have gone to a couple more places, Pennsylvania, Stockholm, New Orleans and Alabama
looking at the places my ancestors lived and soaking up the atmosphere. I
usually find things in person that can not be found on line, and this proved
true for this trip, big time. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I set up the trip and this time my son and daughter-in-law
are coming along, as well as meeting a good friend of mine who is always up for
an adventure. We left California in mid-july and were excited to be going to
France and Italy. We landed in Paris during a heat wave, which reached
temperatures of over 100 degrees several days in a row. Paris is a city known
for its food, wine, history, monuments and people who aren’t always happy to
see you. Let me tell you that heat makes the people of Paris even grumpier than
usual because few places have air conditioning. Because it was so hot, people
were out in the streets at the cafes until the very early morning, like 4 AM.
For people who are jet-lagged, it was miserable. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
But on to Italy! We took the train from Paris to Milan,
because Milan is the closest large city to Viggiu and I really wanted to see
it. My friend Anthony, was going to go to Viggiu with me so we rented a car and
I drove out towards the Swiss border where all the famous lakes are, like Lake
Como and Lake Lugano. We actually crossed the border into Switzerland briefly,
and then it went back into Italy. (see map) It is not easy getting to Viggiu! I
got lost at least once, maybe two times.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: justify;">
When we got there, it was like
travelling back in time to a pre-world war 2 era. It was so quaint and quiet
and since it was still hot, not a lot of people out and about. We tried to
start at the museum but it wasn’t open yet, so we went towards the main part of
town. There was a church that had been there since the 1400’s.<span style="mso-no-proof: yes;"><!--[if gte vml 1]><v:shape id="Picture_x0020_5"

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: justify;">
And we saw the family name of Buzzi
everywhere, but with different 2<sup>nd</sup> last names. (I will explain more…)
This is what the street looked like, and no one spoke English. Anthony and I walked all over the
town, ate pizza at the local restaurant and gelato as well. Everyone was very
friendly but looked amused and confused by us, as we obviously didn’t fit in
and I don’t think they get many tourists. We had gotten to the end of a dead end road at one point and an older Italian lady and her 2 german shepherds came out to meet us. She didn't speak English and we didn't know Italian. It was pretty amusing but she told us to go back and turn left and we found the entrance. I think she must have picked up the phone and called all the neighbors to let them know about us.</div>

<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and met up with a nice man who spoke English
and was able to hand church books to look at and take pictures of them. They
were hand-scribed by a gentleman who came every summer to Viggiu and spent it
transcribing the church’s books into these copies. I was able to go back a few
generations and confirm birth/marriage/death dates from these. He explained the
last name of Buzzi, and why we saw it everywhere but with a tacked on second
last name. There are a lot of people who descended originally from the Buzzi
family, but as they kept growing and multiplying, they adopted a second last name
to identify their branch of the Buzzi tree. My ancestor is Buzzi Biela, but there
are a lot of variations. I was able to show him the Trondheim book and explain
what it says, and he was fascinated that all of this was online. <o:p></o:p></div>

I spent several hours in the library
and the museum which was breath-taking. This museum houses the second largest
set of plaster casts in the world and there is no one there visiting it.
Anthony and I were let into the place by ourselves to walk around and see the
artwork there. It was stunning and odd. With all the art in Italy, why isn’t
this more popular? This little town is where the limestone for all those grand
statues was quarried. This museum has the plaster casts for so many great
bronze statues, and you can literally spend all day there by yourself! There is
this one room with plaster scenes on every wall that form a story. <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;"><!--[if gte vml 1]><v:shape id="Picture_x0020_7"

I want to go back and hopefully find someone who can speak English. The place was captured in time and had such a wonderful feeling about it.

