Go grab a wall flower

First, the good news. Over 40 people have taken an active part in helping with this website by sending in information and commenting on other people’s information. The bad news is that there are 95* other people who we haven’t heard from yet.

Why don’t you see if you can get one of them to make a comment in the next week? If you want to know who has/hasn’t commented already, here’s a list.

If you want to help them out, here’s a list of the most commented on posts. Maybe they can chime in on one of these:

  1. Grandma’s Diary
  2. Updates from Danny
  3. Grandma’s & Grandpa’s Siblings
  4. Photo Friday: Porch Edition
  5. Photo Friday: Mule Edition
  6. Memories of Grandma & Grandpa’s House
  7. Who’s Who (1970 Edition)

*There are also 87 other family members who, for various reasons are not included in that count. Usually because they are too young to care about anything that old people write on an old people website.

Here’s another one from Aunt Elizabeth’s recipe book. Anne Miller sent this in. When you send a recipe in, send in a photo too.

Thunderbolt (Sauerkraut) Cake (I included this one, especially, because I think it sounds revolting and am interested if anyone in the family has eaten or currently makes it- blahk!)
1 pkg Duncan Hines Chocolate Cake mix- Not Devil’s Food
Follow directions on box for mixing
Add 1-3 oz pkg Instant Chocolate pudding- mixing well.
Rinse and drain and chop kraut (1 cup)
Fold into batter- Bake in oblong or (not sure what this word is) pan-

Grand Opening

by 12 Comments

Okay, maybe Grand is too strong a word, but it is definitely an opening. You’ll notice that things are still a little rough around the edges. Mostly, there are things that we wish we had time to do that we just haven’t. So be a little patient at first.

We have information that is incomplete. Dates that are wrong. Pictures that are copies of copies of copies. All sorts of things that my dad would yell at me for, except that there’s really no chance that he’ll ever read this.

What should you do first?

  1. Register. There are parts of the site that you can’t see until you register.
  2. Comment. Every article on the site is meant to be a starting point, not an ending point. You can write your first comment by scrolling down a little bit and just saying “Hi.”
  3. Get Involved. If you see a mistake, let us know and we’ll fix it. If you notice something missing, write it up and we’ll publish it.

There’s a HELP section that answers a lot of questions, and lets you ask new ones. There’s also a CONTACT section if you want to send in an email. All of the really interesting links are along the top of the page. Check them out…
