Meet My Niece & John~ :-)

I had the nicest visit today. Meet my Niece, Mary Jane, and her boy

friend John, that is Chippewa Indian.. Such nice people.. MaryJane

is my brother Kennys daughter she lives in Racine, Wisconsin. Ive

talked to her on the phone, but not met her. She came here to check

on her dad, she was worried, which she had every right to be...Hes

got what I have. Mary Jane is a CNA, and John drives truck..does

long hauls.. We had such a great time talking about everything and

I was so glad to know John is Chippewa..perhaps he can help to find

out about our heritage. She just got a new computer and is hoping

to do some investigating on her own. She also informed me she has

tons of photos of my mother, her gramma, that I would like to see.
Apparently she spent a lot of time with her and she has quite a bit of

stuff.. She plans to come back in a few weeks..
They drove here in MaryJanes new suv, its new to her, not a new one,

but she got a great deal..only 1000 for that jeep I think it is.. They stopped

at of ALL places my very best favorite restaurant, the Oasis, they had a

steak and cheese omlette with them for me.. I was VERY pleased!!!
They stayed for about 3 hrs or So, then are going straight back to WI.

Penny was here while they were, and after they left, Penny said..she looks

like YOU !.. I told her, I kinda thought so too.. well shes my brothers kid,

and hes ugly, no just kidding, but for her to look like her GORGEOUS

aunt..well what could be better for this girl? She is named after my oldest

sister, MaryJane, that passed away on my birthday 3 years ago.. She

has such a vibrant personality, you can tell by the photo.. John is very nice,

and I guess they plan to get married at some point..They live together, and

to me that is just as good as being married..She has another sister, I have

not met, named Tammy. Mary Jane has 3 children..and 6 grands... John

has 4 children..and 3 grands.. they are already a big family... :-)

It will be interesting to see what we can find out about our mother. John

being Chippewa.. he may have an inside edge to help us find out.. I would

love to know my real heritage.. I claim my adoptive parents ancestors as

mine, which legally they are.. I would like to know my blood heritage..We

know nothing at all about our father..only his name.. nothing else.. I would

love to know about him.. who he was for one thing.. if he had family.. We

think he was French Canadian.. but have no proof of anything.. We only

know where hes buried.that tells us nothing.. I wish I had that Ancestry

. Com thing.. its expensive and I just cant swing it.. 150.oo for a year.. It is

worth every penny, but.. I just don't have any leftover Pennies ! ..and they

wont take this living Penny I have so..:-)..I don't think she'd go anyway

as a payment for me. :-) I would like to have it. My friend Julie in the UK

has it.. and looked up my mothers parents..and family..all were there..was

so nice to read that.. I just wish I knew if any family still there, I

would love contact. But I would love to find out about my birth mother and

father..My mother was one of 13 kids.. I would like to know more..

I got up early, I was awakened by a phone call from Australia..which I was

very glad to get.. My friend Blue's computer had blue screened on him a

few days ago and he called to tell me he had gotten a new one.. I was so

glad to hear that.. I know if mine went out with no back up I would be sick

I couldn't get here to post every day.. and I KNOW y'all would miss my

daily drama.. not to mention seein this GORGEOUS WEEBLE :-) Ive

been watching the prices on a lap top.. when they come down maybe by

then I will have enough saved that I can get one.. Then I wouldn't have to

worry about that anymore.. THAT would be a big relief...

I didn't eat all my omlette and I am going to go and finish it.. It came with

hash browns..which are a fav too.. It was a good day today..We are all

clean and I had a wonderful visit with my neice...It was a good day..well

worth getting up for.. But now Im SO ready for it to be over.. Im really

tired.. I have NO plans for tomorrow.. so it will be a lazy day .. I HOPE..

Mary.. I have NO idea what has happened to your card and the surprise

I put in it.. so I will send you another my dear friend, so watch your mail

again.. What happened to the other I Have NO idea..so I hope this one

will get to you.. Time to post , eat, and knit.. and say "Nitey Nite"... :-)

Life is good.. Im happy today... :-D

Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear? love ya..and THANKS !!! :-)

Always, Lois ****