<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Over the 10 years that I have lived here, watering the plants and trees has taken a lot of my time, and money. The only real sprinkler system I have is in the front yard, and it waters wildflowers, clover and the occasional volunteer vegetable plant. (Thanksgiving decoration gourds this year!) Everything else is watered usually via drip system, soaking hose or by hand. But the drip lines and the hoses don't last longer than about 2 years around here. They either deteriorate from the harsh weather or a smart rat has figured out they store water and chews them up. Either way, it has been thousands of dollars that I have spent on trying to get water to these plants and trees. With my moving here permanently, I want to really do a lot of gardening and raise as much food as I can. In the main veggie garden, I have an odd shaped bed that I put together that hasn't had anything in it for a long time.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">One reason is because it is big, and two it is hard to water. I have decided to put fruit trees there, probably apple and pear, but don't want to put more drip lines down. I have used PVC in many projects, like the first greenhouse my son made for my mother's day present, so lots of spare pipe and connectors hanging around in the garage. (When I went and sorted and organized all the PVC I ended up with 2 storage containers full. My dad had snuck some into my garage during their move!)I decided for that area, I was going to make a sprinkler system from PVC pipe, that I can connect to the hose bib with a short garden hose and water on a timer. How hard can it be? (Famous last words, but it was actually pretty easy.)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">If you have worked with PVC before it like a grownup connector set, but you use a glue to hold the parts together. There are bunch of different kinds, some with primers for those pipes that have to hold up under pressure, but I just use a medium cement for most of my tasks. Once it is glued, it will not come apart, ever...</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Before you do anything with the cement though, you need to do things. First, layout your pipe lengths and figure out what you need in terms of connectors, and sprinklers. I went for 6 sprinklers, using "T" connectors and 6 inch scrap pieces that I had from another project. (Not sure what that was that I needed 30 pieces of PVC each 6 inches long?) Once you know how many, and what kind of connectors you need, take the PVC pipe with you to get the male adapters and the sprinkler heads. If you don't take it with you, I guarantee it will be wrong! Also ask someone at the store for help, I did that after staring at the wall of PVC fittings for 30 minutes. Thirty minutes of my life that I will never get back again, because I keep saying, it can't be this hard!</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Dry fit all the parts first, and do not skip this step. Take your pieces and put them together without glue to make sure they actually do fit. <i><b>DON'T SKIP THIS STEP!</b> </i>When you are sure everything is going to work, pull all the pieces out, a rag and the glue. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">You need to wipe off any loose dirt from the pipe ends and inside the connector using the rag. It doesn't need to be super clean or washed, just wipe it off. This cement works really fast, so you have to be organized, thought about the process you are going to follow and have all the parts in order. The brush is connected to the lid so pull it up and scrape it off a bit so it isn't dripping everywhere. Put the glue inside the upward section of the T connector, and outside one of the pieces of pipe. Push them together and give it a quarter turn or so, just to get the glue everywhere inside and get a good seal. <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I finished the rest of the connectors, and went on to the top part of the sprinkler, the male adapter. This will be glued onto the top and the sprinkler head will screw into that. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Same as before, inside swipe, outside swipe, push together and give it a little turn. You don't have to wait for these to dry to keep on moving with the steps. It is a solid hold in about 2 minutes, but you need to let it cure before running water through it for at least an hour. I waited overnight because I wasn't in a rush. Next, using your Teflon tape to wrap around the connector top and screw on the sprinkler heads.</span><br />

Once you got everything where you want it, you can start gluing the long pipe pieces to the connectors for the sprinklers. Makes sure you have your sprinklers are facing the same way up! If you aren't careful you will have 1 sprinkler facing out 90 degrees and once again, game over. There are no second chances with this glue! You would literally have to cut the pipe apart and start over. So move slow and make sure everything is in the right spot and facing the right direction. </div>

The process took awhile to understand the design and get the parts, but it really took maybe an hour to put everything together once I got rolling. I did it myself and because this only about 2 - 10 foot long sections connected in the middle to make a big U, I didn't need another person. If you were doing a much longer run, or more complicated design, another set of hands would be awesome. </div>

