Advance notice: July 2016 DearMYRTLE Hangouts

DearREADERS,
July will be a wonky month with upcoming vacation plans. Mr. Myrt is taking me for our annual trip to Orcas Island. On the way back we will get to visit with footnoteMaven - yay! Cousin Russ is planning a visit with that new-found elderly cousin who has sent him many photos and some letters from his US Civil War ancestor. Sooo, to make things easier, I've created a single registration info page for the month of July 2016.

You may also check Myrt's Calender here for the listings in date order.

This is DearMYRTLE's favorite time zone converter:
