Mail

In the mail today was my Family Tree Magazine Shop order.  2 magazines from November and December and a CD of all the 2007 issues.  I feel like all I want to do is learn learn learn but I'm not getting any research done.  I'm wanting to take online classes and webinars but it seems like I'm putting off the actual research.  Maybe I just don't know what to do first.  One of my new year resolutions should be create a research plan and use forms such as plans and logs to move my research along. Hmm  I think I'll think about that more.  But now to dive into my new magazines.
Courtney said she bought me a subscription to Family Tree magazine for Christmas.  I'm so thrilled.