<div>
This system, once I bury it of course, should last at least 10 years, potentially longer than that and the cost was under $50 because I had all the scrap pieces. It will save me in work efforts every year repairing drip hoses, and money from replacing ruined hoses. </div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hello</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This has been a big few months for me with my company being bought out, not sure what my job is, and now being offered a role that allows me to work remotely. It is a bit surreal because it is Sunday morning and I am going through my normal routines of cleaning up and realize, I don't have to drive anywhere today. This is my home. I am home. I woke up Friday morning and took a picture of the sunrise of my first day with this as my address.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have lived in the San Francisco bay area since 1991, and I bought this house 10 years ago with the intention of it being a retirement property. This bit of time will allow me to see if I can truly live on my own out here. I will be working and still traveling a lot, but this is my home base. How lucky am I to get this chance? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now I have to start getting involved in groups and making new connections. Probably the animal shelter to start with .. and a gym. I am so out of shape! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here starts the next chapter in my life, and now I have to get working on the irrigation project I planned. </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have been at this since the beginning of 2019, so 9 months of trial and error. But I think I have finally found a winning recipe and process. This is called recipe #7 but it is probably more likely to be the tenth version of the same recipe.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The original recipe came from a magazine called " Centennial Kitchen Cooking with Cast Iron.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_Jed4mIRxcU/XWw74KZALoI/AAAAAAAAXAk/ZxEciM9r1FgCEZL1fStbbSjAEmufYhVCQCKgBGAs/s1600/IMG_20190901_144016.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1241" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_Jed4mIRxcU/XWw74KZALoI/AAAAAAAAXAk/ZxEciM9r1FgCEZL1fStbbSjAEmufYhVCQCKgBGAs/s320/IMG_20190901_144016.jpg" width="248" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-k__vAlizzjo/XWw74MNjQ8I/AAAAAAAAXAk/zASMDAo_wkQ8GvMzHXxEo963azvfbd7MACKgBGAs/s1600/IMG_20190901_144038.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-k__vAlizzjo/XWw74MNjQ8I/AAAAAAAAXAk/zASMDAo_wkQ8GvMzHXxEo963azvfbd7MACKgBGAs/s320/IMG_20190901_144038.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This picture says it all!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have inherited some old cast iron pans that were my grandfathers and when I saw this magazine and the biscuits, I decided to give it a try. Only issue is that I have been eating pretty much gluten free for years so my first attempt using gluten free flour was bad. I tried one more time a few weeks ago with the gluten free flour and once again, it was bad. This weekend, I gave up on the gluten free flour and used standard All-Purpose flour. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<u>#7 - Buttermilk Biscuits </u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Dry ingredients</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 3/4 cup all purpose flour </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
(You may need a bit more than that after mixing in the wet stuff, and more for the patting out but start with this much. Easier to add more than take away.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1/2 tsp baking soda</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 tbsp baking powder</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1/4 tsp salt</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1/4 tsp cream of tartar</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Wet Ingredients - all of these should be cold, nearly frozen</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3/4 cup buttermilk </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1/4 cup Crisco</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2 tbs butter</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Instructions - Measure all the dry ingredients into a large bowl, and blend them together with a fork. Next add the wet ingredients to the bowl, and using 1 or 2 forks, start mixing. You will be trying to get all the fat chunks broken up and covered in flour. Don't use your hands, the secret here is to keep it chilly. After a few minutes the dough should be coming together, if you see that all the moisture has been sucked up but you still have lose flour, put a splash or two more of buttermilk in. You want to get the dough together, and smooth not sticky or glue. Once it comes together, stop mixing and stick in the refrigerator while you preheat the oven.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Set the oven at 425 and get your 10 or 12 inch pan out, along with a biscuit cutter. I started using a smaller biscuit cutter but ended up using something a bit larger. You might need to experiment to see what fits in your pan, and doesn't leave you a lot of excess dough. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Take the dough out and on a floured board or smooth counter top, gently knead it and pat it out into a circle. I did this one time, and then folded it back onto itself and gently patted it out again. You use your fingers for this, as a rolling pin would crush it and you want to get as many air pockets in the dough that you can. You want to see the bits of butter and crisco as well, they will melt in the oven and help keep it moist.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Cooking</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Put some butter in your pan and stick it in the oven for 10 mins or so, just to heat it up. When hot, carefully remove it and wipe out the burnt, excess butter. Cut your biscuits out and place in the pan. You want them to be touching the sides or each other, at least a little bit, to help them rise. Getting the size right with the cutter will help with this. I only made 5 large biscuits and it used up all the dough.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mgLfSyZmAvw/XWw_W-mGZfI/AAAAAAAAXA4/yaQQ3iToq94VY_J2E6YXqz1L38_dEWcgQCKgBGAs/s1600/IMG_20190831_074049.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1205" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mgLfSyZmAvw/XWw_W-mGZfI/AAAAAAAAXA4/yaQQ3iToq94VY_J2E6YXqz1L38_dEWcgQCKgBGAs/s320/IMG_20190831_074049.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Cook them for 12 mins and then check to see if they are brown. These took about 14 mins but depending on your oven and where you place the pan it could be a little longer. Don't overcook them! If you take them out just before they are done, and leave them in the pan, the heat will continue to cook them. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Let them cook for a minute or two... and then eat with honey or gravy!</div>

