My brother and I have been tracing our people back

My brother and I have been tracing our people back several generations, mostly to England and Scotland. One line came to Plymouth in the New colonies prior to 1640!
🌊
We thought our Scottish roots stem from Paisley based on a will that mentions his father's birthplace. But I'm finding some conflicting info that indicates Hugh Fraser was actually born in Kilmorack, Inverness-shire. Lovely place, Inverness. I rather hope the new sources are right because the area felt oddly like home when I was there. (Also, based on the spelling inconsistancies of names in the will I'm not sure old George Hugh Frazier/Fraiser/Fraser would remember in his late nineties precisely where his father Hugh was born.) Other family lore claims he was transported at a very young age as an indentured servant in 1715 or so.
The dates are mildly impressive (we are quite firmly American!) but I'm mostly interested as a storyteller. Also seein the names follow the generations is curious.

Some shots of the #grandlake⛵ area, including some that were likely burned. The first is the view off our deck. We will go up later in the week to check the house. The #EastTroublesomeFire is not finished yet, though.

Update: # easttroublesomefire We are safe. Getting tons of texts and emails :) Still very worried for the town of Grand Lake and our home there but so far it is intact. Rumor has it from scanner chatter that Grand Lake Lodge burned but I can't find confirmation. Waiting to hear local friends are ok (mobile towers are down) and to find out about friends' houses. Lots of people up there already struggling from Covid and now this. I'll put a donation link in my bio. Even a few bucks helps.

I did add a filter to show how the light dropped within a half hour. This is a close approximation of the sky over Boulder.

Not gonna lie, I miss my writing friends. I miss conventions and conversations and readers and cosplayers. I miss learning things on panels where I am supposed to be an expert. I miss the varied, creative points of view. I miss taco dinners with friends and chats over wine with my agent and commiserating at dinner with agency-mates. I miss meeting editors and learning about forthcoming stories and books and hugging online friends for the first time. I miss hanging out in whiskey infused hotel rooms and con suites until the wee hours talking about everything and nothing.
🥗🌮🍻🍷🥃
At least I always have a small part of the writing industry with me. Books for a writer are like having your friends at your back, challenging, encouraging, inspiring, and intimidating. I'm fortunate to have the books but I do so miss all the people behind the stories.

Got some #pumpkins happening in the house! and mulling over the redo of the shelves and new fireplace before our carpenter retires! Shiplap interior with rustic stained floating shelves set behind the brick, new simple/rustic mantle, and lighting.

People always laugh when I mention I don't really like people but really, they don't laugh *nervously* enough.

Johnny Rotten starting to look a lot like he's about to warn Harry Potter not to go looking for Sirius Black.

A wee story.

My great grandma Carrie was rather mean and manipulative.
When her sister died, leaving 2 children, she set her sights on g-grandpa, writing letters to her other siblings how she was doing *everything* with the little nephews.
