Re: Saturday June 14th
Good Morning Ladies.
Nice to see us moldy oldies returning! We need Yogi here too! OK, Lori you said about Bluff the other day....do you happen to know if she is alright with the flooding and such? Everytime they say Wisconsin I think of her.
So I have a funny/weird story for you. I never knew my Grandpa's side of the family....he grew up about 50 miles south of here, but I did know that at one point he had a brother that lived about 10 miles from where I live now.....actually it is the next town. When Kevin and I started dating, he told me he knew a guy from that town with the same last name as me, but a slightly different spelling. So I have been wondering and wondering if he is my cousin. I even went as far one time to finding out where the guy worked and called there for him, but he no longer worked there. Earlier in the week I was reading the youth section in the paper and it had results from the age group one over Jess....there was a girl with my maiden name spelled different, so I assumed it was that guys daughter. My friend has a girl on that same team so we were making plans to go to the field today as they have a home game. So last night I was telling all of this to another friend of mine when one of the mom's was listening to this too, and she says "thats my BF's last name". So I ask if her DH is Curt and she says yes. I then ask if his dad is John, so she texts and we find out yes, then I ask if his Grandpa is Durb, she texts back yes. Unfortunately, they were leaving for vacation last night, but they asked for my phone number and are going to call me when they get back and she was also going to give the number to her MIL. I am sooo excited. I am really hoping now to find more info out my grandpa and where exactly he grew up, as these are things that I have never been told. Because of some bad things that had happened in the past, he lost touch with his brothers and they never reconciled before he died.
So anyway.....on tap for today is relay for life. I have to walk with the team at 9:45 and then at 4 this afternoon....just when thunderstorms are set to come through. Nice. I walk again Sunday morning at 7. Can you say A/P's?
Jilli.......I hope you have a blast tonight!!!!!
