First Blog- What to Blog About...

Well, here goes... my first blog. Ideas for Project1. I am struggling with coming up with Ideas on what to write about. I have several interests, and I wonder if any of them are worthy of the scope that this project requires. Obviously, the most life altering aspect I have experienced recently was adopting a golden retriever puppy. While she is a sweetheart, there is so much that I feel I could learn on her care. I am also looking into gardening and tree care, as our backyard is in sore need of some intervention from a person with a green thumb! I am also hoping to travel to revisit Ireland, and to travel to Scotland to possibly determine the background of my paternal great-grandfather. But this topic is rather heady and full of intense research...still, it could be a possibility. A more feasible topic would be to find out about my grandfathers experiences during World War II. He has always been secretive about his experience, and about his childhood, but during our last conversation he mentioned the elementary school he attended. I would love to contact them and see if they have any old year book photos, maybe even an old address. I was also thinking of contacting a cousin of mine who is very into geaneology, and worrking with her to find out more about our heritage. I am still debating on my Project 1 topic, as you can see. I will keep you updated!
