It is still ME!

I was at my writing group, today and several people said that they weren't sure that this new look was my page. Sorry I've been mentioning it on Facebook and didn't think to say here that I've changed the look.
Let me know what you think.

Bye for now,
Lilian

    You asked for suggestions so here goes: How about adding a link to your website on your pages menubar. Another suggestion is to narrow in your left sidebar (I can show you how to do these thing when we catch up or I can make a short video and put it on Youtube.

Someone has already done a great deal of research into this family and I found it on Ancestry. I haven’t looked at it fully because I didn’t want to be distracted, when looking for you. So William Nathaniel Vaughan, born 1843, to Henry and Charlotte. You are their third child, second son and the second child to live, well done.

The design that we use, today was invented by David M Smith of Springfield, Vermont in 1853. This was done with a small spring, wedged between interlocking wooden (or now plastic) prongs. In 1887, Solon E Moore improved the design, with what he called a 'coiled fulcrum', what is used in todays pegs. A wooden peg made from a single piece of wood. Sometimes called a Dolly peg. A wooden peg with the coiled fulcrum. Some of the plastic pegs, available today. So thank you to  Mr Opdebed,  Mr Smith and Mr Moore for the humble peg. Now the coat hanger; several people are credited with this ob...
