I don't procrastinate on everything, mind you--only those things most guaranteed to screw myself over. When it comes to getting stuff done for everyone else, I do...and usually in a timely enough fashion. Meanwhile, stuff for myself inevitably falls by the wayside, but then that's Mom's Law, isn't it? You'll happily kill yourself to get things done for your friends and loved ones, even if it means sacrificing yourself every. single. time. For example:<br /><br />Got people coming over? The downstairs will be spotless for your guests while your master bathroom with the discreetly-closed door remains one mold spore away from become a pandemic outbreak requiring Hazmat suits and flamethrowers to clean.<br /><br />Did you volunteer to help do computer work in hobby communities? Because if you did, reorganizing the bookmarks on your computer is <i>never</i> going to happen now. Nor is dusting. Face it, the dust is now your asthmatic roommate.<br /><br />Have you been contracted to alter bridesmaids dresses and/or a wedding dress before someone's wedding? Then I guarantee you will be the one walking down the aisle with the raggedy, non-hemmed dress because no one is going to be looking at <i>you, </i>Cinderella.<br /><br />Is someone hosting a spontaneous bake sale and requesting dozens of your ubiquitous, go-to cookies? Well, you didn't need to make yourself a birthday cake anyway, did you? Stick a candle in the one burnt cookie you culled from the herd and have yourself a <i>par-tay</i>.<br /><br />Such is the life of the inveterate procrastinator, we who frequently rearrange our entire lives to help others or put off tedious tasks so long that neither they nor the things we <i>could</i> have been doing instead get done. Perhaps Jim Croce said it best: "There never seems to be enough time to do the things you want to do." That's why I still haven't finished curtains for three rooms of my house. Or why, ten months later, I still haven't gotten around to posting photos of my trip to Portugal...or updating my sewing portfolio. There's always something else that takes precedence, like meeting your 972 new relatives instead of getting your genealogy business going--as if that isn't the epitome of irony considering you wouldn't have found one without the other.<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQQ-SNAJJXtzV0u1PeHGH3VPimjammxrtYWUmiG4hT8OQl-bM1VyYQIvTReduVCcUUJyzMVtoF_Me-jVMH8cxhOU1JyDKSgLk1k-FYOeuTMsQ68dGDcWkT4s8_zUcsncz-lHarsBxH4C8/s1600/2019-04-01-145130-IMG_0003.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQQ-SNAJJXtzV0u1PeHGH3VPimjammxrtYWUmiG4hT8OQl-bM1VyYQIvTReduVCcUUJyzMVtoF_Me-jVMH8cxhOU1JyDKSgLk1k-FYOeuTMsQ68dGDcWkT4s8_zUcsncz-lHarsBxH4C8/s640/2019-04-01-145130-IMG_0003.jpeg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">Porto, Portugal, on the River Douro (there...one down, a hundred to go).</span></td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />How do we take the "pro" out of "procrastination?"

Mission accomplished, Dr. Jones...mission accomplished.Mary Stuarthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08193758516376835185noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7854799610785943780.post-6737306987182918222019-09-10T23:30:00.001-04:002023-01-05T16:23:55.118-05:00Labor (Day) of LoveTwo years. It's been two years today. No doubt we all have those watershed moments that mark a significant change either in the trajectory of our lives or in our understanding of ourselves and those around us. I'm no different. In fact, just this morning Facebook promptly reminded me of one such occasion: that exceptional moment two years ago when I confirmed that I had a half-sister with whom I shared a different birth father than the man I'd spent the previous 5 years trying to find. (The fact that this particular revelation happened only one week into a 15-week genealogy course still confounds me. I suppose you could call it beginner's luck or perhaps poetic justice; to me it just confirmed that choosing genealogy as a new career path was clearly destined.) That initial discovery proved to be the first of many unexpected revelations over the next two years, and was one which ultimately led me to the rest of my story (not to mention enough siblings to field a [women's] lacrosse team, but that's a tale for another day). There's no denying the last two years have been full of twists and turns and highs and lows but I really wouldn't change a thing because the last two years have brought me to a host of interesting new people and a far better understanding of myself.<br /><br />Honestly, I didn't want to believe it at first. And not because I wasn't interested in finding out more about my origins, but because the new facts I was suddenly given didn't quite jibe with the data I already had. I didn't understand how this new person could be my birth father when the guy I'd been chasing was the "right" age and in the right place at the right time. Moreover, I had DNA links to the guy's family tree! How could some much older dude in Texas possibly be my birth father?? Well, turns out that's one of the things about genealogy; if you're going to do it properly, you have to learn to reëvaluate your preconceived notions and step outside the box...or possibly even on top of it. The more I researched this new potential bio-father while waiting for DNA files to be uploaded to GEDmatch, the more I started to put the pieces together for how this new guy could be <i>the</i> guy. It took another year to be able to reconcile my DNA matches with Dad #1, but I eventually learned I was related distantly to him through my birth mother's family. Frankly, I wouldn't be at all surprised to further discover that both Dad #1 and Dad #2 were distantly related, considering both they and my birth mother were all descended from Hoosier pioneer families who settled in and around Indianapolis. (Is Hoosier-cest a thing?) Anyway, in due course the relevant DNA was uploaded and I was able to confirm I did indeed have a new sister and the true identity of our shared birth father.<br /><br />By the end of that year I'd learned of three additional new siblings (not counting the 5 born to Dad #2's wives), and a metric load of cousins. In fact, just this past Labor Day I had the inestimable privilege of attending a family reunion in Indianapolis with my sister Shan, where we met a third of our "new" cousins and their family members as well as the two living siblings of our birth father. I can't speak for my sister, but I felt like I'd come full circle--come <i>home</i>--at last. These new relatives were surprisingly gracious and welcoming in spite of my sudden appearance in the family and the complicated realities of my conception. They were curious (as well they might be). Many asked for my story and many shared their own (or at least parts of it), for which I was grateful. Over the course of the weekend I was asked repeatedly if I found the experience of meeting everyone overwhelming, but I truly didn't--at least not in the way they meant. Because I'd already interacted with most of them online, they weren't complete strangers to me--which certainly helped. The reality is I couldn't get enough of them. Of watching their expressions and mannerisms and seeing in those the echoes of my own. Of putting voices to faces and personalities to names. Of seeing cheekbones and smiles so very like my own. Of recognizing language phrasings and humor similar to my own. Of discovering so many musicians floating around. Of hearing my aunts' stories about their own youths and that of their siblings. My cousins and I may not have shared a common childhood, but we still share so many other things both tangible and intangible. (Genes don't lie!) I even reveled in watching all these new cousins reacquaint themselves with each other and with their aunts, most of whom had not been together in 30+ years. It was a glorious weekend all around, filled with love, laughter, and good food; I cannot thank my cousin Linda enough for orchestrating the whole reunion. Far from being overwhelmed, I only wish it could have lasted longer.<br /><br />I returned home last week with a new and deeper understanding of myself, as well as a deeper appreciation of my adoptive family.

The past 24 months have been more than worth it because now I know the rest of my story--both good and bad--and that's an amazing gift. For me, knowledge has always been power...if I can understand who I am, where I came from, and <i>why</i> I am the way I am, then I can use that understanding to surmount any obstacles that come my way. And that's no small thing.<br /><br />Besides, who wouldn't want even <i>more</i> family to love? In fact, one of the best moments for me at my daughter's wedding earlier this year was watching the adoptive family who knew me at my worst back in the day and the new birth family who didn't hesitate to claim me 50-odd years later all hanging out together and laughing. As I sat back and watched them all interacting, my heart swelled with joy to see the two separate pieces of my past coming peaceably together to complete the puzzle of my life.

