MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM

FLIPSIDE

Christmas Eve

I had high hopes of actually submitting a post of Christmas Eve traditions. Driving to and from Chicago for my son's emergency surgery put an end to that notion, so I am opting for a vintage Christmas Eve post card.

Hopefully next year, Flipside will reveal some of our Christmas Eve fun. I am thinking of one year in particular, when I was in my infancy of family genealogical research, that brings gales of laughter to everyone who participated.

Stay tuned til December 24, 2011....wink wink

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY

The road is calling and Flipside will be on vacation for a week. There will be the usual days swimming, dinners out and sight seeing, but with a genealogist on board, cemeteries and old family haunts are also in the plans. This summer the focus will be the faces and places that are my cousin's Mom's lineage (my Aunt Barb)--McGoey, McGovern, Mitchell and Green (how Irish is that!) in Clearfield County, Pennsylvania.. I will keep blogging and posting photos once we find some WiFi connectivity......cause my brother has an I-phone and he "has an app for that." Stay tuned!
