Hall Chronicle
First, I have to confess that I have no photos to post that haven't already been posted by other family members. In other words, every photo I have on my computer has been given to me by family who have a digital camera. But that is about to change. Betty's and my digital camera is on its way. We ordered a Canon Power Shot A-620. That's a 7.1 megapixel. Our friend Tim Geysbeek was here last week doing interviews and he had just got one and it seemed a good choice. Later than most everyone else, but finally stepping into the age of digital photography. However, we've not always been the last to get things new. We were among the very first to buy a rotary lawn mower. Uncle Oliver hired me when we were doing pre-field ministry to go out to Nigeria, and living in Uncle Clyde's house in Lanesboro, to mow the entire cemetery in Lanesboro. So I bought one of the early model, 2 cycle engine, mowers from Sears. Later sold it to my brother Dave when we went to Africa. Will we be not the first among all people, but the first in our family to buy a hybrid car? I don't have great confidence in battery powered equipment, but it is surely tempting. It would appear that Toyota's product has been well tested and its reliability well established.
Recently finished reading "The Royals" (England's "royal" family) by Kitty Kelley. Yes, yes, I know she has a reputation for digging up all the dirt. Well, she certainly has in this book. How wise our many, many ancestors were to leave it all behind back in the 1600 and early 1700 hundreds. The Halls, Wheelers, Pages, Wellmans, Carsons, Lees, Carswells, and so forth. And later to shake off the ruling hands of crazy old King George. What a circus they are! English are they? They're more German than English. Good grief, my family and I are MORE English than the Queen of England. But this I'll say, they're good for something...tourism.
