Yawn….
June 13th, 2008 | 
Author: Not much to blog about. I pretty much got it alllllll out yesturday. LOL…
I did want to post real quick and show you some pics of the kids fishin, as promised!
ohhhhh..
this is kewl here…
our family has been here since, well since it was settled. LOL..
The Smiths and Scotts actually were two of the founding families in Hopkins County. They helped build the town of Nortonville, if you can believe that. My grandmothers, great-great-grandpa *maybe another great in there, I lose track!* built NewSalem Baptist church way back then, and they trenched out, what is NOW Nortonville Lake. My cousin, Mrs Jean, still lives on that lake!
Anyway, I thought this would be neat to show you…
an early photo of the lake…
the lake was made in the early 1800s I think. Its listed as part of the property of a land deed I have so I know it was here in 1810. I also have papers talking about our Smiths/Scotts helping trench a lake on the land, so that would be THIS lake. Made in the early 1800s.
and NOW…
blah blah blah, right? As if you care about my family history. hahaha!
lol..
ok, I did make you a freebie though…
its that rectangle frame up there….
If we were REALLY good friends, I would PROBABLY tell you that those beads you see there, are going to be in my next grab bag. I’d only tell you that if we were really close. Otherwise, you wouldn’t even have any idea I’m working on a new grab bag.
You can download the freebie here
Please do not share my files. They are only free for a limited time and then they go into the bargain bin in the store. If you would like to share it, send your friends to my blog instead!
OHOH
if you notice, over on the bottom in my sidebar, I have the new DSO ROLL code. It links all the designers at DSO Blogs AND shows when their updated. If you would like the code to add us to your blog too, just let me know, I will email it to you!

GREAT photos girl! LOVE the frame!! Thanks much for sharing!! Too bad we are not good friends! I would sure be getting excited if I knew you were working on a new grab bag!! LOL
Thank you so much for this great frame!
Actually, I loved reading about your rich family history! It’s so nice to see people actually have information about their own history. I’d have to ask my mother about my grandparents full names, sad to say…
Those then-and-now pic’s are very pretty. And I was already admiring the frames, and then saw it was a freebie! Yay!!
THANK you SO much!!

Oase’s last blog post..I hate coming up with titles can never think of one.
WOWsers, how cool to know your family actually created this lake. Its stunning and you know what, I love hearing about the family history. I’m pretty proud that my great great grandfather was one of only two surviviours of the Great Eliza Fernely Lifeboat Disaster here in my home town many eons ago. His picture hangs in our town library. Pretty cool huh.
Love the goody Bunny, gotta have it for my stash. Thank you sooooo much.

Boo’s last blog post..Hey, I can see again…..
I DO like to read about your family and I LOVE what you did w/ the pics. How cool the way you compared the then and now. I’m still going to acknowledge your award for me… I’m still real tickled about this. Thank you for your lovely frame, this will be VERY useful to me.
PS – your site is so neat Bunny, how did you do your stitches so cool??? HMMMM?
I really like all the photos, and hearing about your family history. I am very into genealogy and trying to work on my families and hubby’s. I don’t have many photos or documents, but purchasing some here and there. How great to have a deed! Thanks for the cute frame!
Love the frame! Wonderful photo of the lake then and now!! I love to see things like that and hear family stories. I wish I’d have asked many more questions when I was younger!!
