speaking of history...i have done my entire family plus Nate’ genealogy on Ancestry.

My mom connected with a gal she went to high school with who turns out to be her 4th cousin. Anyway, she sent mom some cool family history today. Homer was my great grand uncle and he made this wooden ornament 112 years ago. inscribed: “ God bless us all! Though I am but a little boy, I have a word to say. God bless us all both large and small, this happy Christmas day!”

He was my grandma’s dad’s brother. lol. History truly amazes me.

So cool - would love to trace my genealogy.  A little scared what I might find.

The coolest item was a Canadian National Park Pass from 1937.  I actually found it a few months ago and got it, but Lisa wrapped it up and surprised me with it.😉 It’s made of brass and back in the day you would screw or wire it onto your car.

That is Wonderful news!!!   I am always amazed how quick they send people home after major surgery but figure everyone recuperates at home better than hospital.  They dont let you sleep in the hospital.   

Now, dont give him a bell to ring if he needs anything....hehe😍

So we had a small amount of excitement this morning caused by Lucy. She was gone for a couple days.  She spent a few nights where she was born. She walked down the laneway with our neighbour on her return home and then continued on her way home.
 

Out of nowhere came a fox and the two of them had a standoff.  By the time he got his rifle Lucy was up a tree. The neighbour drove over and chased the fox away but didn’t get him.  Needless to say she enjoyed the ride home. Sadly the foxes will have to go sooner than later. 
 

We did find out that Lucy was sleeping in their shop, on a blanket under their heater. No wonder she didn’t want to walk home yesterday in the pouring rain just above freezing. 😉

That's great your neighbors watch out for her.  Looks like she likes a car ride.

Happy to hear she is just fine.

She's no dummy.  She knew where to bunker down.

Yup, those darn red foxes in my neighborhood are always a problem.

I was watching a program on house buying in Greece yesterday and there was a plaque in memory of Homer the Greek poet.

Is this the same Homer Crystal?

In my late dad's Italian ancestors the great painter Giovanni Bellini from Venice is a relative of ours.

I hope Nate is recovering well.

Stay safe and enjoy new year's eve.

Graham

That's awesome about Bellini! Did anyone in the family in years to come show evidence of artistic talent?

Cats kind of look like rabbits. And predators like rabbits. :classic_tongue:

 

I'm glad that Nate is home recovering. It is so much more comfortable at home. :classic_smile:

 

And Happy Birthday Andrew. It looks like you did well. My dad always disliked being born so close to Christmas. (when he was a child). Happy Christmas gifts never seemed quite fair. :classic_biggrin:
