I came home from work today to a wonderful smell in the house. Nina was baking bread. There are few things that smell as good as bread baking in the oven! It was ready to come out shortly after I got home so I feasted on a large, hot piece of bread slathered in butter. That sure was delicious. Nina has made bread the past couple of weeks and home-made bread is just so much better than the stuff from the store. Great stuff.

I did manage to get quite a bit of stuff cleared away off my desk and put away somewhere else. I was noticing in my web server logs that a couple of files in the William P Smith collection were missing and fixed those broken links. That got me back into the genealogy mood once again. It’s time to redo the William P Smith web site and make it a lot more user friendly. There is more genealogy information available now than there was about eight years ago and all of that information needs to get into the website. It’d work a lot better served up from a database and generated on the fly rather than being static web pages that take a lot of manual maintenance. I think this could keep me busy for several weeks getting everything ready to be put into a new web look. And, of course, I’ve got all of the other family history stories that need refreshing as well. This could be fun. I haven’t visited with Becky Porter, the woman who put together the original collection in several years and I probably should get together with her once again and see what she’s found in the meantime. This will also be quite fun … and good!
