Susie To heck with the housework. lol ha ha Not really......... I do find the time to clean house, but would much rather being doing this. ha ha I'm fortunate enough to be a stay-home Mom. I do most of my work when the kids are at school, Kevin at work, or when they are in bed for the night. It's a therapy thing, ya know. ha ha lol Check out this poem I found. Cooking? Cleaning? I'd Rather do Genealogy! They think that I should cook and clean, and be a model wife. I tell them it's more interesting to study Grandpa's life. They simply do not understand why I hate to go to bed . . . I'd rather do two hundred years of research work instead. Why waste the time we have on earth just snoring and asleep? When we can learn of ancestors that sailed upon the deep? We have priests, Rabbis, lawmen, soldiers, more than just a few. And yes, there's many scoundrels, and a bootlegger or two. How can a person find this life an awful drudge or bore? When we can live the lives of all those folks who came before? A hundred years from now of course, no one will ever know Whether I did laundry, but they'll see our Tree and glow . . . 'Cause their dear old granny left for them, for all posterity, not clean hankies and the like, but a finished family tree. My home may be untidy, 'cause I've better things to do . . . checking all the records to provide us with a clue. Old great granny's pulling roots and branches out with glee, Her clothes ain't hanging out to dry, she's hung up on The Tree. by: Mel Oshins ----- Original Message ----- From: <SusieDent@aol.com> To: <OHWASHIN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, March 23, 2004 12:15 PM Subject: Re: [OHWASH] Washington Co.
