Yesterday I did one of my infrequent checks of the URLs on the "Links" page of my genealogy website. Before long I'd found seven broken links. Using Google I was able to find new addresses for two of the seven. At that point I decided to procrastinate on the newly discovered project. A long time ago I learned that there's a price to pay for sharing links to the websites of others. It's fun to share, when they work, and not much fun when they don't.

The flowers in today's photograph are in our backyard. This year because of frequent rain and because Melva did lots of transplanting in the last year the garden show has been the best we've had in all the years we have lived in his house.
