A good working day and I reached the end and added in the index. It is complete but now needs a good proofreading. The editing was done along with the indexing.
A few pictures of my line coming down from Elizabeth (Siderfin) Rew. A picture of her daughter and her husband John Pincombe and then a picture of their son William Robert Pincombe and his first wife Grace Gray and finally a picture of their son John Routledge Pincombe and Ellen Rosina (Buller) Pincombe my maternal grandparents. All in all I am pleased with the overall look but I can not say that it was my invention as one of my Rawlings cousins did his family tree about fifteen years ago and sent it to me as he felt I was interested in the family and he didn't want to do a writeup just the tree and it was in chart form the same as I had completed for the Siderfin book. I could have done far more research but I generally stuck to the principle of a one-name study and dropped the female lines after they married although generally mentioned their children which is fairly common to take it down one generation. However for my line I have taken it down considerably further as my 3x great grandmother was Elizabeth (Siderfin) Rew!
I also went out grocery shopping and drove this time as I wanted to get an entire order and this was my first time out with the car since the 28th of October. I have walked to the store every week since then and brought back fresh vegetables and fruit was very nice. Other times I brought back fresh milk and bread. It worked out very well and was good exercise plus I do not buy very much at any one time.
Today I will begin the proofreading and hope to complete this task in one week; I shall give myself that long as that would be just under 25 pages a day.
Up late today and sadly no snow. However, snow is now promised on Sunday. We will see. That will be the first day of December. I am sure I can scarcely remember a time here when we did not have snow fall that at least touched the ground by the end of November. Hopefully we soon get sufficient snow cover as last year was very hard on the plants and grasses with the minus 20 weather in December and no snow cover.
Teatime and then breakfast (perhaps reversed today since I am late) and then latin and the day begins in earnest. I have been trying to think of one more of Edward's charities that I could support and I think I will do the Food Bank as he used to give them almost half of our garden produce as we did not eat it nor did I can or freeze anything much after I went back to work outside the home plus he always gave them a donation. I will do that in memory of him on Christmas Day. I do not usually give at the stores or on the street although I guess it would add up over time if everybody did. I will think about that but you do not get receipts for $1.00 gifts of charity at the store and they do add up over time.