It's been two years today. No doubt we all have those watershed moments that mark a significant change either in the trajectory of our lives or in our understanding of ourselves and those around us. I'm no different. In fact, just this morning Facebook promptly reminded me of one such occasion: that exceptional moment two years ago when I confirmed that I had a half-sister with whom I shared a different birth father than the man I'd spent the previous 5 years trying to find. (The fact that this particular revelation happened only one week into a 15-week genealogy course still confounds me. I suppose you could call it beginner's luck or perhaps poetic justice; to me it just confirmed that choosing genealogy as a new career path was clearly destined.) That initial discovery proved to be the first of many unexpected revelations over the next two years, and was one which ultimately led me to the rest of my story (not to mention enough siblings to field a [women's] lacrosse team, but that's a tale for another day). There's no denying the last two years have been full of twists and turns and highs and lows but I really wouldn't change a thing because the last two years have brought me to a host of interesting new people and a far better understanding of myself.<br />
<br />
Honestly, I didn't want to believe it at first. And not because I wasn't interested in finding out more about my origins, but because the new facts I was suddenly given didn't quite jibe with the data I already had. I didn't understand how this new person could be my birth father when the guy I'd been chasing was the "right" age and in the right place at the right time. Moreover, I had DNA links to the guy's family tree! How could some much older dude in Texas possibly be my birth father?? Well, turns out that's one of the things about genealogy; if you're going to do it properly, you have to learn to reëvaluate your preconceived notions and step outside the box...or possibly even on top of it. The more I researched this new potential bio-father while waiting for DNA files to be uploaded to GEDmatch, the more I started to put the pieces together for how this new guy could be <i>the</i> guy. It took another year to be able to reconcile my DNA matches with Dad #1, but I eventually learned I was related distantly to him through my birth mother's family. Frankly, I wouldn't be at all surprised to further discover that both Dad #1 and Dad #2 were distantly related, considering both they and my birth mother were all descended from Hoosier pioneer families who settled in and around Indianapolis. (Is Hoosier-cest a thing?) Anyway, in due course the relevant DNA was uploaded and I was able to confirm I did indeed have a new sister and the true identity of our shared birth father.<br />
<br />
By the end of that year I'd learned of three additional new siblings (not counting the 5 born to Dad #2's wives), and a metric load of cousins. In fact, just this past Labor Day I had the inestimable privilege of attending a family reunion in Indianapolis with my sister Shan, where we met a third of our "new" cousins and their family members as well as the two living siblings of our birth father. I can't speak for my sister, but I felt like I'd come full circle--come <i>home</i>--at last. These new relatives were surprisingly gracious and welcoming in spite of my sudden appearance in the family and the complicated realities of my conception. They were curious (as well they might be). Many asked for my story and many shared their own (or at least parts of it), for which I was grateful. Over the course of the weekend I was asked repeatedly if I found the experience of meeting everyone overwhelming, but I truly didn't--at least not in the way they meant. Because I'd already interacted with most of them online, they weren't complete strangers to me--which certainly helped. The reality is I couldn't get enough of them. Of watching their expressions and mannerisms and seeing in those the echoes of my own. Of putting voices to faces and personalities to names. Of seeing cheekbones and smiles so very like my own. Of recognizing language phrasings and humor similar to my own. Of discovering so many musicians floating around. Of hearing my aunts' stories about their own youths and that of their siblings. My cousins and I may not have shared a common childhood, but we still share so many other things both tangible and intangible. (Genes don't lie!) I even reveled in watching all these new cousins reacquaint themselves with each other and with their aunts, most of whom had not been together in 30+ years. It was a glorious weekend all around, filled with love, laughter, and good food; I cannot thank my cousin Linda enough for orchestrating the whole reunion. Far from being overwhelmed, I only wish it could have lasted longer.<br />
<br />
I returned home last week with a new and deeper understanding of myself, as well as a deeper appreciation of my adoptive family. We may not have had much growing up and I may have largely been an anomaly in my family, but I never doubted their love of me or support for me even when my interests and abilities were beyond their ken. I will always be grateful for the love and the life they gave me. I will also be eternally grateful to my new family for their openness and willingness to accept me at face value. They had every reason to be wary or cautious, yet chose unanimously to welcome me into their lives and their family and I can't wait to get to know them all better. I am doubly blessed.<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Legacy of an Adopted Child</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once there were two women who never knew each other.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One you do not remember, the other you call mother.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Two different lives shaped to make your one.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One became your guiding star, the other became your sun.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first gave you life and the second taught you to live it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first gave you a need for love and the second was there to give it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One gave you a nationality; the other gave you a name.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One gave you the seed of talent; the other gave you an aim.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One gave you emotions; the other calmed your fears.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One saw your first sweet smile; the other dried your tears.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One gave you up - that's all she could do.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The other prayed for a child and God led her straight to you.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now you ask through all your tears the age-old question through the years:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Heredity or environment - which are you a product of?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Neither, my darling, neither--just two different kinds of love.<br />
~Author unknown</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I will never be able to adequately describe what it's like to feel complete at last--to truly understand who I am and where I came from. Most people take that knowledge for granted because it's something they've always known and so something they've never needed to question.

