I’ve created a new account to share my stories about library genealogist life and dead people stuff. I hope you’ll follow me there! (I won’t be using this acct. much anymore.)

Hello family! Nearest stone is John and Emily Carpenter Brickey (my 1st cousin 6x removed & his wife), two of their children next to them, and several others behind them. #genealogy https://t.co/hBr3K0Cern

I finally had a proper cemetery exploring day and the weather was perfectly gloomy for it. The grass was cool and wet on my bare feet. https://t.co/tKpmmJVnvL

I didn’t know my favorite beverage was a pre-1940 thing that existed, but I found this recipe booklet in some of my ancestor’s things. #icedcoffee

@dylanmalone @bestofnextdoor I definitely came here to say this. Especially if it’s an historic home. 😭

Definitely not weird. Will you take $350.... 200 if I have to do spot removal? 😄 https://t.co/hKTZWWPoak

I quit drinking alcohol almost two years ago (not addiction-related, just personal choice). Coffee has been a faithful replacement, but now I have caffeine tremors and insomnia whenever I check the news.

How are y’all just learning about funeral potatoes? https://t.co/fvuP5tTTSd

[NPR @NPR]

“Funeral potatoes” are a combination of cubed potatoes, cream of chicken soup, cheese, and — the coup de grâce — a topping of butter-crisp Corn Flakes. And they’re a staple at Mormon gatherings.

A Walk With Death on #CemeterySunday . An estimated 27,000 MIssouri citizens (Confederate & Union loyalties) were killed during the Civil War. In honor of the soldiers to whom the day of remembrance was established and those who have bravely followed.

Finally have a day off to catch up on @wdytya and I was so moved by @MrJonCryer ‘s episode... A truly moving discovery of determination and strength, and an important family story for future generations.

@elaitch @bestofnextdoor 😂 oh for sure!

[Ginger @GingerJustus]

I recently became obsessed with @bestofnextdoor and today I found this gem on my local Nextdoor group. Like how do polls work though? 🧐 #Nextdoor

[Ginger @GingerJustus]

@KormanBob @bestofnextdoor Oh dammit. I got too excited and forgot.
