A Meme of Checkmarks
It's been awhile (maybe over a year?) since I've done an actual written post, so here is at least a meme instead of just pictures:
From an old GeneaMusing's post:
1) A "Bucket List" meme went around Facebook several years ago where you put an "X" in the box if you have done it!
