Since the end of 2017, I've been planning on doing a complete overhaul on this blog. I planned to redo the way I post the Individual Pages and Family Group Pages (which is why I stopped creating these pages, temporarily). I also planned to completely switch my blog over to Wordpress so that I could have plugin options. Have either of those two plans been fruitful??? The answer is no. Not at all. Not one bit.
I've indulged so much in the research aspect of this blog, that I'd been too caught up in it to share very much with all of you and I sincerely apologize for that.
Yesterday I sat in my accountants office trying to explain to him why I have so many expenses for this blog and what exactly it's all about. I didn't even have my blog set to public, so I could show him, because I'd been in the middle of the chaotic transfer I was trying to make to Wordpress. I realized I really needed to get on the ball and super pronto!
So after wrangling with my transfer to Wordpress for most of the day today, I decided that the grass was definitely not greener - I mean how can it be when I'd probably end up spending many more weeks trying to perfect it and further delay sharing anything with all of you?
Also, I'm going to keep the format I'm currently using, to post profiles. Yes, I try my darndest to line all the information up perfectly so there's some sense of uniformity, but once I click "publish", that information is zigzagging all over the place. That's something we're just going to have to deal with folks because time is of the essence and sometimes I ain't got but a few seconds to post stuff for you.
August is here and with it is a whole lot of heat and the bustle of preparations for the upcoming school year. I hope you're having a fabulous summer and that you enjoy every last moment you can with your families before the kids are off to school.
Happy researching!

I was raised with a love and longing for my Grandmother's New Mexican country roots, yet our Spanish and Basque origins have always been a mystery. Tracing the lineages and histories of our ancestors is a lot like the tradition of Harvesting Piñons - its an arduous task so you won't get there easily, you'll need guidance from those who know the land, and although it's a far reach to get to the best fruit, the nostalgia in the end is worth the toil.
