Araucaria Appreciation Thread

Hello Johnnie , thanks for writing to me buddy

It's a shame you were not able to visit that private garden beacause of the gloomy weather

I hope you get better weather soon
I also hope that you have a pleasant Tuesday later My Friend
:rb:
 
Good Thursday morning, Thad, Frankie, and RM! (*8*) :kiss:

I'm going to have a couple of busy days. Tonight I'm going to Drag Bingo, a fundraiser for MCC with real live drag queens. Tomorrow will be the Winter Program on Zoom, where the genealogical society will have an expert talking about finding your ancestors. It's supposed to be windy and cold, so I'll be happy to stay indoors and not do anything but listen to the speaker.

On Monday I was finally able to get out to chop up my cashew tree and prop the 4 foot stump back up, so it can hopefully grow back up. It occurred to me that I might transplant it somewhere else in the backyard, but there really is no place else for it.
 
Hello Johnnie thanks for writing buddy

I hope you have a ball tonight at the Drag Bingo

As there is no other place to transplant your cashew tree maybe you should just leave it where it is

About Peru , well we have an interim president who is supposed to finish her period on July 2026 , but there's corruption beeing unveiled progressively , so the lady may not make it to 2026 , the political situation is uncertain here , it's been a nutty drama the last 8 or 10 years

Right now we're in summer in the Southern Hemisphere , there is a lot of rain in the highland areas and in the jungle as well , nonetheless , the coast area is experiencing high summer temperatures , but they're not that high in my view , in short I think it's not a bad idea to visit Peru in 2024 , the summer ends in late March ....

I hope you have a pleasant Weekend My Friend
 
Good Monday morning, Frankie and RM! (*8*) :kiss:

I had a good weekend. The Drag Bingo night went well, it was a lot of fun. And the Genealogy Zoom meeting was good. The gist of what I got is the point of citations is to make sure you or someone else can go back later and look at the source, not to get it down precisely right, and that sometimes when you can't find an ancestor, it's often because of a name change due to a marriage or maybe the parent remarried.
 
Hola Johnnie

I hope you also have a pleasant week

Take care Buddy
 
Hi John! Happy weekend!

I'm safely home after a comfortable uneventful train ride from Cleveland Tuesday. I bought groceries but haven't done much else since.

Hope you're well and happy. January is almost over!
 
Good Saturday morning, Frankie and Thad! (*8*) :kiss:

Thad, I'm glad you had that Cleveland trip, and you got back home from a nice train ride. Yeah, I know the feeling when you get home, you just don't want to go out and do the necessities, you just want to rest.

I've had a mostly uneventful week, except for Thursday, when I met two friends to eat lunch at an Indian restaurant, though it turned out to be more involved than that. I got to the restaurant, and had already sat down at the table, when one friend came in and said he got a call that my other friend had an accident, and couldn't drive his car. So I rode with the first friend to pick up the second friend, who lives a good distance away in the opposite direction. It happens that the first friend had been in the hospital recently, dealing with cancer. He seems healthy now, but he said he was waiting on lab results, which would be rather definitive on whether he still has it. I don't get a good feeling from that.

So we went to pick up my other friend, who it turned out damaged his rear bumper hitting something while backing out of his driveway. The bumper apparently had been dislodged so it came in contact with the rear tire, and couldn't be driven. This friend has had major eye surgery, and apparently the vision in his eyes are no longer coordinated, so as he tells it, he has double vision, and no depth perception.

We drove back to the restaurant. It was quite an experience, with my first friend who seemed to be making all the wrong turns, and my second friend, who turned out to be an awful backseat driver, barking out commands like "you need to be in this lane..."

The restaurant itself was nice. It was an Indian buffet, and we got to talk. The second friend though, questioned everything, like, did they use flour for the breading, since he cannot have gluten, and he cannot have MSG. One reason he likes Indian restaurants is that supposedly they don't put MSG in their food.
 
Good evening, John.
I see that restaurant trip was quite an adventure...
I hope you're having a good weekend.
 
Good Saturday night, Loner and Paul! (*8*) :kiss:

Today I finally got out to cut back what's left of my Australian pine hedge. You guys probably don't know what that is, but I have to cut them back once a year or they'll grow to tree size, which would be costly to remove them. I try to do it in the winter, since it's too hot to do that kind of yard work here the rest of the year. I wore myself out doing that, and I feel tired, worn out, and achy. It makes me think that I should pay someone to remove them anyway. I'm getting older, and it's getting harder to do this each year, and getting rid of them would eliminate one thing I have to do. Besides, these few trees no longer serve the purpose of being an aesthetically pleasing hedge
 
Hello Johnnie , I hope that your friend , in case that he's got cancer I hope that he can pull through

maybe in the future you should consider hiring a trustable person to do all the gardening hard work you do

As one gets older , I think one has to be more wary and cautious with the things one does to avoid accidents

Have a pleasant Sunday buddy
 
Good Wednesday morning, Frankie and Andrew! (*8*) :kiss:

Well, it's been a rather quiet week so far. Tomorrow I'm hosting a breakfast at a restaurant for the Old Farts club. 9 people have signed up, I'll see how many actually show up, but lately there have been lots of no-shows. That means I'll have to the restaurant and get them to set up tables for 9 people, but it's going to be embarrassing if only half that many actually come.

I got a message through ancestry from a woman that did a lot of work on a branch of the family in which one ancestor has been particularly difficult to track. I previously threw up my hands and said I'd get back to it later, but I never did. It seems she thinks that there were actually two men, our ancestor and his cousin with similar names and ages who lived close together, and that might explain the anomalous results. That seems to make it easier than thinking my ancestor was guilty of bigamy and multiple affairs, and that one daughter might have been from a different household, rather than he left my gg-grandmother to have a daughter with another woman, then come back to her to have the youngest son, etc. But I'm sure we'll never be able to figure out everything. I think I'm going to write that woman a thank you note for going through all that trouble. It's going to take me months to go through everything she did, there's so much there.
 
Hello Johnnie , I hope you have a pleasant Thursday later

Tracking one's ancestors must be so complex and challenging , I guess you should send that lady a thank you note for what she's done

Take care Buddy
 
Good evening, John. I hope you are having a good weekend (*8*)

Genealogy can be fun. I remember finding an ancestor who married 3 times :oops:
 
Good Sunday morning Frankie, Thad, and Paul! (*8*) :kiss:

I spent the better part of yesterday morning cleaning and scrubbing a couple of cat-carrying cages and a couple of bird cages in the bathtub yesterday. I plan to donate them to the MCC yard sale later this month. I no longer have pets, and I had to get rid of the dirt and dust they accumulated just sitting around for a couple of years. The cat carriers were OK to clean, but the bird cages were a bitch. You'd be surprised at how difficult it was to scrub the wire cages.

I did write back to that woman doing the genealogy. And it does look like my ancestor did leave my gg-grandmother for another woman, and then went back to her, before going on to yet another woman, or perhaps back to the second woman-- the records we can find aren't clear. But after all, this was during and shortly after the U. S. Civil War in North Florida and South Georgia, a tumultuous time, to be sure.

Well, it's supposed to rain and be stormy today. The rain hasn't started yet, but they just issued a tornado watch for my area. You'd never guess it from yesterday's weather. It was sunny and beautiful, with no hint of bad weather. But we're supposed to have rainy weather for the next couple of days, and it's supposed to get cold and windy.

:bday: Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday to me... :bday:
