Welcome to the Curlew Keep Web Page

Home of Dianne and Bryan Bremner

In 2001 we both retired and moved to Republic, Washington where Bryan grew up an where we owned property on Curlew Lake.  Our first post retirement project was the construction of a new home on the lake.  Our home is very non-traditional, it is technically a partial torus monolithic dome.  We have quite a number of pages of text and images describing our experiences.

Web page for our new home, Curlew Keep.

News Flash:  Our home just made the top 25!  http://www.monolithic.com/domesinnews/2007/10oct/incredible/index.html

If you would like more information on monolithic domes in general please check out the web site for Monolithic Domes, Inc.   We have been featured on their web page but since they can change their page at any time there is no guarantee that they will still have us there.

Our home is not yet finished but we are living in it and enjoying it.  Unfortunately for our completion speed, we have gotten involved in a number of other activities.  Some of these are documented here, some are not.  Those documented are listed below.

Book Reports.  What has Bryan been reading?  If you are a first time visitor you may want to read my ground rules before continuing.

New Book Reports.  New Format, newly read books go here and as I get time old books get moved over.

Politics.  I am getting somewhat involved, this is what I think about it.

Extra stuff, some political, some not.

Ancestors:  Three test possibilities:
    1.  Ancestor Report  Pick an ancestor and follow his/her descendants.
    2.  Web Cards  Pick a starting point but all people are included, both parents and children.

3.   Since the genealogy program that I have does not include method of handling notes and pictures on the web I created a trial version.  You may try it out using this link.  It works by presenting the names of families (last name) and when you select one you get a list of first (first and middle) names.  Under each - that I have completed) there are three possible links, Photo, Family, and Notes.  Photo's are primarily individuals with possibly another person.  Family means family photos, they are generally located with the oldest Bremner male in the picture.  If you disagree - please comment.  Notes are any comments related to the person.  Currently I have only inserted a few pictures and notes.  These are primarily in the records for my close relatives.  I will slowly add more as I get the time.
