Thursday I went with friends to Wichita for a concert at Chamber Music at the Barn. Great concert. Before was a dinner in the gardens. It was an Italian meal.
Friday was my usual Swedish group. I had a great talk with a member I share some family with. We both learned a bit!
Lunch was at Jalisco's. Ate alone. They were really busy so I got little attention from anyone. After lunch I met a friend at the White Peacock for coffee. She had been gone for a while so we had a lot to talk about! It was fun.
Saturday I got quite a surprise! A great one! I have had my DNA done 3 times. I do get matches but they are not close. But Saturday a second cousin and I connected. I had met her mom when I was a child but never heard much about her after that. This lady is her daughter. We talked for over an hour. I tried to take notes but need to go over them again with her. I was very close to 2 of the mother's sisters. When she answered the phone, she sounded exactly just like them! Wish I could meet her. She lives so far away!! But who knows!
Today was my usual family lunch at Jalisco's. Oh my the staff was sure in fun moods! I teased one of them and what a look I got!!! Another one drew something to show me. I sort of looked at it wrong and giggled for a long time. Good to have fun.
My brother and I went through a huge amount of things my mom had. All hand sewn pieces --- tatted, crocheted, cross stitched. They are made by my mom and her aunt. And several pieces were made by my great grandmother. The best were 2 pieces made in Sweden but my great grandmother's sister. Awesome.
Those are my photos and my neighbour's barn.
