My Other Life

Sheri Fenley at the The Educated Genealogist  posted "My Other Life" a listing of what occupies her time when genealogy doesn't.  I thought I would own up to my own misguided life.

I some times work as a private investigator.....

I sew.  I make ornaments with glass, solder and images of my family. My husband and I make spoon rings and I use the remnants to make ornaments.

I watch CSI, Bones, Castle, Law & Order, The Closer, PanAm and the Big Bang Theory.  I watch Lifetime and Hallmark movies that make me cry.

I cook and bake.

My husband and I have one child left at home that resides with us when she is not at Northern Arizona University - the rest are out of the house - so we have upped our traveling.

I play with my dogs and cuddle with my old tom cat Frank.

I do Suduko, read mysteries and romance novels.

This may be a silly question but are spoon rings what it sounds like they are?

Yes it is! Gary and I pick up spoons at garage and estate sales and make them into jewelry. My girls love them. I pound the spoons bowl down and make ornaments out of them.

cir 1885                                                                                     cir 1910 Dedicated in 1880, St. Mary’s hospital was fully supported by the residents of Tucson. Originally it had been planned as a school, however, the Bishop Salpointe decided to make the school a hospital as it neared its completion. The hospital opened with twelve beds, Dr. John C. Hardy, and four Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelot: Sister St. Martin Dunn, Sister Julia Ford, Sister Basil Morris, and Sister Mary John Noli. A second story was added to the hospital in 1882. The physician staff grew by six and the hospital had the capacity of fifty beds by 1900.   The Arizona State Genealogical Society sells a book documenting admissions to the hospital 1909 to 1920.
