I’ve been more wordless than usual these last few days, so this is fitting. Life’s a bit crazy; when it settles down, I will be back to regular blogging, never fear.

Shaky Leaf Syndrome

Shaky Leaf

-Noun Phrase.

Often strikes the unwary wandering the wastes of Ancestry.comLand. Can be cured, but difficult to separate fact from fiction without headaches. To be avoided at all costs.
