Hello! It’s me again

Another random thought, as I dig my way thru the genealogical graveyard.

Woods and Wallace, so sweet that 4 siblings married 4 siblings. Until you learn that they are all 1st cousins.

Voilà! I am explained!

Thank Hannah and Peter!

Just a random thought from the middle of nowhere

 I try to stifle myself much of the time. If you knew how truly bizarre I am, you would just back away.

I was listening to the song "Rock and Roll Heaven" by the Righteous Brothers, and the line "If you believe in forever, then life is just a one night stand".

Damn, ain't that the truth. 

Just kinda tweaked a nerve for me. What more is there?

BANG!!! BANG!!! BANG!!!

 Happy New Years Day!!!

I've decided to celebrate New Years Eve in one of my favorite small towns:

 To all of the friendly people I met in Charlottetown, PEI so many years ago!

It's 11 minutes to midnight. The excitement is palpable.

I can't wait!

Cheers!

And Auld Lang Syne and all that crap!

Happy New Years from Prince Edward Island!

Found the perfect ancestor.

                                            Sadly, she isn’t ours.

Silence Badd married Jonas Belcher.

Silence Badd Belcher. Was she predetermined to be a murderer? Did Jonas stop belching?

EUREKA!!!!

 Two short weeks later, I finally have an appointment for my biopsy. Thursday, October 7th (or something like that) I go to Loma Linda University Hospital – Murietta and then all the fun begins.

Been there, done that. Wasn’t an amazing thrill the first time around, and I don’t think it will be any more uplifting this time.

A week later, I have an appointment with my oncologist to go over the results.

I would love to say I am on pins and needles, but I’m not. I’ve seen the blood results. While it will be good to hear, one way or the other, I am not getting all Pollyanna here. As a wise man told me many times, “It is what it is.”

I’ll keep you updated!