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">3rd try.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">2/23/19</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I made biscuits again, this time using Crisco instead of only butter. I got it closer to what I wanted it to be. The texture was a lot softer and the flavor was better, but still not the rise that I was hoping to get it. At least this time I put sausage gravy on them, so they have made it past the "bird food" only conditions. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">2/17/19 Update on the buttermilk biscuit trials..</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Made the biscuits exactly as the recipe called for, using regular flour this time and not gluten free. They did rise up more than the others, and they did look like biscuits but they were still too flat and dry for me. So the birds got more bread for them to eat. Good thing with it being this cold they need it. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Hello!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I like to post recipes and pictures of things that I cook that turn out great, just to let people know that I do more than technology and gardening. And some people want my recipes so posting them here makes it easy to share them. Well, I have a huge recipe failure to share this time, because fair is fair. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I bought a magazine that was only about cast iron cooking, because I have a couple of my grandfather's cast iron pans and I love using them everyday. But I wanted to try something really traditional and make biscuits and gravy. Sausage gravy is something I can make on my own and this magazine had an easy enough recipe to make southern buttermilk biscuits in a cast iron pan. Sweet! But I eat gluten free, so I decided to make it with Bobs Red Mill gluten free flour.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Let's get started with all the ingredients accumulated and out on the counter. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qVxMIJGKZ3o/XDu1sNtWfqI/AAAAAAAASEc/yNZqt-jW0LMhCAVIZnHEsM_srjAYcnnBACKgBGAs/s1600/20190112_082956.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qVxMIJGKZ3o/XDu1sNtWfqI/AAAAAAAASEc/yNZqt-jW0LMhCAVIZnHEsM_srjAYcnnBACKgBGAs/s320/20190112_082956.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></div>
<br />

