Hello, Gordon....I want to wish you a verrrry HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! It's nice to know that there's ONE person who's older than I am!!! Hope you will have had a great day!!! Friends, Joan

Yeah, I have been a bit busy. Husband got laid off first week of January and we're both still looking for jobs. My youngest son was treated for cancer (non-Hodgkins Lymphoma...the treatable curable kind) from the end of August to the end of January, and mu mom had breast cancer (treated and in remission both of them). I was carrying my cousin Sam to his drs and chemo appt's until his drs said there was nothing more to be done. He died first week of December. And I'm still taking care of the farm for my great-aunt. If she'd pay me for it, it would be a decent job and one I like to do.

Gordon, glad to be your friend. I also have many ties to England. If you look into my "album" you will meet my grand-dad from Sussex, and my grand-mum came from Chelsea in London. I have one cousin nr. Southampton, now. Belong to GenesReunited site, although am not all caught up on the genealogy. More later, as it's late here, & I need my so-called beauty sleep!!! Joan

HI, Gordon...I did get your message, & I guess I got you confused with I think "Ranald". However, I do know where Tasmania is, as I've read a book years ago about it, all I can remember is it was a guy, & he lived there. I've had pen friend in New Zealand, & have one (female) in Melbourne, OZ, who is the closest to me via letters, if you get what I mean? I have been impressed with some of your postings, & your color pic is quite fine... What ancestory are you? I am half English/ half Scot,Irish,German,poss. Spanish, poss.French. What a mix! You sound as though you were born in 1938 (my observation), and I was born in 1940. However, you are now a Knight, & I am a mere Citizen!!! Write back, I'm curious. Joan Would you like to be my friend??

Hi Joan,
I'm in Tasmania (Australia)
Gordon