Yeah, me neither.<br /><br />Until today, that is.<br /><br />Today, as we speak, I have <i>three</i> rather large floral arrangements deployed about my kitchen, all of which feature Easter lilies of one variety or other. In fact, it's starting to look like Easter exploded (beware Weapons of Mass Resurrection), or perhaps as though Jesus were planning to resurrect himself directly from my basement (it <i>is</i> a little tomb-like, after all). Needless to say, this deluge of daylilies was not remotely planned, at least not by me. I'd <i>like</i> to say that some hot, passionate European man was trying to win my favor(s) by showering me with flowers, but alas that's not the case. Nor am I normally so popular as to warrant possessing multiple bouquets at once. The last time I had multiple bouquets was when my cousin and sister both happened to send me gorgeous floral arrangements for my birthday this year; receiving them was especially nice considering I had a fever at the time and was busy hacking up several internal organs for fun and profit. The number of times people have gifted me with multiple floral arrangements prior to that? Nada. Zero. Zip. Zilch. In other words, one less than the number of times I have voluntarily tried Brussels sprouts. Frankly, I want to be IN European countries like Brussels, not have them sprouting ominously inside my intestinal tract. But I digress.<br /><br />Here's the thing: I love flowers. I blame my mother, who was so obsessed with them that I felt morally obligated to send her some for every birthday and Mother's Day once I'd left college. I love flowers almost as much as she did; I just don't love them so much that I'm willing to put in the necessary effort to grow and care for them. I overheat easily enough as it is and, let's face it, Tennessee and Georgia (where I spent most of my adult life) are not exactly friendly climes to the melanin-impaired. Nor have I been given flowers for the majority of my life. As a result, I occasionally send some to myself, especially at Thanksgiving or Christmas. <i>Shut up...it is </i>not<i> sad and pathetic</i>. (<i>Okay, maybe a little</i>.) Usually I prefer to order directly from local florists for the best selection and best bang for my buck, but sometimes it's difficult to resist the 25% off coupons with which Teleflora keeps wallpapering my mailbox.<br /><br />Because I am excessively entranced by pretty glassware (yay, genetics!), I was particularly attracted to a flared turquoise vase used as the base of one of Teleflora's arrangements. Not only is turquoise my happy color, I figured I'd be far more likely to use this vase over the cheap, crappy clear glass vases one usually has lying around, so a couple of weeks ago I ordered the relevant arrangement. I requested delivery for Friday, April 19th to have it in time for Easter while not having to spend all day Saturday waiting on delivery. Instead, I waited all day Friday for a delivery that never came.<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgI5u_xUU8ubeDCYaE3FycrEy_LNdfuOeHj9zJpuaP3LYh3MKj5VEZbsASDWDP6udsd8Wo5PHqds_tVTSNWm5tlFsvCFOSS7a5nJfelIRfQ-Vv58_YNYL48Vv22-hcfcDzvxl5SRcdtt3A/s1600/Screen+Shot+2+2019-04-22+at+5.25.02+PM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="422" data-original-width="320" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgI5u_xUU8ubeDCYaE3FycrEy_LNdfuOeHj9zJpuaP3LYh3MKj5VEZbsASDWDP6udsd8Wo5PHqds_tVTSNWm5tlFsvCFOSS7a5nJfelIRfQ-Vv58_YNYL48Vv22-hcfcDzvxl5SRcdtt3A/s400/Screen+Shot+2+2019-04-22+at+5.25.02+PM.png" width="302" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">You will be MINE, you fabulously flared turquoise vase.<br /><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">(Photo credit: Teleflora)</span></td></tr></tbody></table><br />Friday evening I received an email confirming delivery. Say what, now? Naturally I called Teleflora for clarification. After what felt like three hours on hold, I finally spoke to a (theoretically) real person who promptly told me that I shouldn't have gotten the confirmation and that my arrangement would be delivered Saturday instead. I expressed polite displeasure at the delay but was basically blown off. Fine. I decided to wait and see what happened.<br /><br />The next day I was up by 9 am in case the delivery arrived early...which it didn't. When it finally showed up around 2 pm, I was less than thrilled. The vase was lovely but was not the fabulously flared turquoise vase I was anticipating. The flowers, meanwhile, were awful. I realize one has to make allowances between what Teleflora pictures on its website and the reality of what any given local florist may have in stock at that particular moment, but what arrived was not remotely similar to the arrangement I'd purchased, not least because its pale pink roses looked as though they'd been drained of color by a horticultural vampire before being used violently as a flyswatter. Most of the petals were tatty and raggedy as though they belonged to whatever floral dregs had been left behind at some grocery store at 6 pm on Valentine's Day.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9dIQvGS_0EFJJCohDBX7kq_ij74wDn9uNptMq-GUuPrzaw6j-wEueES8c_Lu9CDAICnHK18L9XwUgCkyjir5oEqp_V8ZipPuzCKQhc8-GzAIiRPp7m9hAExr2uFgoIr254hGStjw68AQ/s1600/IMG_0886.HEIC" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9dIQvGS_0EFJJCohDBX7kq_ij74wDn9uNptMq-GUuPrzaw6j-wEueES8c_Lu9CDAICnHK18L9XwUgCkyjir5oEqp_V8ZipPuzCKQhc8-GzAIiRPp7m9hAExr2uFgoIr254hGStjw68AQ/s640/IMG_0886.HEIC" width="480" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Sad flowers are sad.</td></tr></tbody></table><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1y4HPF_ZCsGFkbCejbIKhf9NxdX8PTv-hWbYcAq2pUm2z8snX7au8OZTtn9xOa95z0tUl2PTarwx872mTpg3sj9un2lIBDAe1NUdX8OzyqnRKbuFasI7nicEag2-QRuXE7J5FRPtGTVU/s1600/IMG_0887.HEIC" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1y4HPF_ZCsGFkbCejbIKhf9NxdX8PTv-hWbYcAq2pUm2z8snX7au8OZTtn9xOa95z0tUl2PTarwx872mTpg3sj9un2lIBDAe1NUdX8OzyqnRKbuFasI7nicEag2-QRuXE7J5FRPtGTVU/s640/IMG_0887.HEIC" width="480" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Half-dead two-day-old roses FTW!

I complain all the time, same as everyone else...<i>at home</i>. Even so, I rarely bother to complain about things at stores or restaurants and such; most of the time I'm willing to give people the benefit of the doubt because I've worked in both retail and restaurants before and I just don't think complaining is usually worth the trouble. Then I looked at those sad, wilty roses and thought "Yeah, no." So I emailed Teleflora (g<i>asp!). </i>I politely suggested that the flowers I'd received were substandard, that the vase was not as pictured, and that the delivery fee had not been adjusted to account for the late delivery. Done and done.<br /><br />Naïveté is not a good color on me.<br /><br />An hour later, I received a <i>second</i> knock on the door and was presented with a <i>second</i> floral arrangement from a <i>second </i>florist. S'cuze me, what? I checked the enclosed card, which had the exact same wording and sentiment as the <i>first</i> arrangement. Okay, so not from somebody else. What the fresh hell?

The first apologized for the substandard product and inaccurate delivery and informed me that I would be refunded $36.83 (which happens to be double the delivery fee I paid but way less than the cost of my order, so that makes sense). The second email confirmed that I wasn't charged twice; it further stated "The recipient may do what she would like with the arrangement that was in bad quality and keep the one that is in better shape or do what you would like with them." Okay, then. All's well that ends well, fabulously flared turquoise vases notwithstanding.<br /><br />But wait! There's MORE!!!<br /><br />This morning as I was leaving to go to my gym, I noticed a tag hanging off the front door handle; I foolishly assumed it was advertising. When I returned home and pulled it off the door, it turned out to be a notice from the same florist who'd sent the Happy Flowers, Boring Vase (sounds like a movie title, right? Like <i>Crouching Dragon, Hidden Tiger</i>?) Apparently they'd tried to deliver <i>yet another</i> <i>arrangement</i> yesterday. On Easter. When they're <i>closed </i>and half the city is at church. If I'd head-desked any harder, there would be a chalk outline of me draped over my laptop right now.<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4hYhrHnVv6Ag6kyP012JYn-LQfIZq19SDM9riG71ckggxiHpYMMQxLq6CgN3xxeENuVk9nnX6KJgKmOm_Q44re_5xIzRdwet4QJzMZt6tRp7s8BA6Tr8EFzR1bI_d5Jw1I7dxhuCfdL0/s1600/IMG_0891+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4hYhrHnVv6Ag6kyP012JYn-LQfIZq19SDM9riG71ckggxiHpYMMQxLq6CgN3xxeENuVk9nnX6KJgKmOm_Q44re_5xIzRdwet4QJzMZt6tRp7s8BA6Tr8EFzR1bI_d5Jw1I7dxhuCfdL0/s640/IMG_0891+2.JPG" width="480" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Seriously???</td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />I called the florist and told them I'd received a hangtag.<br /><br />"Name?"<br /><br />"Stuart."<br /><br />"Oh, yeah, we've got one for you right here. We received a complaint about quality and we take complaints VERY SERIOUSLY."<br /><br />"Wait, WHAT??"<br /><br />Fifteen minutes later I was still trying to explain the sequence of events that had led to this increasingly ridiculous situation, including assuring the lady that her arrangement had been absolutely lovely (incorrect vase notwithstanding) and that she had no need to send me another because the "substandard flowers" had come from a different florist (who conveniently left the company's name off the enclosed card and envelope). She would have none of it. She insisted that they wanted their customers to "be happy." She did rather fairly point out that it was impossible to keep every one of Teleflora's vases in stock and wished they would notate that on their website; she also expressed a justified frustration over Teleflora always mentioning quality complaints without specifying the nature of the quality issues, but she refused to be swayed by my pleas that her business was not at fault. She then informed me that she'd send the delivery guy over with the new arrangement and the "MUCH BETTER, MUCH PRETTIER VASE" right away. (Insert mashup of a facepalm and scream emoji <i>here</i>.)<br /><br />"FFS" didn't even begin to cover it by this point...I was starting to feel like I was in that episode of <i>Friends</i> where Phoebe's bank accidentally deposits an extra $500 into her account and when she tries to rectify the situation, she ends up with an additional $500 and a football phone. Things escalate further when she gives all the extra money to a homeless woman who then buys Phoebe a soda with a thumb in it, causing her to receive $7000 from the soda company. Apparently life now imitates art instead of the other way 'round, because you just can't make this shit up.<br /><br />I delayed my post-workout shower for fear that Delivery Guy would arrive just as I was lathering up; instead I ended up marinating in my skanky workout gear for an extra hour and a half before he arrived. I think it was the same guy who brought the other arrangement on Saturday because he looked decidedly less pleased to see me again; I'm hoping it was just my stank and not him being all nonplussed and branding me the complainer I apparently am, but my expectations are low.<br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsLslbmt-MbqSrwkvGEtTNJhBEKocdZmyQ99315aLu0tZYwjooldOYGejRp8n6IF2WVdok8m51uloy9Zi0DIBFQGpw5-oje0mof5DUmKAhEejPP6Em9zH3lBMBhQL3CHLvn93au9ecHhc/s1600/IMG_0892.HEIC" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsLslbmt-MbqSrwkvGEtTNJhBEKocdZmyQ99315aLu0tZYwjooldOYGejRp8n6IF2WVdok8m51uloy9Zi0DIBFQGpw5-oje0mof5DUmKAhEejPP6Em9zH3lBMBhQL3CHLvn93au9ecHhc/s640/IMG_0892.HEIC" width="480" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Arrangement #3...because there can <i>never </i>be enough flowers in one house.</td></tr></tbody></table><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgL5aaqchlVKNsWPF4UgifpbjW_qDQFnV2Jdv1cbtACtbonCrQFG18sSnx4n2E06NPyn3-VlG9rKjET7G-IgdrVo-K6RuLrj5aLaUWtFlpaLOXOYbZKdS8OBpXLld3mbSRiSrZLKvs6SAw/s1600/IMG_0894.HEIC" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgL5aaqchlVKNsWPF4UgifpbjW_qDQFnV2Jdv1cbtACtbonCrQFG18sSnx4n2E06NPyn3-VlG9rKjET7G-IgdrVo-K6RuLrj5aLaUWtFlpaLOXOYbZKdS8OBpXLld3mbSRiSrZLKvs6SAw/s640/IMG_0894.HEIC" width="480" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">MOAR HYDRANGEAS!!!</td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_FYRxJfGBWbqcfm5UBYEPS9zX2rVfYfgsIlCJlakWnHiQYjwExXF18pIEX13thPRNT0TklQIjFfE_kpFaoOHUFTY3iqQuz1wnnr8NA_CW5Jj7ba0-il7DFKGgjryxZpfGjcvCJT6qPP4/s1600/IMG_0895.HEIC" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_FYRxJfGBWbqcfm5UBYEPS9zX2rVfYfgsIlCJlakWnHiQYjwExXF18pIEX13thPRNT0TklQIjFfE_kpFaoOHUFTY3iqQuz1wnnr8NA_CW5Jj7ba0-il7DFKGgjryxZpfGjcvCJT6qPP4/s640/IMG_0895.HEIC" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">You certainly can't fault the Berlin Blossom Shoppe's customer service...major props to them.

