ANCESTRY

Steven and I took a couple weeks vacation and headed to Va. to see Mama & Daddy.  However, we had a little detour off I-95 at Selma, NC, which is the birthplace of my Daddy.  We got a call from Daddy's cousin, Harvey Edwards, (known to family as "Tink") and he asked if we would stop in for a quick hello as we passed by on our way.  He was very considerate of our eleven hour driving day and did not want to detain us long, so we met at Wendy's for a frosty and chatted for a short while.  I had not seen him since 1985...a long time.  He and his sister, Bonnie filled us in on Dad's remaining cousins there in Selma and he even sent some pictures with me to give to Daddy, so thoughtful.  It is amazing to look at the picture below and see my great-grand parents and my granddad (far left) that died when my Daddy was only eight.  Good to look into the eyes of my past, even if only in a picture.  Thanks Tink!
