Family History...?

Lisa and I have been having fun going through the new family search website. One of the best parts is finding people like Agnes Keith, who we found in Lisa's line. It turns out that Agnes had three children, all of whom died over a hundred years before poor Agnes was born!

She had 28 sisters named Elizabeth Boyd, all of whom were born and died in the same year, except for 5 of them, who born two hundred years before the others. One of them lived to be 180 years old! She almost saw her sisters!

The World of Man

I'm reading a very odd Indonesian book called Bumi Manusia. The plot is extremely confusing and I often sit up halfway through and yell something like "The whole thing would be better if the ninja had killed Minke!", which would make more sense if there really was a ninja in the story. Anyway, the story is pretty sad, and it made me realize- I don't like reading sad stories. I like happy stories.
