Ancestory.com introduced 3 cousins who hadn't even known about each other. My grandfather had 3 wives and mine was the last one. He had 21 children in total, my mother was his last child.

Now a descendant from the first wife and one from the second wife have come from New Mexico and Ilinois to visit. Ruth the great great grand-daughter is a professional watercolorist, she gave us all a lesson.

This is the photo we were all trying to copy. We didn't have time to finish but we came a long way and learned a lot.

She also brought Dan and I a gift of one of her original works of art. I framed it and hung it in the tiki jungle room next to the chair she had sat in during our reunion.

We felt connected and loved each other right away. We also had a son, a daughter and a husband at the reunion and those words apply to them as well.