Bringing them together with a fork to make a dough in the large bowl.</span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PFL4p_QupSQ/XDu3K_KBt-I/AAAAAAAASE8/m9RpFLOXRNcrYulYSrV-VMTAG_o2AhOCwCKgBGAs/s1600/20190112_084041.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PFL4p_QupSQ/XDu3K_KBt-I/AAAAAAAASE8/m9RpFLOXRNcrYulYSrV-VMTAG_o2AhOCwCKgBGAs/s320/20190112_084041.jpg" width="240" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This is when I started to question my decision to use the gluten free flour. The dough seemed to deflate.. it became as light as air. I keep going and pat out the dough to cut it into biscuits.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3kDnmjctR94/XDu3zshUvsI/AAAAAAAASFE/NJKgwqoz6UMl_oRL-Lc33f60BWcOp8cvACKgBGAs/s1600/20190112_084344.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3kDnmjctR94/XDu3zshUvsI/AAAAAAAASFE/NJKgwqoz6UMl_oRL-Lc33f60BWcOp8cvACKgBGAs/s320/20190112_084344.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">You don't use a rolling pin with this kind of dough, you use your fingers and pat it out to the right depth. I am starting to panic because this is so delicate. Using a biscuit cutter, I cut out the biscuits and try to put them in the pan. These just fall apart! It is like trying to move water on the spatula. I get them in the pan... </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">And they are ugly! I am starting to panic but I am committed to finishing. In the oven they go, maybe they will rise up in the oven?</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">After baking they exit the oven a bit bigger but not much more than when they started. Here is the finished product next to the picture from the magazine. They are so flat! The "crumb" is something like a cake, not a biscuit. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Hello</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I hosted Thanksgiving this year at my house and invited all of my family and any friends that didn't have a place to go. I love Thanksgiving! It is my favorite holiday because it is about food, family, friends and fun. No pressure like finding the perfect gift for that teenage nephew of yours :) (Hint, they only want money!)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I am thankful for having a family that while small in number, is large in personality and enjoys being together. I am extremely thankful that is has finally started raining, and raining hard! I do need to go up on my roof and clean out a gutter unfortunately, but I will wait until it dries out.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">For Thanksgiving, I bought the largest turkey they had in the store because I wanted to make sure we had leftovers. At 26 pounds (about 12 kg) it was the largest turkey that I had ever cooked and I was worried about it getting done enough but not dried out. I usually do a wet brine, but this monster was too big for that. (See picture) So I used a dry brine based on an Ina Garten recipe. It worked out well and along with my convection oven and dry rub from a small spice shop in Murphys, it was one of the best tasting turkeys I have made. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Some people stayed around and talked until about 10 p.m., when I got up and went to bed. I had been woken up around 3:30 a.m. that morning by lightning and thunder. It went on for about 45 minutes but then I couldn't get to sleep again. I am NOT complaining! We are so desperate for rain that I will take all of that for a good downpour. After the first good rain - the moss and algae that was dormant on the trees will suddenly "wake up" and turn the most amazing shades of green. It is really beautiful</span>!<br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Hello</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This year (2018), I have taken 2 trips related to genealogy and 1 added weekend to a business trip as well. This latest trip was with my mom and dad, and piggy-backed on a conference they were attending in Naples, Florida. The ultimate goal was to go to Dauphin Island, Alabama, where my french Guillory relatives landed when they left Canada. We found a map that showed Isla de Guillory on land there and decided to go see the island. The itinerary would look like this - I flew into Tampa on monday night, we all drive to Tallahassee on Tues, on to Dauphin Island on Weds, and then finally to New Orleans on Thursday, fly home on Friday. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We took off driving to Tallahassee and ate lunch along the way in a tiny little town named Chiefland, Florida. There was a BBQ restaurant there named BBQ Bill's so we stopped to eat there. It was everything you would expect from a florida panhandle BBQ restaurant... very homey feel and everyone was polite. (So many ma'ams on this trip, it started to cause me to say it!) I basically ordered a large slab of meat.. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Before we made it to Dauphin Island, we stopped in to see another of my dad's friends in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida. This area of the gulf coast got hit by Hurricane Michael and we saw the downed and snapped trees for miles and then it suddenly stopped. The path of devastation was so distinct that you can see where the line was... and once again.. the rain and rain and rain!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Then on to the island! It took about 5 hours to make this drive all together and we made it to our motel just about sunset. It is the only motel on the island, everything else is home or condo rentals. The same family has owned it for 30 years and, well, it shows the age.. It is something that you would see in a movie where the place hasn't been touched since the 80's or 90's. But it was clean and cheap and the views are spectacular.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Day 3 - On the island and then on to New Orleans</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We spent Thursday exploring the island, and visiting the local history center. What a fantastic place! Why didn't anyone tell me there were places like this with these beautiful beaches that were closer than Hawaii? And way cheaper.... We had dinner on Weds night and they were selling beer for $2 and wine for $4. The whole dinner for us was about $50 which is what I can expect to spend on dinner for myself here in San Francisco. Here are some pictures from the island.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">My family settled here in the early 1700's, thinking they could grow vegetables and make a living. The island though, is mainly sand and with every storm it moves around. They didn't stay too long, but long enough for my 6th great- grandfather, Joseph Gregoire Guillory to be born on the island in 1716. There are a couple of people buried there, including Joseph's first wife, Marie-Jean Lacase and his young daughter Marie-Louise Guillory. We went to the oldest catholic cemetery on the island to see if we could find their graves, but we couldn't. If you think about the conditions there, with the heat, humidity and rain, a wooden grave marker would be gone by now almost 300 years later. We loved the island and the people there, who were just so nice. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Although we didn't find anything of genealogical interest there, we did decide that we would like to go back for a vacation. Only downside is that the mosquitoes were huge and for some reason, they loved me! This side of the family left the island and moved to Mobile, Alabama where they had a plantation. Joseph Guillory was not a nice man, and yes, he owned slaves. He actually had four children with one of his slaves named Marguerite. A descendant of hers, filed a court casein Lousiana, because she while she 97% Caucasian in her DNA, she was still being required to identify as African American. <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/1982/09/30/us/suit-on-race-recalls-lines-drawn-under-slavery.html" target="_blank">NY Times Article</a> </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">New Orleans is a place that my family has a lot of history with for a brief amount of time. My fifth great-grandfather, also a Joseph, left Mobile and moved to Ville Platt in St. Landry Parish, Lousiana. That is where they joined the local Cajun community there and lived through a lot of stuff... His son my forth great-grandfather, was born in Lousiana in 1781 and married Severine Lemoine. The Lemoine (Le Moyne) name is famous because that is the name of the man who started New Orleans. I am not sure if she is related but will look into that. The other branch of the family that is important here is the Bernadas line, and that is who we visited in the cemetery. </span></div>

