Arms and Badges

Topic: The never ending quest of Arms and Badges
Family Name Associations: All
Location: Barrie, Ontario
Mood: Exhausted but WIDE awake
Music: Mark was playing twangy country… Unhuh… Okay then!

So we’re in the home stretch on Arms and Badges. Everything up to G is done, and everything else is waiting text and posting… With the exception of about 6 names that are what I like to call ‘Nightmare Names’ Because they have no noted arms, mottos, badges, crests… No anything but people who have the name!

We’ve been working on this straight for four days. Jules, Kev and Jim and I… And sometimes Mark have been slaves to the Arms.
Jim’s just going to finish up the text (I suck with curved text!) And we’ll be done. A good 90 tree names with cute little pages all about the names we come from. Yay us!!!

My ‘To-Do’ list is longer than my arm… Tonight I’m gathering graves for Jules, then seeing if I can’t get a few more tiny tasks cleaned up.
Tomorrow it’s back to adding people, documents and whatnot… History pages need more text, images… The cemeteries are a mess, all the photos still need banners…

May isn’t that far away.

Will we be ready???

I know we can’t be 100% ever… But there was a certain amount of ‘finished’ I know we were all looking forward to before we went live.

Oh, that’s Jim home… I have lunches to make and details to fill in. More soon, I’m sure 🙂
