The Bristol Family Eclipse Experience (Plus Colorado)

My family just got back from a week+ trip to see Monday’s total solar eclipse. Since we had to drive so far (Arizona to Wyoming), and you never know if Mother Nature will cooperate, we wanted to see some people and places along the way. Then, if for some reason the eclipse was a bust,...Read More

Family History Photo – One

I have a plethora of family history items in storage tubs that I haven't had the time to archive yet, but I'm fortunate to also have plenty of digitized photos of my family on both sides.