It was back to California and the terrible fires burning here, wish we can send some of that rain we dealt with everyday to my home state.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">4th of July this year was smack dab in the middle of the week.. so I decided to come up here on the 3rd and stay for the rest of the week and weekend. I am dog-sitting a friend's dog as well, a female husky named Flower, so it seemed like a better idea to have her here in this big house vs. my small apartment in the city. The weather was really good for the 4th only getting to the mid 80's but it soon got hotter the next couple of days. My garden this year is very small, due to the gophers and everything getting eaten, I decided to not plant a couple of the beds. But, I did finally finish putting mulch down over the whole garden after working on it for 4 years. I also have my neighbors goats here eating the weeds down... so that is always exciting! </span></div>

Make sure you overlap the edges by about 4 inches or more to help block the weeds from finding a seam to poke up though. One thing i have learned is to use A LOT of mulch.. each of these piles is one 2 cubic foot bag of mulch. I used to put it much thinner but this is the most effective way to keep the weeds out. The reason it has taken so long is that prepping the dirt to get all the weeds and rocks out and somewhat smooth takes a lot of effort. And I wait until Lowes has this mulch on sale...<br />

This is a picture of one of the tomatoes I started in my greenhouse aquaponics system. I have planted 5 of these tomato plants in the garden and hope they survive. I also have about 6 more in the greenhouse in the grow beds for back up plants. For me, tomatoes don't taste as good grown in the greenhouse, they need the dirt to really get that bright tomato taste. However, starting the plants in the grow beds gives me a really nice transplant to use.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
And finally, the quail this year are not as plentiful has they were last year but that is because we didn't get the amount of rain like last winter. But they are still on my property and they tend to hide in the bushes and branches of trees that fall down. This one is the look out for his little group of quail..</div>

Such a pretty bird, and to be honest, they are very tasty too. I can't hunt on my property so they are safe from me, but not the other predators like cats, dogs, foxes, hawks and coyotes. </div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My mom and I are here at the first day of the genealogy conference, but we are taking different tracks. She is taking the family history writers track and I am more interested in the genetic genealogy track. My first session today, "The Danger of Distant Genetic Matches", was fascinating! The speaker was Blaine T. Bettinger, Phd and he has a couple books out on the use of DNA in genealogy. His class talked about how to do "phasing" with the DNA of your parents and since both my parents and my son have had DNA tested, I can really do this! It will weed out the matches that are attributed to false positives due to the various algorithms the DNA sites use. My dad has so many people in Finland that are matching and we don't know why so that might help with this question.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My mom is now inspired to write so many stories, that she is going to get a cup of coffee and think about what she could write. Regarding family stories, my (maternal) great, great, uncle Dan Goodan, was not a good man. He was a thief, felon and a con man... and also fathered a child with a woman when get out of Folsom prison. This man had several kids and through DNA testing, we met Janet! She is my 3rd cousin, the grand-daughter of Dan Goodan and a really nice lady. She missed out on the cousins that my mom had and it was clear they both were sad about that.. but hopefully, this new "family" connection will help her feel like she does belong with us and connect with us more. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Day 1 is over and it has been an interesting day, great presenters, location is good, service and concessions have been terrible but you can't have it all!</span><br />

