    Default It's such a small world - this is just too cool

    I met someone at fv (not going to mention any names unless she wants to) who was from the same town I was born in, previously married to a cousin of mine and knows my family. I'm delighted that this member's son in my great cousin and to know that I have a family member here. We've never met before fv because I haven't been back to my home town in over 25 years.

    Isn't that just the coolest thing going. I love it!!

    IT'S ME!!! Yep, I am the one. I don't mind at all, I think it is fantastic! I emailed homesteadmamma because she had mentioned in another post that she bought something on Pemina Highway. I know that it is Winnipeg and I have alot of family in Winnipeg. I also mentioned my hometown. We emailed back and forth and back and forth and yep! She was my ex-husband's cousin. I think it is soooo cool. I always thought she was a very special, caring, thoughtful lady and now I find out that she is related to my son!! How awesome is that!