(Mmmm....castles.) I felt so badly for the second florist being made accountable for something they had not really done wrong that I even dug through my trashcan looking for the cellophane which had encompassed the original floral arrangement in the hope that it would have a sticker denoting the purveyor's name. Unfortunately for me and Florist #2, said cellophane appears to have evaporated into thin air. Perhaps Florist #1 snuck into my house and absconded with the evidence in order to cover its substandard tracks. If only I'd had the Crystal Bludgeoner 2000™ yesterday to greet him.<br /><br />Ah, well...I tried. Now I have three generously-endowed vases of flowers (plus one bonus azalea) arrayed about my home for the low, low price of 2/3 the original cost of the first one, all because Teleflora's left hand didn't seem to know what its right hand was doing and because a local florist was wildly enthusiastic about rectifying an error it hadn't made.<br /><br />This has all gotten entirely too ridiculous, even for me--there is absolutely no way I could have made all this up on my own. On the plus side, my house currently smells like Easter, Spring, and a botanical garden all rolled into one, and I am now extensively armed with leaded crystal weaponry. Plus I have leftover Honeybaked ham and I'm not afraid to use it.<br /><br />Meanwhile, if anyone has a sick loved one or someone in the hospital who needs a pick-me-up, let me know. I <i>juuuuuuust</i> might have an extra flower or two lying around to share.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Mary Stuarthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08193758516376835185noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7854799610785943780.post-19599032628637638952019-04-22T18:03:00.004-04:002020-02-15T11:24:16.355-05:00Floral FiascoHave you ever had one of those Mondays where you wake up exhausted, only to find yourself surrounded by a field of flowers whose glorious perfume is wafting headily around you like some sort of botanical crack you can't quite stop snorting? Yeah, me neither.<br />
<br />
Until today, that is.<br />
<br />
Today, as we speak, I have <i>three</i> rather large floral arrangements deployed about my kitchen, all of which feature Easter lilies of one variety or other. In fact, it's starting to look like Easter exploded (beware Weapons of Mass Resurrection), or perhaps as though Jesus were planning to resurrect himself directly from my basement (it <i>is</i> a little tomb-like, after all). Needless to say, this deluge of daylilies was not remotely planned, at least not by me. I'd <i>like</i> to say that some hot, passionate European man was trying to win my favor(s) by showering me with flowers, but alas that's not the case. Nor am I normally so popular as to warrant possessing multiple bouquets at once. The last time I had multiple bouquets was when my cousin and sister both happened to send me gorgeous floral arrangements for my birthday this year; receiving them was especially nice considering I had a fever at the time and was busy hacking up several internal organs for fun and profit. The number of times people have gifted me with multiple floral arrangements prior to that? Nada. Zero. Zip. Zilch. In other words, one less than the number of times I have voluntarily tried Brussels sprouts. Frankly, I want to be IN European countries like Brussels, not have them sprouting ominously inside my intestinal tract. But I digress.<br />
<br />
Here's the thing: I love flowers. I blame my mother, who was so obsessed with them that I felt morally obligated to send her some for every birthday and Mother's Day once I'd left college. I love flowers almost as much as she did; I just don't love them so much that I'm willing to put in the necessary effort to grow and care for them. I overheat easily enough as it is and, let's face it, Tennessee and Georgia (where I spent most of my adult life) are not exactly friendly climes to the melanin-impaired. Nor have I been given flowers for the majority of my life. As a result, I occasionally send some to myself, especially at Thanksgiving or Christmas. <i>Shut up...it is </i>not<i> sad and pathetic</i>. (<i>Okay, maybe a little</i>.) Usually I prefer to order directly from local florists for the best selection and best bang for my buck, but sometimes it's difficult to resist the 25% off coupons with which Teleflora keeps wallpapering my mailbox.<br />
<br />
Because I am excessively entranced by pretty glassware (yay, genetics!), I was particularly attracted to a flared turquoise vase used as the base of one of Teleflora's arrangements. Not only is turquoise my happy color, I figured I'd be far more likely to use this vase over the cheap, crappy clear glass vases one usually has lying around, so a couple of weeks ago I ordered the relevant arrangement. I requested delivery for Friday, April 19th to have it in time for Easter while not having to spend all day Saturday waiting on delivery. Instead, I waited all day Friday for a delivery that never came.<br />

<br />
Friday evening I received an email confirming delivery. Say what, now? Naturally I called Teleflora for clarification. After what felt like three hours on hold, I finally spoke to a (theoretically) real person who promptly told me that I shouldn't have gotten the confirmation and that my arrangement would be delivered Saturday instead. I expressed polite displeasure at the delay but was basically blown off. Fine. I decided to wait and see what happened.<br />
<br />
The next day I was up by 9 am in case the delivery arrived early...which it didn't. When it finally showed up around 2 pm, I was less than thrilled. The vase was lovely but was not the fabulously flared turquoise vase I was anticipating. The flowers, meanwhile, were awful. I realize one has to make allowances between what Teleflora pictures on its website and the reality of what any given local florist may have in stock at that particular moment, but what arrived was not remotely similar to the arrangement I'd purchased, not least because its pale pink roses looked as though they'd been drained of color by a horticultural vampire before being used violently as a flyswatter. Most of the petals were tatty and raggedy as though they belonged to whatever floral dregs had been left behind at some grocery store at 6 pm on Valentine's Day.<br />

