With 2013 almost over, everyone tends to start thinking back over the past year, while at the same time thinking about what they want to do in 2014. I’m not a New Years resolution person. Never have been. Probably never will be. Instead I tend to make a goal for myself somewhere along the way relating to a task or project, obviously with the aim of achieving it. While some of you might call that a resolution. Me, I just call it a goal. And it can’t be a “New Years resolution” as such as I don’t do them at New Years either! 😉 So for this post, I’m taking a leaf out of Kenneth Marks’ The Ancestor Hunt blog, and have chosen not to do a “Best and Worst of 2013” type post as many have, but rather a modified version of it. I’m going to look back at a number of “firsts” that I achieved throughout 2013. ========================================= No. 1 FIRST FOR 2013 – Heirloom Blog My first ”first for 2013” started in January 2013, which was the beginning of Memorabilia House blog. I created this with the idea of recording my family’s heirlooms and the stories behind them. My family has been fortunate enough to inherit nearly ‘everything’ from at least one side of my family, and as such has a house full of ephemera and heirlooms, I thought it should be catalogued. So that is the purpose of this blog. To catalogue items that our family has, and note the significance of them. And I chose to do this as a blog so my wider family can also see what we have, together with others who might find connections. ========================================= No. 2 FIRST FOR 2013...
