Happy Friday Afternoon Cousins! Well, I've certainly been quiet enough this week! :) However, my silent demeanor has been a productive one. Newly opened at the Homestead <http://www.crosswinds.net/~bowerhomestead> is our Ancestral Wall which you will find off the main hallway. You're certainly invited to "hang" your own ancestor's pictures here and perhaps have an inline cousin locate you. Also at the Homestead, the queries are updated. If you've placed one recently, please be sure to check your entry to make sure it's correct. And, at the Cottage <http://www.crosswinds.net/~bowercottage> you'll find our long-awaited certificates file begun. As with the Ancestral Wall pictures for the Homestead, submitting your own certificates may also help an inline cousin locate you. Pictures, certificates -- any data, should be sent directly to me <[email protected]> if you'd like to display it at the Homestead or Cottage. Along with all this comes a reminder ~~ at the Cottage I have an area set up where you can enter queries yourselves - no waiting for me to set them up. Once inside the cottage simply scroll down till you see the shells. The link for a queries entry is the first shell of the string. One other thing you may not have even been aware of: I set 4 trivia games up in the game chest on the balcony. If we don't use them, the site that supports those games for us will have me remove them. These are fun, mind-picking trivia games that take only minutes to play but, if you're not interested in a games chest at our "vacation" site, let me know and I'll fill that space in with something else. I just added those as a mind diversion which I thought you might enjoy. I hope you're all having a fantastically fun Friday! :) Colleen
