Mauget Newsletter, Mothers' Day, May 9, 1999

"You see, Red? First he couldn't get it started, now he can't get it to stop." -- Jules Jean Mauget III knowingly commenting to brother Louis E. (Red) Mauget Sr. about a boatman that had finally coaxed his boat to roar into life on Silver Lake after pulling on the starter for 20 minutes.
Your Wandering Webmaster
I'm still traveling. Since the beginning of the year, I've been to San Francisco, Germany, and Rochester, MN. At each place I visit a group of IBM software developers and preach about what to put in their products to get ready for Microsoft Windows 2000. My wife, Carey, and I also took a driving vacation to Florida from here in North Carolina.
During the Rochester trip, I made a side-trip to New Ulm, MN to visit new (to me) relatives from my mother's branch of my family. This family history stuff is fun -- especially with new technology such as CD-ROM, scanners and the Web.
I have one more tip planned: to Dallas, Texas for 8 days at this end of the month of May. It will be our anniversary, so I'm taking Carey with me.
Moving
Carey and I have been fixing up our home of 20 years for sale. The last 10 years were hardest on it because of the wear of teenagers (three rock bands have practiced in our basement), and later neglect when Carey and I ran away every weekend to a wide river in Eastern North Carolina.
We were able to make the house look so good by April, that I wanted to stay. It sold in four days. We're now slowly storing possessions that we don't use day-to-day (So why do we keep them? They are family history, books, etc.). We've already had problems. Yesterday all cookbooks went to storage. Today Carey needed a recipe for something she was cooking for Mothers' Day. Yup, she cooks her own Mothers' Day feast.
The move will be in June. We're moving from an upscale house on a 1.5 acre lot to a simple tract house in Durham. The good news is that it's on a lake, so we can pass on visiting the Pamlico River, although we plan to go there next weekend for about the last time.
New Pictures
Neoma Mauget showed me an album with pictures of our parents, aunts, and uncles when I was in Spokane last June. Her brother Mike scanned them into the computer. Neoma sent some of them to me. I have put part of the bunch on the site. Some are of graves and cousins. I plan to combine these with other material and create a couple of new pages.
Close
We'll do this again after the move. My computer "den" will be above the new garage.
Cordially, Louis E. (Ed) Mauget, [email protected], May 9, 1999