This cat has been hunting on my property for years and I always worry about her. But when she came face-to-face with a fox, she didn't back down.<br />
<br />
The fox is so confused by her!<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hi</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I missed going to my house for a few weeks in April and the weeds just exploded! I spent many hours hacking and spraying them, but for all the work, this is my favorite time of the year. There lupines are in full bloom with the red clover and golden poppies just getting going. And my tree frogs move back to the greenhouse in anticipation of the heat that is just around the corner. But the vermin are active again and my fight with them continues.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This year I planted my winter garden of onions and garlic as usual, but the voles have eaten most all of the onions. Out of 100 plants, I have about 8 of them left. I am so mad because that is my favorite crop! The carrots are doing okay, not as good as last year because a bit less rain, but there were some oddities there as well. </span><br />

This is a video of my goldfish in the aquaponics tank. I bought them 4 years ago and they are just huge now. The noise is the hail and rain outside...<br />
This was done via my phone sorry for any goofs!<br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When I moved the blueberry plants up to the garden, we were in the middle of another drought year. No rain, no snow, no bueno. This month, March, has been wild in terms of weather. We have had some low snow levels and lots of rain, and yesterday, I got hail for about 15 minutes. </span><br />

<b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Warning - Plant Geek ahead!</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I have a small patch of carrots because the seeds really didn't germinate this year as successfully as last year. (Carrots are notorious for being fickle to germinate.) This first bunch didn't taste too good I think because it had been so warm this winter, until these last two weeks. Next week I will pull a couple more and see if they taste better. Carrots are a winter vegetable, and need cold to taste better. (When it gets cold, they pull nutrients and energy from their leaves, and store it in the root.)They are also good for storage because you can leave them in the ground over winter, as long as the ground doesn't freeze really hard. Or you have voles that eat them all up! One other fact about carrots is that they are not <span style="background-color: #fff2cc;">annual </span>or perennial, they are biennial ; which means they grow for the first year, and if you leave them in the ground, they will flower and set seeds the second year. I have never done this but I might do it this year with 1 or 2 of them. Just to see what happens.. of course, if the plant is a hybrid even though it sets seeds, the results will be different than what you were hoping for. They will take the characteristics of 1 of the parents, not both. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Okay enough plant talk! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Hello</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Last year, I went to a whole lot of trouble to create an area to grow blueberries and blackberries, where the old grape vines used to be. I worked on building that soil up, putting up a deer fence and even chopped down a tree branch that was hanging over the area. I planted them all and I was very happy.. until summer came around. My garden area is where I spend most of my time, but this large planting area was on the other side of the citrus trees and by the time I got finished with everything I was working on in the main garden, I never made it down to see them. They suffered quite a lot I am afraid.. totally my fault. This winter I decided to move them up to the main garden, and built them a planting bed that used my old deck boards. I knew that I wanted something skinny and long so that it would fit in the area next to the strawberries.. so I found 2 each of the 16 foot boards for the sides, then cut 12 inch end pieces. I used corner brackets and screws to put them together because they hold better than nailing or just screws. I used the same technique when building up the strawberry beds as well, they just hold better especially when you have wood that is older.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Then of course you have to out in gopher wire which means staple gun time! You lay it out and just start stapling it to the frame, this was a narrow bed so I have the wire going down pretty deep. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">This weekend, I added the peat moss, the dirt and transplanted the blue berries. The like acid soil which is unusual and why I added the peat moss. I am not sure if they will make it since I so neglected them last year. If not, I will try and plant more next year and pay attention to them! They are bit hard to see because they are just sticks right now.. since they are dormant. Soon they should leaf out and I will see who is still alive. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This has been another really dry year, so I am not sure what I will be able to plant in the outside garden. I was really hoping to plant the Stupice tomatoes because they canned up so well and they taste wonderful still. When I open a jar of these beauties, it tastes like summer again!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We have some flowers blooming and of course I have to share the daffodil pictures before I go..