It must be interesting having a lot of cousins. I have only two. I’ve always been friendly with them, but they’re much older, so it’s mainly a Christmas card and what I hear from my mom.
It only takes one good play in the market to be set up for life, but most traders never hit the jackpot. We shall see!
I’ll have to ask Tom how Elen is. I assume we’d have heard if she suffered anything worse than boredom! Maybe Tom will be over again this weekend.
I used to think I was related to half of the town I grew up in. Come to find out, I’m related to half the county as well as towns from Mexico to Canada. One of my grandfathers had a wife in Canada and one in Mexico and each had ten kids who all lived. (This was after polygamy was abolished in the nation, but he already had the wives, and he couldn’t abandon either one, since the children were all his.) I’m going crazy with all the genealogical information I have to collect and distribute.
When I was growing up, we used to have family reunions and filled up the entire park, which was pretty hugh for such a small town (4,000 peeps) so I never new most of my cousins to spend any time with. Mostly by face, and then of course by name. “Oh! You’re related to the ....! Hiya, Cuz!” Kinda thing.
So yeah, I’m going to email him and ask him why. To be continued.
What’s happening in your neck of the woods today? Any outings? Or visitors planned? I’m finally answering some letters!
