Heritage Hop, Skip, and Jump Vay-cay: Day 6

August 14, 2012

Just kidding!  We’re home.  It was a long drive, but despite that, it seemed to go by too quickly.  I think it’s because I had so much ‘family’ with me.  Let’s see, it was garbage day here, but . . . we’ve been gone since the last garbage day so there was no early morning task to do.

Instead, I prepared a report, of sorts,  for my mother and my siblings.  I had gathered quite a bit of new information about our ancestors that I thought they would all enjoy.  After all, it’s really telling new stories and I love stories.  I made copies of everything I had and got the envelopes in the mail to everyone. 

I still like that some stranger recognized my connection to my Luxembourg family because of my resemblance to someone whose been dead for a long time.  I emailed the photo to my siblings and my sister said, “Yup!  You do.”  I dunno.  I think I need a new dress in that case. 

The thing is, I see Angel and a younger version of my mother in that face, too.

Goodnight and I have just been resting today.  I guess the cemetery hiking, the harbor walking, and the festival caught up with us.  We spent the afternoon baking cookies and then watching a movie together. 

Later this evening, I have a date to follow the hint I read on someone else’s blog.  I won’t name names, but I’ll just ‘dance’ around with a hint.  She had a half glass of wine next to her as she typed a blog post.  ;-)
