My MSU adviser from almost a decade ago contacted me this week because she remembered I&#8217;d offered to help her with her family history. It has been pretty easy to help her because so much of her family&#8217;s documents are uploaded onto Family Search. Thank goodness for the indexing projects. I have located several generation of census records and some death certificates for her. Our next project is finding a marriage certificate. But anyway, it has been a really happy, uplifting, and fun experience. I found some more records today, so that was a bright spot.<\/p>\n<p>While I was at class, Abe was home crafting with the girls. I&#8217;m really glad he did that, because I&#8217;ve been really letting it go on the mothering\/homemaking front lately.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_1109.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-6573\" alt=\"IMG_1109\" src=\"http:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_1109-1024x682.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" \/><\/a>Here are the pictures of tonight&#8217;s food:<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6575\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6575\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/abeandlily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/IMG_0039.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-6575\" alt=\"My cucumber bowls.
