Until?

Right.

You just never know!

However, have had some good come of this and that is finding my solitary 1st cousin in Texas. He's a real nice man and he had ancestry.com send me a DNA test kit! I just sent it in in fact. He mentioned that my old grandma sure looked Native American. I told him I thought so too and that she was sure pretty. He agreed!

I am sending him some CDs of music he likes. We've found we have many things in common and are swapping music and stuff via the mail but no money is changing hands.

I'm glad I found him and he is glad he found me too!

However, our relationship began a couple of years ago and has transformed slowly but we do like each other.
