I attended my first Lá Gaeilge (Irish Language Day) this past Saturday. It was at Elms College in Chicopee, MA. God, I hate the Mass Pike. But the event was fun for the most part.
It was very interesting hearing a bunch of folks speaking the language in a million different little day-to-day conversations.… Read the rest
This is the single stone that I wanted to find yesterday. It just so happens to be right up the street from the house. I was expecting just Elmer C. Lee, Jenny’s great uncle.
As you can see, it lists not only old Elmer, but his wife (who I had no record of), his mother (which was a shocker to both Jenny and I) and gives us the location of the mysterious John E.… Read the rest

Last weekend I installed the sheetrock on some framing I installed at the bottom of the basement stairs.
Hate to admit it, but T@# was right. There is not a damn thing that is square or level in this house!
Not stopping at that, I started ‘rocking up sections of the main basement dividing wall around pipes, etc.… Read the rest

Sure. Sure. It sounds like I know them. Well, after spending a week with them, I kind of do! Too bad they have been dead for about a hundred years! They were my 2nd great grandparents. And, until this week, they were as far back on the Flynn-side of the house as we knew.… Read the rest