Now normally, I'm not much of a complainer. Okay, that's a lie. I complain all the time, same as everyone else...<i>at home</i>. Even so, I rarely bother to complain about things at stores or restaurants and such; most of the time I'm willing to give people the benefit of the doubt because I've worked in both retail and restaurants before and I just don't think complaining is usually worth the trouble. Then I looked at those sad, wilty roses and thought "Yeah, no." So I emailed Teleflora (g<i>asp!). </i>I politely suggested that the flowers I'd received were substandard, that the vase was not as pictured, and that the delivery fee had not been adjusted to account for the late delivery. Done and done.<br />
<br />
Naïveté is not a good color on me.<br />
<br />
An hour later, I received a <i>second</i> knock on the door and was presented with a <i>second</i> floral arrangement from a <i>second </i>florist. S'cuze me, what? I checked the enclosed card, which had the exact same wording and sentiment as the <i>first</i> arrangement. Okay, so not from somebody else. What the fresh hell? At least this arrangement was much prettier (not to mention much closer to the original online photograph); in addition to the giant blue hydrangeas (which I now permanently associate with my sister), it had FRESH roses festively sprayed with tinted glitter and was further festooned with colorful fake easter eggs. Sadly, it too lacked the fabulously flared turquoise vase. Still, it was a vast improvement over Delivery #1.<br />

I again emailed Teleflora, using the diplomatic version of "WTH??" to inquire why I now had TWO floral arrangements (neither of which possessed the vase that was my entire reason for ordering from them in the first place) and whether or not I had been double-charged for this plethora of petals. The real irony is that as if two bouquets weren't enough, I <i>also</i> still had the pretty azalea I'd purchased on Thursday with the (likely deluded) belief that I would plant it in the front flower bed before it dies.<br />

Happy Easter to me--what a weird embarrassment of floral riches.<br />
<br />
Sunday evening I received replies to my two emails from Teleflora. The first apologized for the substandard product and inaccurate delivery and informed me that I would be refunded $36.83 (which happens to be double the delivery fee I paid but way less than the cost of my order, so that makes sense). The second email confirmed that I wasn't charged twice; it further stated "The recipient may do what she would like with the arrangement that was in bad quality and keep the one that is in better shape or do what you would like with them." Okay, then. All's well that ends well, fabulously flared turquoise vases notwithstanding.<br />
<br />
But wait! There's MORE!!!<br />
<br />
This morning as I was leaving to go to my gym, I noticed a tag hanging off the front door handle; I foolishly assumed it was advertising. When I returned home and pulled it off the door, it turned out to be a notice from the same florist who'd sent the Happy Flowers, Boring Vase (sounds like a movie title, right? Like <i>Crouching Dragon, Hidden Tiger</i>?) Apparently they'd tried to deliver <i>yet another</i> <i>arrangement</i> yesterday. On Easter. When they're <i>closed </i>and half the city is at church. If I'd head-desked any harder, there would be a chalk outline of me draped over my laptop right now.<br />

I called the florist and told them I'd received a hangtag.<br />
<br />
"Name?"<br />
<br />
"Stuart."<br />
<br />
"Oh, yeah, we've got one for you right here. We received a complaint about quality and we take complaints VERY SERIOUSLY."<br />
<br />
"Wait, WHAT??"<br />
<br />
Fifteen minutes later I was still trying to explain the sequence of events that had led to this increasingly ridiculous situation, including assuring the lady that her arrangement had been absolutely lovely (incorrect vase notwithstanding) and that she had no need to send me another because the "substandard flowers" had come from a different florist (who conveniently left the company's name off the enclosed card and envelope). She would have none of it. She insisted that they wanted their customers to "be happy." She did rather fairly point out that it was impossible to keep every one of Teleflora's vases in stock and wished they would notate that on their website; she also expressed a justified frustration over Teleflora always mentioning quality complaints without specifying the nature of the quality issues, but she refused to be swayed by my pleas that her business was not at fault. She then informed me that she'd send the delivery guy over with the new arrangement and the "MUCH BETTER, MUCH PRETTIER VASE" right away. (Insert mashup of a facepalm and scream emoji <i>here</i>.)<br />
<br />
"FFS" didn't even begin to cover it by this point...I was starting to feel like I was in that episode of <i>Friends</i> where Phoebe's bank accidentally deposits an extra $500 into her account and when she tries to rectify the situation, she ends up with an additional $500 and a football phone. Things escalate further when she gives all the extra money to a homeless woman who then buys Phoebe a soda with a thumb in it, causing her to receive $7000 from the soda company. Apparently life now imitates art instead of the other way 'round, because you just can't make this shit up.<br />
<br />
I delayed my post-workout shower for fear that Delivery Guy would arrive just as I was lathering up; instead I ended up marinating in my skanky workout gear for an extra hour and a half before he arrived. I think it was the same guy who brought the other arrangement on Saturday because he looked decidedly less pleased to see me again; I'm hoping it was just my stank and not him being all nonplussed and branding me the complainer I apparently am, but my expectations are low.<br />

The new arrangement is also stunning, just like Florist #2's previous arrangement, and the "much better, much prettier" vase weighs enough by itself to bludgeon the troll from Harry Potter insensate or to breach a small castle. (Mmmm....castles.) I felt so badly for the second florist being made accountable for something they had not really done wrong that I even dug through my trashcan looking for the cellophane which had encompassed the original floral arrangement in the hope that it would have a sticker denoting the purveyor's name. Unfortunately for me and Florist #2, said cellophane appears to have evaporated into thin air. Perhaps Florist #1 snuck into my house and absconded with the evidence in order to cover its substandard tracks. If only I'd had the Crystal Bludgeoner 2000™ yesterday to greet him.<br />
<br />
Ah, well...I tried. Now I have three generously-endowed vases of flowers (plus one bonus azalea) arrayed about my home for the low, low price of 2/3 the original cost of the first one, all because Teleflora's left hand didn't seem to know what its right hand was doing and because a local florist was wildly enthusiastic about rectifying an error it hadn't made.<br />
<br />
This has all gotten entirely too ridiculous, even for me--there is absolutely no way I could have made all this up on my own. On the plus side, my house currently smells like Easter, Spring, and a botanical garden all rolled into one, and I am now extensively armed with leaded crystal weaponry. Plus I have leftover Honeybaked ham and I'm not afraid to use it.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, if anyone has a sick loved one or someone in the hospital who needs a pick-me-up, let me know. I <i>juuuuuuust</i> might have an extra flower or two lying around to share.<br />

While there are myriad moments from which to choose--my 'A-ha!' record discoveries included--I believe that my favorite moments this year have come from time spent with friends and colleagues; all are family history warriors striving to establish relationships between people long dead while simultaneously forging relationships with (living) colleagues who can understand their passion for genealogy like no one else.<br /><div></div><div>By its very nature, genealogy can sometimes be a solitary enterprise given that so much of our time is spent alone, whether researching online or happily digging through dusty archives, whether writing reports or analyzing evidence. Therefore the opportunity to spend time touching base with colleagues can be invaluable; not only does it allow you to keep up with advances in the field, it gives you a chance to crowdsource research problems. Sometimes a fresh eye is all it takes to help break down brick walls. </div><div><br /></div><div>As a result, pretty much all my favorite moments this year have been those shared with others: having breakfast with Susan Hayes on Saturday morning then spending all day researching in the FHL, where she named her SLIG elk "Clyde;" being endlessly entertained by Derek Wood (a fellow theater geek) and his plotting to stage a "dream ballet" in the FHL; being approached in the elevator by a complete stranger who told me "Mary Stuart? I've <i>heard </i>about you!" (Turns out she's the sister of June Anderson, who has been in several of my British track courses.

