It’s a way to map out what the brain sometimes doesn’t want to deal with all at once.

Oh same.....I have to stop to organize every now and then or I completely lose focus and can't find anything. I am considering a larger cork board than the one I have so I don't wind up taping reams of paper together and plastering it on the wall.

My genealogy version of a cold case team’s investigation board. I have the yarn and push pins, just need a huge bulletin board now…because there’s more, so much more.

@letitiamoffitt1.bsky.social

And @cerydwyn.bsky.social, I’m thrilled to have you back to tell us about your research. Just 90 min from now! Details 👇

I’m looking forward to it!

Look at this absolutely fantastic plaque made by @wayneq4444.bsky.social Wayne Quigg!!! Such woodworking talent. I can’t wait to paint it and hang it out for Spooky Season. The Lanthorne Ordinary Witches thank you!!!

This is a fabulous piece that I am so grateful for. It is a concrete manifestation of the Lanthorne. Thank you!!!

That sounds exactly in keeping with the spirit of the Lanthorne.

I'd be happy to paint it! You've done so much, and I can't tell you how much it will mean to have this piece. My dad could paint, so I'll try to 'channel' that! I meant to say I did pet portraits, as well as wildlife. Here's a couple of my drawings I still have around.

I used to draw quite a bit. I did portraits.

Oh wow, that’s not looking ahead. Hopefully, it won’t happen.

It must have been. Was it from the Canadian Thames running through The city or something else? Other cities up the Ohio had even worse conditions, like Louisville and Cincinnati.

Ha ha ha!! Not at all. It was a miserable time. Growing up, I heard stories from people still talking about it every January. Until recently, one of the original buildings on the waterfront was still standing and had the high water mark painted on it. I looked at it every time I drove past.

Alice Louise Castanedo Gift from a Poet

Alice Castanedo of New Orleans gave me a gift through her poem, but she remains one of the most elusive ladies from the 1882 autograph book.