</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hello All!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As you guys now know, as well as being an obsessed garderner and fervent fixer-upper, for the last 7 years or so, I have been assisting my mother with our family history. When the technology started replacing paper records, and when DNA really started to show results, it was too much for her to deal with on her own. So she leaves me to uncover the new family members (Hello Adam, Janet and Shasta!) as well as the deeply buried internet records, and she is now telling the story of the family to the rest of our family.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To that end, we are going to attend a conference at the end of May in Southern California, which has me excited because of the heavy presence of DNA talks! I wish there was more on how to become a genealogist as a career but hey, I will be learning a ton of things here!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If anyone is interested in coming to the this with me, here is the link;</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Hello </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">My diversion into genealogy started with my dads grandfather, my great grandfather Karsten, who died before my father was born. (Just like my grandfather died before I was born, but that is another story.) The family didn't have a lot of knowledge about his life before America, only that he came from Trondheim, Norway and had 2 siblings. There were also rumors about he left Norway to avoid the draft and so on. We had 1 clue which was a letter from his mother, written in Norwegian when his third son Richard was born. My mother had been focusing on her family for years and really didn't get far with my dad's family. Norway in general is difficult because even though they have great records, they are in Norwegian and frequently not digital. (This is rapidly changing and I am happy to see it!) So, here is the story that Ancestry.com has created about my great-grandfather.. it is not complete but when you look at the documents and the details you can see that he travelled here at a young age following his cousin Svend. His cousin, is our cousin Kaare's uncle, so the whole thing came back in a circle. My dad and Kaare are good friends and cousins, just like Svend and Karsten. <a href="https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/person/tree/66066957/person/44146100088/story" target="_blank">Karsten's Story</a></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hello All</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For the last 4 or 5 years, I have been assisting my mother in our family genealogy. She has been studying the family tree for 20 plus years, way before there was computers and with the advent of the internet and ancestry.com, she needed help. Also, her family on her father's side was french/cajun and they were many, many people with the same name. She never got time to research my dad's side, the Norwegian, German and English folks. I volunteered and now I am facinated by what I have been able to find.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The other big event that has happened to genealogy is that DNA is now available and affordable and all these family myths, legends and stories are falling by the wayside. We have found a few illegitimate children this way.. which makes it very interesting.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One thing I would like to do is to start a side business as a genealogy consultant. My mother knew she needed help when she couldn't find information on someone, and would punt them over to me. This work that I did led us to visit Norway in 2014 and find a 3rd cousin and other family members to my father. As well as our connection to the Trondheim, E.C. Dahl's Brewery.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So my plan is to alternate these story lines between my house and the family ancestry stuff and see if you like that... if you or someone you know of, is looking for help with their family tree and need assistance, please contact me. email: jtonseth@comcast.net</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Hi</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Well it is that time of year again, where the summer plants are still trying to hang on but it is time to pull them out and start the winter crop. It is kind of sad when you have been enjoying the tomatoes and strawberries and well tomatoes... Here is what the tomatoes looked like when I pullled them out. Just a huge tangle of vines, with the last of the tomatoes on them..</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The big grow bed with the squash plants didn't look much better... the leaves were mildewed and it was just time for them to be done. I got a huge wheelbarrow full of butternut squash though, so it was worth it.</span></div>

They are sold in bundles of 50 for $4.99 - Rising Sun Nursery is my local place and I just love them! One thing I did different this year is instead of cramming them into the 4 x 8 boxes, I put them in the large planting area. They needed to have more space.<br />

I love the winter garden because if you get enough water and you plant at the right time.. you have very little work to do. I have also put seeds out for carrots and beets in one of the other beds. When people say that it is too much work to manage a garden, I suggest winter gardening. The return on investment is huge when you look at the cost of buying organic onions and garlic. I pay 10 cents a plant for the onions and nothing for the garlic, so it is all profit and very little work.</div>