While there are myriad moments from which to choose--my 'A-ha!' record discoveries included--I believe that my favorite moments this year have come from time spent with friends and colleagues; all are family history warriors striving to establish relationships between people long dead while simultaneously forging relationships with (living) colleagues who can understand their passion for genealogy like no one else.<br />
<div>
</div>
<div>
By its very nature, genealogy can sometimes be a solitary enterprise given that so much of our time is spent alone, whether researching online or happily digging through dusty archives, whether writing reports or analyzing evidence. Therefore the opportunity to spend time touching base with colleagues can be invaluable; not only does it allow you to keep up with advances in the field, it gives you a chance to crowdsource research problems. Sometimes a fresh eye is all it takes to help break down brick walls. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As a result, pretty much all my favorite moments this year have been those shared with others: having breakfast with Susan Hayes on Saturday morning then spending all day researching in the FHL, where she named her SLIG elk "Clyde;" being endlessly entertained by Derek Wood (a fellow theater geek) and his plotting to stage a "dream ballet" in the FHL; being approached in the elevator by a complete stranger who told me "Mary Stuart? I've <i>heard </i>about you!" (Turns out she's the sister of June Anderson, who has been in several of my British track courses. When her sister asked why June had never mentioned her, June pithily replied, "Why would I tell her I have a sister?? You aren't <i>dead</i> yet!!" You've got to love genealogist humor); Giggling about Juli Anderson's Swedish ancestor, who lived in a small village called Gustaf Adolf (presumably after the king of the same name), a name which unexpectedly showed up in one of the bibliographies in my syllabus; listening to random "Overheard at SLIG"-type quotes like "<i>Intermediate genealogists look at records; advanced genealogists look at </i>evidence<i>"/</i><i>"Search for evidence, not just information," </i>apparently quoted by the inimitable Tom Jones; meeting a guy named Bob (who has a lovely dry wit) in my class...turns out in small-world fashion that Bob is also from the Philadelphia area and has been at two previous genealogy institutes with me without either of us knowing it; exchanging enthusiastic "good mornings" each day with the housekeeper in charge of our floor, whose infectious smile always peeps out from beneath her hijab as she invariably beams charmingly from around the door of whatever room she was currently in. Each moment is a snapshot in time I will take with me when leave, and which will cheer me when I am eyeballs deep in all the exciting new resources introduced this week.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
While all of those moments were great, without question my absolute favorite memory of this week will be having dinner each night with my genealogy posse (shoutout to Abby, Susan, Derek, Juli, Heather, and Alexa!) Every evening we've gotten together someplace different to share laughter, a meal, and a brief respite between class and heading off to each of our various activities for the night. We've also taken turns going around the table to dish on what was our favorite thing to have learned that day in class, neatly encapsulating our journeys while bringing a unique perspective to it as well. It has rapidly become the cherry on the milkshake of each day, and the bow on the gift that is SLIG.</div>

At the end of the day, you realize that genealogy and family history are all about people--whether living, or dead for centuries--and their stories because one way or another, ferreting out those stories is what brings us all together.</div>

Hump Day. I'll admit it; I was dragging pretty hard this morning. Given my observations of many of the attendees I saw and chatted with today, I wasn't the only one feeling it either. It's that time of the week in every institute when you've been running full-tilt for three straight days. With so many wonderful evening opportunities like SLIG Night at the FHL or lectures or the Ancestry Pro-Genealogists meet-and-greet (never mind the siren call of the FHL itself), sometimes it's hard to tear yourself away from all the excitement to accomplish minor things like doing homework, playing with all the exciting new resources your instructors have been showing you or, in my case, blogging. As a result, you might find yourself staying up entirely too late and sometimes there just isn't enough caffeine in the world to make your brain start functioning properly again.<br /><br />Today was totally that day for me. Sleep-deprived as I was this morning, I managed to focus well enough, completely fascinated as I was by the Congressional Serial Set and other resources introduced to us by Rick Sayre. I also heeded D. Joshua Taylor's later admonition to make sure we didn't settle for looking only at pension files themselves, but to consider accompanying affidavits and such because sometimes they had mentions about or were written <i>by</i> our ancestors. In fact, so prescient was this advice that during the break I actually found just such a mention of my 4 times great-grandfather on a letter in the pension file of one Rebecca Clark, widow of War of 1812 soldier Elisha Clark. The mention had nothing to do with the pension application itself, but was instead a side note about other cases being worked by the same lawyer/agent. Best of all, the note listed a pension application number for my ancestor, which is not currently indexed on Fold3 or elsewhere. Score!!<br />Meanwhile, that little triumph didn't stop me from half-jokingly telling Angie Bush before the last session of the day that she needed to hire me to work on DNA for her because DNA is my <i>jam</i>, after which I promptly embarrassed myself later when I stared blankly at her like a complete idiot during a case study presentation because my brain had finally decided enough was enough and apparently powered down mid-session. Sigh. Making Great First Impressions since 1965.<br /><br />Such is the cycle of these institutes, though. You come in so determined to wring out every conceivable ounce of knowledge while you can--and you DO--but eventually your body just needs a break (<i>traitor!!) </i>or else you have to slow down long enough to process everything you've recently learned so you can remember even half of it when you go home. It's a little like Education by Fire Hose. Still, I wouldn't change a moment because every time I attend an institute such as <a href="https://ugagenealogy.org/cpage.php?pt=524">Salt Lake Institute of Genealogy,</a> I am reminded why I do what I do and I leave thoroughly fired up to keep doing it, even during those times when life tries to get in the way. Who could ask for a better gift?<br /><br />After classes, I went up to my room to grab my coat before dinner and some quality time at the FHL. I glanced out the window and, to my surprise, saw mountains. Considering I'd been grumbling earlier in the week about not getting the mountain view room I'd been promised, this came as quite a surprise. I guess that's what happens when an inversion ends and clears away the clouds. Kinda poetic, when you think about it. We come here to climb the mountain, whether by trying to surmount some research obstacle or to continue our education so we can strive for the pinnacle of our profession, only to one day have the clouds clear and bring our goal suddenly into sight.

From here the rest of the week will no doubt pass in the blink of an eye, and I'll suddenly find myself on a long flight back to the east coast wishing it hadn't all ended so soon or that I could do it all over again.Mary Stuarthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08193758516376835185noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7854799610785943780.post-15030918845763032832019-01-16T04:12:00.003-05:002023-01-05T16:23:56.858-05:00Eye of the TigerAll evening long I've had the song "Eye of the Tiger" stuck in my head. You know the one. First Rocky Balboa does a lot of sparring with Apollo Creed to the strains of "It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight..." and the next thing you know he's standing on a beach hugging Apollo while thrusting his fist into the air in triumph for having successfully beaten his friend in a race.<br /><br />With all due respect to the band Survivor, I often think that last lyric should be changed to "the thrill of the chase" because, as genealogists, so much of what we do is all about the chase...about the journey. After all, isn't that why we come to programs such as the <a href="https://ugagenealogy.org/cpage.php?pt=524">Salt Lake Institute of Genealogy</a> in the first place? To take classes that will give us the tools and resources we need for the hunt? Sure, the chance to network is equally as valuable and pleasurable as doing serious research, but at the end of the day we're all still hunters--fighters--striving to rise "up to the challenge of our rival" (aka our brick walls) as we "stalk [our] prey in the night." Otherwise, why do what we do?<br /><br />Tonight I had the opportunity to stalk some prey of my own in the form of a Kentucky land grant for my 5th great-grandfather, a document that was previously unknown to me. However, an energetic series of lectures today from the amazing D. Joshua Taylor, during which he introduced us all to the assorted pathways and waterways by which our ancestors migrated to the Midwest, gave me tools for a much-needed breakthrough. After introducing the migration paths to us, Josh then gave us the opportunity to go back through our sources and build a timeline for one of our family groups to help us to identify the pathway this set of ancestors might have taken. While I can't yet be sure, I think it highly likely that my 5th great-grandfather's family came straight across the National Road, especially considering they lived at several stops along that pathway. This revelation alone would have been a thrilling enough discovery for any given day, but that knowledge, combined with the new sources introduced earlier in the morning, also ultimately led me to an index of Kentucky land grants. Conveniently for me, the FHL has a copy of the index in their holdings.<br /><br />Thanks to D. Joshua Taylor, I now have a shiny new digital copy of an 1821 land warrant for that very grandfather. Had I not been so tired this evening, I guarantee that not only would there have been Rocky-style fist pumps in the air, raucous singing and embarrassing dancing in the snow would also have no doubt ensued. On the plus side, my inevitable crash and burn onto the slippery sidewalks would have created brand new record sets for future genealogists to stalk.<br /><br />I do so love what we do. There is nothing more thrilling or gratifying than that moment when we locate an elusive record to fill in yet another piece of the puzzle of our lives. Each success, however small, is like finding the Holy Grail all over again. If I'm going to use "Eye of the Tiger as a random analogy, I guess that would make SLIG our collective Apollo Creed, supporting us and teaching us and pushing us to succeed and to surpass.<br /><br />I may not have gotten around to performing my Rocky salute, but I can at least raise a glass to the amazing staff and faculty at SLIG for helping us all be "up to the challenge of our rival."<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge4XgfBNIDkwuaSRiQYH5p5QaemHOuvFVhsuM4F6oXf7OIiVkbKyDsFkcFXUdgw9XJOLIYY-m03aFNJ2dSIzS2e2HQprnvE8tdhq05HFl6W_4ehYWt6MQW_vHCYePbZ0TEd-1aixR4FLo/s1600/IMG_8985+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge4XgfBNIDkwuaSRiQYH5p5QaemHOuvFVhsuM4F6oXf7OIiVkbKyDsFkcFXUdgw9XJOLIYY-m03aFNJ2dSIzS2e2HQprnvE8tdhq05HFl6W_4ehYWt6MQW_vHCYePbZ0TEd-1aixR4FLo/s640/IMG_8985+2.JPG" width="480" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Here's to superlative SLIGs and successful quests, not to mention 37-year-old rock songs.<br />(Photo credit: Abby Peart-Camarato, ©2019)</td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br /><br />Mary Stuarthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08193758516376835185noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7854799610785943780.post-63136483942486025512019-01-16T04:12:00.002-05:002019-01-17T21:29:48.374-05:00Eye of the TigerAll evening long I've had the song "Eye of the Tiger" stuck in my head.

