I Love Indexing!!

I have been indexing whenever I have a few minutes and I really think it's fun. The other day I was indexing on the 1890 census from Illinois. I got a sheet with a head of house as a woman about 45 and then it listed about 10 white women between the ages of 18 and 24 as borders. I didn't really think anything about it until I moved over to see what their occupations were. I assumed they were students or something....they listed their occupations as....Whore. Crazy. I went a little further down the page and soon there was another head of house as a 50ish woman who was black and she had about 10-15 black young women who were borders. You guessed it they all had occupations as WHORES. They were just a few houses apart. I thought it was pretty crazy and I typed a bunch faster. I thought if anyone needed a little help getting their names and information ready to do temple work for them these ladies were it!! Very Interesting!!

Halloween!! We had so much fun. Luci and I went to KC's class to help with the party. I brought foam pumpkins to decorate and then we watched the costume parade at the school. Right after school we all loaded up and participated in our favorite Halloween tradition. We went to Daniel's office and trick-or-treated all of the offices. The kids love this. Daniels company goes all out. Everyone dresses up and decorates. They turn out lights and have cobwebs hanging from the ceiling. The kids came home with their bags COMPLETELY full. Once we got home the girls went knocking doors with the neighbor girls and Brian went out with a bunch of his friends. Finally, we went over to my sister Jana's house and had meat pies (ala Sweeny Todd - the edited PG-13 version)!! Good Fun! Mom always gives a dollar bill to everyone of the kids, even the married ones. Tradition!!
