- Time on the Farm! Time on the Farm was written for the 73rd edition of the Carnival of Genealogy which was hosted here at Apple's Tree. All my grandchildren will have parts so they can experience farm life as I did. Nikki will get the lead because she loves horses. Mike will play the part of one of my cousins so he can fearlessly climb to the top of the tobacco barn. The part of my father will have to be played by my son, BJ, as he is the only one to have inherited Dad's bald head. We'll have to think long and hard on who should play the part of my step-mother. For the sake of the safety of the actors we'll need a pony that won't bolt and a cow that doesn't kick!

- Ancestry's Member Connect! This was written when I saw several negative posts on a feature that I was quite happy with. I'm pleased with the presentation I made and hope that it cleared up some points.
And that concludes this edition of the iGene Awards. I want to thank our hostess, Jasia, at Creative Gene for throwing out the Red Carpet again this year!

Apple, this was a great stroll down memory lane! There were many posts I remembered enjoying this year; it's hard to pick a favorite, but I really loved your post on Rose. Also loved the "Infomercial" addition - and I agree on Ancestry's Member Connect - it seems to be showing real potential. You can really be proud of your blog accomplishments in 2010!
Apple, as I read through I tried not to read the winners and see if my favorite posts made it. I was so cheering for Rose. It is a winner!
But I must disagree with the Infomercial (love the category BTW). The winner is Apple's Apple Butter. We in Washington know and love our Apples. And this means you!

Great posts. I liked the biographies very much, but I think my favorite posts (which in my opinion should've won!) is post about creating a blog index. That's definitely something I want to do in the near future.