I wasn't particularly dissatisfied with my life, or at least no more than the average person. I had a happy enough childhood and I loved my family, including the brother with whom I was forever fighting. But no matter how happy I may have been, it's virtually impossible to be an adoptee and not grow up with myriad questions about oneself: Why was I given up? Who liked music? Who liked books and words? Who had red hair? Who was the smartass in the family? Who had blue eyes? What country did my ancestors come from? I mean, you can only make up your ethnicity so many times before it starts to get a little ridiculous. "It's St. Patrick's Day and I have red hair and freckles, so I must be Irish." "It's Bastille Day and my surname is French and I like cheese, so clearly I <i>must </i>be French!" "I have a weird affinity for men speaking in heavy brogues and wearing kilts--am I Scottish??" We all end up with so many questions we may never get answers for. We may be loved by our adoptive families, but we are often still "other;" we are unique in the most literal way possible. Until the day we aren't.<br /><br />We all have singular moments in our lives that help either to define us or to change the course of our lives (or both). One year ago today, I experienced one of those singular moments. One year ago today, my world was forever changed. One year ago today, I found the yin to my yang. One year ago today, I "met" my big sister Shannon for the very first time.<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijH7r9vv2TS-kfF0j8cNvm3BkFdHMmKiwSewxAF_4NRs52fCR8ql_ESPzA1w5LJA3_BDjIaMS6eSyCYmP5clt2Yycz7qQXEd_IFZTTuHYDuaR4b1QQxD9reYUguaE0KsJE7ObFoOCK0mA/s1600/i-cNgbFsc-X3+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="800" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijH7r9vv2TS-kfF0j8cNvm3BkFdHMmKiwSewxAF_4NRs52fCR8ql_ESPzA1w5LJA3_BDjIaMS6eSyCYmP5clt2Yycz7qQXEd_IFZTTuHYDuaR4b1QQxD9reYUguaE0KsJE7ObFoOCK0mA/s640/i-cNgbFsc-X3+copy.jpg" width="426" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Me and my Soul Sister<br />(Photo by Terry Cockerham, 2018)</td></tr></tbody></table><br />I say "met" because at the time we first connected, Shannon was waist-deep in a 15-week cooking course in Ireland while I was simultaneously buried in a 15-week (or was it 18?) online genealogy course through Boston University. Needless to say, Messenger and emails rapidly became our new best friends as we began to get to know each other. Finding time to chat around our various course requirements was certainly challenging, but even from the very first I felt an incredibly deep connection to Shan...we just "got" each other straight out of the gate. Having to wait three months to get to meet this new sister in person was nothing short of excruciating, but we finally got together in January of this year. From the moment I walked in her back door, I felt completely at home...like I <i>was</i> home. Shan and her family are some of the most loving and welcoming people I've ever known and, near as I can tell, they should have a revolving door installed on their house because I'm pretty sure they're that way with <i>everyone</i>. It's just a small measure of how generous and big-hearted they all are. Better yet, they're also all sassy as hell, which is obviously right in my wheelhouse. You simply cannot be in Shan's home without being wildly spoiled, including eating like royalty in a Michelin Star-worthy restaurant while simultaneously trying not to spew asparagus tips from your lips or fine wine (or in my case tea) from your nostrils because you're doubled over with laughter from whatever outrageous thing someone has just uttered. The joie de vivre that emanates from Shan's home and from every single member of her family is absolutely contagious and as exhilarating as multiple trips to Europe, every E ride at Disneyland ever, and winning the lottery all rolled into one.<br /><br />This past year has been a wondrous journey of discovery, both of Shan and of myself. I would have loved Shan in any case because she is an amazing human being with more gifts and talents than any one person should be allowed to have, and that's without even counting the joy, light, love, and humility which suffuses her soul. She is a creator who walks the stars with her muses while being every bit as earthy, practical, and nurturing as Mother Nature herself. I realize I am exceedingly biased, but my sister is nothing less than a goddess among women, ever-glowing with an unnaturally youthful beauty from both within and without. Small wonder that she has such a wide and diverse group of friends and acquaintances; everyone wants to capture even the smallest sliver of her passion and zest for life for themselves. Who could blame them? In that respect she reminds me so very much of my own girlie, who similarly blazes with an uncontainable life-force, likewise filled with a fire and passion and determination to squeeze out every ounce of life to be had. Thoreau had them both pegged correctly--they equally yearn to "live deep and suck out the marrow of life."<br /><br />Shan has given me so much this year, both of herself and of her family knowledge. She has gifted me with treasures beyond price--not only herself and her kinship, but the chance to learn my history, to hear the beginning of my story. She gave me the first photo I've ever seen of our father, making me gasp in stunned recognition as I gaped at my own face in male form. She has told me stories of our father, including his love of words, how I smirk exactly like him, and how he had a fascination with glass (as do I), referring to his tchotchkes as his "pretties." AS DO I. It's easy enough to say that someone looks like you or likes the same sport or whatever, but to discover such incredibly specific touchstones was mind-blowing. Suddenly I had a context for so many of the things I do or enjoy. Suddenly I had answers.<br /><br />My world expanded still further when Shan introduced me to several of our cousins, one of whom I had the privilege of meeting in person in July. For all those of you who think I'm the "funny one" who says outrageous or unexpected things, Cousin Linda (who once lived a mere 800 or so feet from me without either of us knowing it), has me beat by a MILE. She is vivacious and hysterical and flamboyantly larger than life and is completely unapologetic about fully enjoying that life. She is kind and thoughtful, loving and funnier than hell. Next to Linda, I look positively bland and reserved. I absolutely adore her.<br /><br />Like Shannon, Linda has also gifted me with her love and her family knowledge. Because of Linda, I now know that I am apparently our grandmother reincarnated. She was an expert seamstress who made beautiful quilts (not that I personally do much quilting). I am tallish like her, whereas most of my cousins are shorter. I am built very like her, with a barrel-chest to house our prodigious lungs because I also sing <i>exactly like her, </i>all power and projection, microphones sold separately. There was a certain irony to learning that, because the knowledge took my breath away. Learning that I inherited my grandmother's singing voice when singing has always been so important to me was both stunning and awe-inspiring at the same time. It was so much more than just a puzzle piece slamming into place. It wasn't just "Hey, this is who in the family happened to like music," it was "Hey, you inherited this big-ass chunk of genetics from this exact person with your exact voice." Frankly, it was overwhelming...I've never had that kind of context or closure before. Nor would I have without the sister who introduced me to our dear cousin Linda.