Quiet days

It is another summer passing over and as usual things quieten down.  I keep up with relatives and other genealogy contacts sporadically.  It is a matter of keeping the pot stirring - one never knows when some item might spark off something of interest.  I am exchanging emails with an 80 year old who is a related to  an employer of my great grandfather.  The unusual spelling of a surname and geography in common were enough to make the connection  when I came across her name in a historical website.  This employer has an interesting story that I am happy to borrow to weave into my family tree.
