Learning Where You Came From Can Be Fun....

Today, me, my Grandmother and my Aunt LaDonna went to Durant, Oklahoma to visit our cousins on my Grandmothers side. The cousin we visited is our family historian and we had a great time learning all the things we didn't know before about our family like my Grandmother's Grandmother is a cousin to Cole Younger of the Younger Gang. We knew we were related but were unsure of exactly how. I am still trying to find the common link but I know that I will eventually find it!

There are twists and turns to the story and it is very cool to find out that our family history is quite sordid as well as torid. Full of love affairs, outlaws and prostitutes.

My Grandma and I joked about writing a book all about our soap opera family story.
Some day when I get the chance to put it all together I'll publish it online. it wil make good reading.

well i've had a very long day and I have to get up early.. so off I go to bed now.

God Bless !
