Excitement

Two things happened yesterday. I found my birth mother and a half sister and brother. My sister is here visiting me and we have met for the first time. VERY exciting.


I was also able to buy one of Laura Kemshall's portraits of her daughter Amelie. I have hung it next to the work "Bluebell Wood" by her mother Linda.

    The two of you have a striking resemble. That seems like it must be fun for you but also strange...

    It is strange to see someone who looks so much like me.

    Wonderful for you, Beth! You two look so much alike - fun! And you look especially terrific, by the way.

      Thanks Cris. I am having so much fun with her. Unfortunately reality returns tomorrow and she has to drive back to Indiana and on to a new job starting Monday. Alas...

    Thanks Carmina. At 69 I had lost hope of finding my mother's side of the family but soon I had a huge family!!
