Notes - obviously / par / Grandma Story 7 genealogy work /

         You awoke later and had an arthritic condition. Breakfast of cereal and a banana as you read the morning paper. Yesterday’s paper and two Discover magazines you read last night. You both watched “Manhattan” and enjoy the character intensity very much. Carol was watching a show or two of hers this morning when you got up mid-morning. Awaken by Jadah this morning (with cold ears and paw pads) and last night a couple of times. You did your exercises for forty-five plus minutes this morning then took a hot bath to relieve the arthritic pain. Carol is curled in a blanket asleep on the bed. – Amorella

         1200 hours. I need to focus on Grandma 7 today. Mostly it is a matter of putting the generation order into sentence and paragraph form; however I could almost take a nap myself.

         Grandma Seven will come together today. Tomorrow Pouch Seven. – Amorella

         1203 hours. You can declare this obviously but whether it will come to pass is another point.

         Post, boy. - Amorella


         You could not resist any longer and checked BookBaby to see if there have been any sales in the last month. Tah Daa! None. – Amorella

         1220 hours. Par for the course. It is my wish to keep a low profile and I am getting my way. I glance at things on the Net all the time but I ‘like’ very few and I buy even less. People are not that interested and most don’t have to time or inclination to read, particularly one constructed a bit unorthodox. I don’t take this personally. Shoot. I was going to buy a copy myself and haven’t got around to it.

         Ah, the truest of your feelings. Post. You are a lazy man, orndorff- Amorella

         You had a late lunch at Panera on Mason-Montgomery Road, stopped by Kings Toyota to see about a cleaner for the interior leather. Then once home you called Joseph Toyota and said that you are covered and to call X-? and file a claim; they that they would be out to fix the problem at your house. Kings said to apply soap and water, which you tried to no avail. You are ever hopeful here, Carol not so much. – Amorella

         1734 hours. We have had a rather laid back day and I have not yet focused on Grandma 7.

         You had a snack supper and watched NBC News, “CSI”, “Blue Bloods” and ‘Ray Remington’. You cleaned the litter boxes, swept the kitchen and bathroom and the TV room. Tomorrow you will sweep the rest upstairs and down. Ellie’s is lying on the footstool and on your calves while you begin work. Spooky is upstairs in the bedroom with Carol and Jadah, we don’t know where she is at the moment. – Amorella

         2142 hours. I’ll have some focus time shortly.

         You have written some 520 words explaining the genealogy. And, though you have not completed Grandma Seven you are on the way.

         2302 hours. This is pretty complicated Amorella. I will need to simplify this for the reader. I write it as I see it, a genealogy but there must be a better way in storytelling. This is almost as bad as using A and B begat C and C and D begat E. Plus, I need more time to make sure I have set this down correctly and more importantly, that I have the genealogy correct with what’s in the stories.

         Tomorrow, orndorff. Post. – Amorella

         Here’s the first draft of ‘genealogy’.

Draft Work on Grandma 7 Genealogy:

            Before we go further half way though the book is a good place to refresh Grandma’s Story genealogy. Criteria and Renaldo are married in Greece in 585. The couple takes refuge in Scotland thanks to cousin Queen Igraine who title them Lord and Lady. They have a son, Thomas twelve years later, the very year Augustine becomes Archbishop in 597. In his older age Merlyn helps Thomas survive a life threatening illness soon after Thomas’ birth.

            Lord Thomas marries Lady Hilda, an Anglican from Northumbria in 622. In 679 eighty-two year old Thomas with wife Hilda sit at the family dinner with their 49 year old twin sons Jacob with his wife Ruth and Judah with wife Anne. Jacob and Ruth have two children Duncan and Sarah. Judah and Anne have two boys, Joseph and Daniel. The children of both twins are in their late teens or twenties.

            Judah and Anne and their children stay on at the estate in Scotland to raise sheep for a tidy profit. Lady Hilda returns to Northumbria after the death of Lord Thomas and Jacob and Ruth take their children to help run one of their mother’s estates in northern England. Lady Hilda wants her grandchildren to keep the money in the family.

            Sarah develops and strong alliance with her Hilda, her grandmother after hearing Jacob and Ruth were murdered by Viking raids in 783. Daniel and his wife Treasa were saved from the estate’s destruction. In order to survive Daniel and Treasa and their son Wilfred live in the Scottish Highlands as Vikings Frodisharg and Vigdisdottir. They took with them some possessions, the most important old oak table where Grandfather Thomas once sat and learned from Merlyn.

            Sarah and her husband Robert have two sons, James and John in Northumbria. When Robert dies she sells the land and sheep she inherited from her Grandmother Hilda. By 941 James’ son Madison is 53. He married Shandy. Their son Lyndon and his young wife Daisey have their first son, Ackley. The brothers inherit the money and head to Pucklechurch to live.

            In 941 the Scottish side of the family, Daniel and Terasa’s son Wilfred and his wife Daria, who lived in Glasgow and had a granddaughter named Dana who is helping to run the expanded family business, Enterprise. Dana’s husband Douglas was killed in battle in 936 and left Dana and her grandmother Naime to raise the two children, Cory, five and Tully, four. Both love to play under the old oak table.

            By December 1066 Scarlet is 46 and she is the widow of James the son of James, Sarah’s son. She is writing a letter to Wanda her mother-in-law who is married to Sarah’s other son, John who is 80.

            Scarlet has a son Seaton who is 22 and has a wife Dallan, 19. They have a daughter Aida.

            In Scotland, Vendela, 44, is the widow of Dane. Vendela is Cory’s great, great granddaughter. Her father was named Palmer. Vendela has a recklessly living daughter Luella, 15 who will eventually inherit all Vendela’s fortune. A selection from four hundred years of generations from Criteria and Renaldo.
