Good morning everyone. I actually have something to post about today. Some of you may remember dh's family story from a couple of years ago. To refresh your memory, and for those who have joined since then, let me explain.
My husband is adopted. A few years ago he did one of those Ancestry DNA tests. He matched as a close relative with a young woman in Nebraska. She was also adopted and was looking for info on her bio family. She eventually found her bio father and he is most likely dh's half brother. It looks like dh has 3 half siblings. The girl's father has a brother and a sister. The 3 siblings didn't seem interested in finding out more, so dh didn't pursue the relationship. He does, however, keep in touch with the young woman who is probably his niece. She moved to Los Angeles and we met her there when we were visiting back in 2019.
What we do know now is that the man who was probably dh's bio father was a traveling salesman who had a history of cheating on his wife. One of his sons had a one night stand that resulted in the birth of the young woman. This is starting to sound like a soap opera.
Last night dh got an email from another woman who has matched as a close relative. Now get this - she was also adopted. Now dh is wondering if he possibly has another sister. This woman was born in North Carolina. Dh is from South Carolina. Both states were part of the traveling salesman's territory. Dh is going to write back to the woman today and see what he can find out.
Disxuni - Hi. Good to see you again.
Paris - I am very sorry to hear of your dh's grandmother's passing.
Today is day 5 of quarantine. I think I am feeling up to doing a little light cleaning around the house.
That is an amazing story Charade. Please keep us updated on what happens, and hope it`s a success story with new relatives hopefully coming together.
Glad you`re doing better.....agree with mac......housework can wait. But, I hear you.....I can`t stand mess and would have to do it.
I only use cheap vodka to make my own perfume and air freshener. It’s not good for much else.
Just took a fast 2 mile walk. I carry 10lb weights with me for some added benefit. Now to vacuum the rug, so that I can do my online yoga. Still don’t feel comfortable enough with our Covid numbers to go to the gym or yoga in person. No one wears masks at them.
Our leaves are turning brown, but it’s due to heat and not much rain.
@J'aime Paris So sorry about your grandmother. It sounds very peaceful though, we shiukd all be so lucky to pass this way.
@Charade67 Good to hear you are feeling better,
Yep, never drank cheap liquor/wine/beer ever.....not worth it. Oh the competition thing trying to find the cheapest products??......we don`t drink the stuff, we find them for a joke just to see who can get the worst offering......lol....
It`s getting common here now to see very few people with masks anywhere now.....I do think the leaves do look pretty at this early stage of autumn, but further in when they just look dead.....not so pretty.
@Disxuni almost missed you there......glad to see you post and hope things are good with you.......
Gorgeous afternoon here again. We are being spoiled with some beautiful early September weather and taking advantage of while we can. Another mini heatwave is forecast next week.....will look forward to another week of summer clothing.
Decided on grilled fish tonight, fish shack had some interesting catches today. Got some gorgeous white fish and mussels, so will make a butter sauce for the mussels and have it with the baked fish and green salad with some baked tomatoes. Looking forward to that.
It`s been lovely but you can feel that chill creep in around early evenings now. I love that too. We are lucky to have proper seasons here.
