Yesterday and Today
Sep. 24th, 2006 12:32 pmDespite the rain earlier, we're going to go to Bake Oven Knob for the HawkFest. We bagged the Celtic Classic - you know, we were really spoiled by the regularity of the Greater Bethlehem Scocer League - practice, then a game, every Sunday during the season. This area's league changes practices and games on a whim. Yesterday's game miraculously appeared on top of our scheduled event. By the time we got situated from that, it was too late - Brandon went down for a nap, and five minutes later Rachel got back from the game. We waited a little, and then discovered all of my jeans were in the dirty laundry. By the time that laundry was done, it was a good time to wake up Mr. B but too late to bother heading down to the fest.
Justin and I entered names in the family tree instead. After adding another 41 today, we are currently at 3043 people, and we're only a third of the way through a listing of the descendents of Jacob Walter, which includes the McFadden/Coast/Ghost families. Really wanted to get to the Celtic Fest, as they have clan tents - I was curious to see if Clan Riddell would be there - as well as some hearldry and geneaology tents (focusing mostly on Ireland) which might provide some info on the McFaddens, and maybe even find an attempt at a Warren coat of arms, most likely forgetting that the one-"crest"-per-family idea isn't quite the reality (not to mention that the crest is just a portion of the coat of arms.) I've seen the coat of arms of both the Mayflower's Richard Warren and Arthur Warren of Weymouth, and they both bear resemblence to Sir John de Varrenne's coat of arms, but they also have unique elements (Arthur's is a bit closer; bearing the same motto Tenebo - I Will Hold.)
