It shows that there are 582 members in this group! With so many folks we ought to have some pretty good conversations. I haven't been too active for quite some time. Stepped away from the site for a spell.
Gonna have to check out the past posts to catch up.
I'd like to find out more about you guys (mid-western slang, sorry. Even though I've lived in Alabama for 15 years, I haven't really gotten into say ya'll).
I'll start: I enjoy a variety of different time periods in history. I studied ancient Rome/Greece/Egypt for many years. Had a period of time when I was studying Native Americans. I am a bit of an Anglophile and will be spending a bit more time studying Britain during the Roman times and afterwards. Love doing character studies of the Founding Fathers/Mothers of the American Revolution. That is just the tip of the iceberg.
Next!
I also look forward to the conversations in this group. I love history. I joined the group because, growing up, I had a fascination with Ancient Egypt, and I was convinced I would be an archaeologist/Egyptologist when I grew up. Unfortunately, I haven't, but I still find that subject fascinating. The history of the British Isles is also something I've started looking into, especially linguistics and Old and Middle English.
