Your life is the most important thing in the world to you. You only live once. The things you do, even if they are boring, are important.  If you put all your boring stuff on 1 post, and keep updating that post, you can keep from wasting reading it unless they go out looking for that boring post.  The act of forcing yourself to write, will help you realize what is going on.

Only "Merna Matheson" was on the birth certificate. Carlene was written in with an arrow to her name. When and where were you born? Cedar City Utah. Only child born in a Hospital. How did your family come to live there? Jon Sommers Higbee (Mom's Mom's Dad's Dad's Dad) was sent there, and his son: John Mount Higbee (Mom's Mom's Dad's Dad's) was 17 or 18. Sommers wife had died from exposure when they were kicked out of Jackson County. They were forced to sign over their property, to pay for the expenses of having the militia run them out of their house... I think John Mount Higbee met Mary Clark in Nauvoo Il, when they were kids. They were also in the same wagon train. One of the moms (Higbee or Clark) had a sick child, and the other family care...
