New pictures to share with you all...

Hi Friends and Family, I am stressing the F's because that is the latest letter than my granddaughter Rebekah has learned how to recognise by sight and sound. She is wanting to learn to read so we are spending lots of time on each letter, learning it's name, it's sound and many words that start with that letter. I will post a picture of our collage when we finish it. I am enjoying living so near my granddaughters! We have a beautiful view of the (frozen) lake and also at night we can see the lights on Switzer ski resort across the lake. WOW, it is so awesome. I hear tomorrow we will be getting a big snow storm too. Today it is really cold (~12 degrees) and icy with old snow on the ground. Josh and Fern have had a "construction guy" putting in their new wood burning stove into their house all day today. I am not sure if he is done or not, I should give them a call or walk over and see if it is done. Although I will admit that I am tired and sleepy right now so may just wait until tomorrow. I have almost finished cleaning the old house. I ran out of rug shampoo so need to go back to finish up the floors. I have a few cleaning supplies still there also. But will be done soon. Now with the snow coming I may be slowed down again. I am also so sore that I can hardly move. My arms, shoulders, neck and upper back are really stiff and painful. I took a hot bath with Epson salts this am and it may have helped some but the tightness and stiffness is increasing again. It may just be the Fibromyalgia flaring up from the cold, wet weather also. **I want you opinion. I was talking to a friend from church the other day and she told me that she thinks that I was mis-named. She thinks that I am a Jillian. What do you all think? I like the name but seem a little old to be changing my name at this time. I guess maybe I could use it as my pen-name when I finally write a book or two. I have been doing lots of genealogy research. I just discovered that I am first cousin 9 X removed from Benjamin Franklin. There are also other names I will share later. I am trying to get all of the information that I can so I can get it into book form. If any family has anything to tell me or add, please just zip off an email to me at cgillice@gmail.com. Or you can also go to http://www.ancestry.com/ where I have two family lines going. One, the Archibald line, is just my direct line to Theodore Turley, and the second one is the Gillice line, where I am trying to get everything put on it. So if you are a relative of mine please get your information to me. I spend lots of time doing my genealogy and I love it. It makes me realize that I am as American as apple pie, and Michael Jackson! I am attaching some a new picture of me. Please also visit my facebook to see the new pic's I am posting there. Talk to you all later....I may just go take a nap now (and some aspirin too). Love you all, Cathy Jo
