February 1935

Mon Feb 11.  Bought rug for our bedroom. But when dining room rug looked more worn, exchanged them. We used Golden Wedding money and $ 5.00 more. $ 30.00

Thurs 14   Charles and I drove to Ithaca for Farmers' Week. Saw Mrs. Roosevelt and like her very much. I had been strangely prejudiced against her. The next day Charles heard Gov. Lehman, and said it was a good sensible address. I enjoyed the exhibits, beautiful and historic dresses, table setting, ways of using canned meats. 

Sat 16   Edith took Eileen to the hospital soon after eight, and at nine she was operated on for appendicitis. They say the appendix was diseased and would have given her trouble. Eileen was very brave, acted more as tho she was going to school than to the Hospital. 

Mon 18  Malvern started work for the Climax Corporation which makes threshing machines and other machinery 

Fri  22   Eileen home from Hospital, pale and weak but all right

My Grandmother's Recipes - Sandwiches

   I recently received a set of recipe cards from a cousin that were written by out grandmother Evelyn Clara (Call) Hankins, probably between 1920 (when she married) and 1962 (when she died). My grandmother was born in Wichita, Sedgewick, Kansas in 1895. Within a few months of her birth, the family moved back to Stafford, Genesee County, New York where her parents, Charles Joslin Call (1859-1939) and Elizabeth Ann Coe (1862-1956) were born. Evelyn lived in Stafford on the family farm until she left for college, first at Northwestern University in Chicago and then at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. She graduated from Cornell in 1919 with a degree in Home Economics. After graduating, she worked for a year at Wells College in Aurora, Cayuga, New York, possibly as the Superintendent of a Dormitory, as a housekeeper or as a teacher. She married my grandfather, Francis William Hankins (1897-1963) in 1920 at her parents home in Stafford. Beginning in the 1930s, my grandmother ran the

Adding a Citation to a Document using Photoshop Elements 2023

This is the first is an occasional series of blog posts on using Photoshop Elements 2023 for genealogists. Many of my genealogist friends know I'm also a photographer, so have asked me how I do some things with genealogy-related images. The problem is - I use Photoshop and Lightroom - which are probably overkill for most genealogists, and are a subscription-based package. I used to recommend Irfanview (and still do for some things) but I was finding it hard to do some of what I do in Photoshop in Irfanview.  So enter Photoshop Elements 2023 - it has more features than Irfanview but isn't as user-hostile as Photoshop can be. And it's available for purchase as a stand-alone package - no monthly subscription fees! If you want to buy a copy of Photoshop Elements 2023 - I suggest purchasing it through Amazon using the affiliate link for Cyndi's List. I use Photoshop Elements on a Windows computer so my instructions are for the Windows version. Mac version may be slightly dif
