I bought Collectify My Stuff, a program for organizing my collections years ago,

I thought it was in 2006. After our first computer crashed, I never reinstalled

it on the new one. When I was deleting my thousands of emails,( about 4800 left

to go)I ran across some emails from the company(it's just Collectify now) and

decided to reinstall the program. I looked everywhere for the key but couldn't

find it. I sent them an email requesting the Reg. key last night, and they

emailed me with the key and said that I purchased the program in Aug. 2004. I

downloaded the newest version and started to put my collections in it again. The

new version is better, and I'm glad I didn't have to pay for it again, it went

up from $99 to $149. Now they have another program just for home inventory for

insurance purposes which is $49, but the one I have does that too. There is a 30

day evaluation of the full program you can download. It kind of reminds me of

the Genealogy programs.

You can make catalogues of your collection too. It's a really good program.

There is a video of the features at http://Collectify.com.

spent very little time because of her own site and her work.   Sharon used to

get tied up with her other projects and left it solely to me for long stretches.

Appears they are getting back to their old habits now that they have established

themselves.

For twenty dollars they will do a look up - but will not guarantee they

will find anything.  I am snail mailing a request for the birth

certificate with the vol. and page number I found at FHC so they should

find something for the twenty bucks.

Sheri

I was just up on your "other side of the monitor" and noticed where you mention

wanting more of the brownware - Marcrest Daisey and Dot.

Go to this site and you can order whatever they have available and hoping it is

the ones you need.

They have a special on where they are only charging $5.99 for shipping at the

present time for any or all orders.



I have used this outfit several times - actually I received an order from them

just yesterday.   I added to my good china to expand the settings from 8 to 12. 

I didn't think I would ever be able to match it after fifty years - but they had

it.  On my Noritake china, I am now replacing all the pieces that were broken in

my last move.  They sell good pieces of slightly damaged.   I have been getting

the good - like new pieces which costs more, but just to be able to get them is

amazing to me.

I had trouble sleeping last night so came out to the computer room and did some

Census checking and found that one of the names for one of the  siblings I had

listed for Quinton Rankhorn/Ranhorne was different then the names I found in the

Census.   I have a feeling that the mother gave me a 'pet' name and this may be

a recorded name.   Have more checking to do, but figured while I am in Virginia

Beach visiting my Granddaughter, I will have her call her other Grandmother and

see if she can get the straight poop!   Many of them are buried in the Norfolk

Cemetery so I would like to take some time to check that out as well.   We have

a day or two of spare time and Geo. is planning to play golf with

Grandson-in-law while we are there, so maybe Granddaughter will drive me to the

Cemetery-or leave me the car so I can go.

Norma, the census takers were bad spellers, I don't know how they picked

census-takers in the past, but it wasn't for their spelling accuracy. I have

found that nicknames were commonly used in census-taking, they were more

concerned with head-counts than names. I have yet to find a census with my

grandaunt's name on it, her name was Henrietta and I've only seen her name as

Nettie in censuses. My second cousin had her sister down twice, as Attie and

Harriet, one died in 1906, one died at 6 years of age. I found one thing from my

cousin's papers, I found out that when Harriet died from eating poison roots, my

grandfather ate dome as well and would have died too, but he vomited after

eating them and she didn't.

Not sure about the criteria for Census takers back then, but I had a Gr. Aunt

that did the Census in 1910 and my mother was a Census taker for the 1940

Census.  (she was a good speller)  The main thing is that they print or write

clearly (well that isn't true) and they record a record for every house (that

isn't always true either)   This Census they are encouraging the Hispanics to

come out and do the Census so what does that tell you?

Anyway, the problem with this one person is that I found a John Ranhorne in the

census but the only child I had that fit in that time frame was a Vernon

Ranhorne that the Grandmother gave me.  Unless Vernon died at childbirth or at a

young age - and John was the next child born?   Anything is possible.

We went to the auction on Saturday, but my back was aching so we just stayed for

a couple of hours. I got a good deal on an antique stoneware mixing bowl and

some cast iron bake ware for camping. Hubby got some baseball cards. There were

a lot of people there and it was a big auction, it probably lasted all day.

Well, I think more people are checking out auctions, etc. before buying new.

They were waiving the buyer's premium if you paid in cash, they've never done

that before. Everything was going low, nobody wants to part with their money.

I see a lot more people going to Thrift Stores now.....

We drove through some rain today in North Carolina and South Carolina.  We are

in Georgia and hope to be home tomorrow by early afternoon.  We are both ready.

The older we get the harder the trips seem to be.  We enjoyed seeing all the

young uns.

They were waiving the buyer's premium if you paid in cash, they've never done

I have a ton of laundry and a lot of work to do, but it is so nice to be back

home, that I will enjoy getting back to normal - whatever that is.

BTW Sheri - Congratulations on all the photos for the cemetery project.  That is

quite an undertaking and a well needed one.

Well - this is not my week.  Yesterday when I went to PAFB - my window would not

open at the gate for the guard to see my ID.   Had to open my door in all the

rain.   Knowing that, I decided that I better not go to the drive in window to

pick up my Rx - so had to park and go inside - dodging the rain drops.

Then today I had my appointment with the urologist and they want more tests

done.   They found a small cyst on the kidney but not to worry about that - just

watch it, all other test came back negative with the exception of the polyp they

cauterized while I was there.  But still having original symptoms so now I have

to go for a IVP next week.  They insert dye and watch it through all the

functions.   I am so far behind in my work I was going to clean house tomorrow,

but now I have an appointment to get my window fixed.  So it has been a very

run, run week - all in bad weather.

I hope next week will give better news.

Sheri, I think that the courthouses should have everything backed up offsite,

but I guess they're still stuck in the 20th century.

I have been busy with my vegetable garden the last couple of days. I used a

pitch fork to work up the garden, got tired of waiting for hubby to rent a

tiller. The garden is about 20x40. I planted some tomatoes, onions, peppers and

garlic that we bought a few weeks ago. Now I think I'll let hubby plant the

seeds. He was upset that I did it by hand, but I got tired of waiting, I didn't

want a weed garden again this year. I had to remove a two year old maple sapling

from the middle of the garden and broke a shovel.

Hubby has to remove the ornamental cherry tree by the garage today, it's

diseased and dying.

That is back breaking hard labor - but one that you can look back on with

satisfaction and probably enjoy the fruits of your labor so much more when the

crops come in.   They say that garlic helps to keep bugs away from the other

plants - I hope it works.

tiller. The garden is about 20x40. I planted some tomatoes, onions, peppers and

garlic that we bought a few weeks ago. Now I think I'll let hubby plant the

seeds. He was upset that I did it by hand, but I got tired of waiting, I didn't

want a weed garden again this year. I had to remove a two year old maple sapling

from the middle of the garden and broke a shovel.

Norma,  I have a mid-back injury so I use leverage and body weight to work the

soil. I had a harder time raking it out than digging it up, I can't use my arms

very long. I think it does a better job with the fork than with the tiller

anyway, it goes deeper and doesn't chop up the worms.

it hadicap your activities.

Thanks Sheri, I'm sorry to hear about your niece, I hope it isn't cancer, but

she's lucky they found it before she had any symptoms.



I have to go shopping this morning, hubby's birthday's on Monday, we're having a

bbq, I have to get supplies.