<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkt24eEdYHNauuaRjvfYKEb1LNydyheynDA3LkgXKHeQXTbCgpYuCFRJZ5KNx4oAAqZHegym8SzutBfsuLcVe3facicA9RMmo_6GlS_RNJkmMD2F6-sTxcytkeJG2ckKY1N8qNQ7uyBbU/s1600/IMG_6571.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1203" data-original-width="1600" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkt24eEdYHNauuaRjvfYKEb1LNydyheynDA3LkgXKHeQXTbCgpYuCFRJZ5KNx4oAAqZHegym8SzutBfsuLcVe3facicA9RMmo_6GlS_RNJkmMD2F6-sTxcytkeJG2ckKY1N8qNQ7uyBbU/s640/IMG_6571.JPG" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Cousin Linda, Sister Shan, and Me</td></tr></tbody></table><br />Through Shannon, I have not only have been given back my history, but I've been given family I never knew I had, from several new cousins to a new brother-in-law to nieces and nephews with whom I actually share blood. Don't get me wrong; I adore ALL my nieces and nephews, but this is all definitely a novel experience for me because I now get to see the echoes of my <i>own</i> ancestors in both my child and in Shan's children. It has been such an inestimable privilege to see those genetics in action. For example, my nephew Kincaid reminds me so very much of my daughter, from their boundless energy to their drive and ambition. Plus both were Irish dancers! What are the odds of that, really? I mean, that's a fairly niche sport, after all...how surreal can you get? Meanwhile, I have reveled in my niece Arden's love of writing and literature (something we both share), as well as in her wicked sense of humor that quietly sneaks up on you and whacks you over the head when you least expect it like some sort of jocularity ninja.<br /><br />In July I also had the pleasure of finally getting to meet my other nephew, Obie, who is technically the oldest of all my nieces and nephews (if only by 10 days). He was also born on my girlie's half-birthday, because genealogy is full of weird little serendipities like that. Obie is a charming young man with a mega-watt smile who bears more than a passing resemblance to actor Colin Farrell (something he's no doubt sick of hearing). Obie is one of those guys who can make you feel like you're the only person in the room when he's talking to you; before you know it you might find yourself telling him things you never expected to tell anyone. He's just that compelling...I think it's his superpower. As with his siblings, I see bits of myself in Obie too; while it may not be <i>my</i> superpower, I think perhaps we both find it easier to encourage others to speak than to bare our own souls. We're also both watchers...observers. From what I can tell, there is little that Obie misses. Even with his attention fully on you, you get the distinct impression that he's taking in everything around him at all times. At one point during the evening Obie asked if I was "cheating on his brother's bed," in reference to a <a href="https://www.gingerdoodles.com/2018/01/villa-sionna.html">post</a> I'd written months earlier about how comfortable said bed was during my first visit. I remember gleefully thinking, "Oh, yeah--I see what you did there. This is gonna be <i>fun.</i>" I <i>adore</i> people who can keep me on my toes like that; the challenge is exhilarating.<br /><br />Shannon and I may not look much like each other, she being as near a physical clone of her birth mother as I am of our father, but she and I are so completely alike in so many other ways. We think alike and we both have the same creative mindset even though we express our art in different ways. We are both singers, albeit with very different ranges. Our adoption experiences and our search for identity have many differences, yet echo each other on a visceral level. We are both lovers and givers, striving to make life happier and/or better for those around us, even when it comes at a cost to ourselves. Perhaps that's an adoptee thing, or perhaps that's an "us" thing...it's hard to say. If we lived nearer to each other, Shan would undoubtedly also be my regular partner in crime. My gratitude to her and for her grows each and every day, as does my already incandescent love for this superlative creature. She is my better in virtually every way possible, not least because she has an uncanny knack for never letting me feel "less than," even when I am. She is one of the most beautiful souls I have ever encountered, much less had the privilege of being related to. We may only have known each other a year, but it already feels like I have known Shannon <i>forever</i>.<br /><br />Shan truly is the yin to my yang, and nothing better exemplifies the depth of our connection than what happened today. Because I was going to be out of town for a conference and research all last week, I made a point of arranging for flowers to be sent to Shan today, in honor of our first anniversary together as sisters. I even texted my niece to find out what Shan's favorite flowers were (hydrangeas, fyi). I selected an arrangement specifically because it had a vase with a "wave" design in ocean colors (my sister's favorite) and because it had both blue and white hydrangeas and thistles, (which she also loves and which were a nice nod to Shan and her husband's anniversary trip to Scotland earlier this year). I admit I was excessively pleased with myself, especially after Shan called me this afternoon to thank me for the thoughtful flowers. Imagine my absolute surprise when a delivery van pulled up in my driveway just a few minutes later, causing me to rush to the laundry room for pants because I was still wearing pajamas while catching up on paperwork from my week-long absence. I met the guy halfway down the sidewalk (he'd waited all of maybe 2 minutes after knocking) and was presented with a large vase of flowers. At that point, I just knew. I mean, who <i>else</i> would have sent them?? I got the arrangement into the house, set them down, and grabbed the card first thing. Sure enough, they were anniversary flowers from my darling sister...including blue hydrangeas...received less than 30 minutes after she called to thank me for <i>her</i> flowers. I laughed and laughed till tears rolled down my eyes...and possibly my legs. Because of course. OF COURSE. Who else but the two of us would send virtually the same flowers to each other at virtually the exact same time?? I knew she was working, so I sent her an audio text to thank her while wheezing with laughter. A while later she called again, excessively pleased with HERself for keeping the secret when she earlier called ME. My sister and I could not possibly be bigger nerds if we tried. Great minds, and all that.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK5Nekk43xRpRqVpGd9WmaVBcoGu05g4t00I6a2CWghcMAAJyBebYvDT7nebHmknBuQlwmvQjPpcY8J7x2Os6KFXmb3dY-SdpNJE4kakaa4Lpn7BvLXfy_ebvpOP47NF2_ecmFelMheNs/s1600/IMG_7964.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK5Nekk43xRpRqVpGd9WmaVBcoGu05g4t00I6a2CWghcMAAJyBebYvDT7nebHmknBuQlwmvQjPpcY8J7x2Os6KFXmb3dY-SdpNJE4kakaa4Lpn7BvLXfy_ebvpOP47NF2_ecmFelMheNs/s640/IMG_7964.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN5qiOlPwZIXsX5vp8xqxU1ma-ACQyAABMAXz8WKi-_bABlRFyDLUKaVhW-XiXu8Cljys_GVktIv_ZM0s2y0V4b2Lj0a5Y_2qMKFZHgiR9SdGjMYFWlC1fUQOPrJAoO24HL_rvuKbHesQ/s1600/IMG_7965.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhN5qiOlPwZIXsX5vp8xqxU1ma-ACQyAABMAXz8WKi-_bABlRFyDLUKaVhW-XiXu8Cljys_GVktIv_ZM0s2y0V4b2Lj0a5Y_2qMKFZHgiR9SdGjMYFWlC1fUQOPrJAoO24HL_rvuKbHesQ/s640/IMG_7965.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><br />I will never fail to be amazed me how open Shan has been with me, even from the very beginning, given some of the disappointments she's faced in finding other birth family. Sometimes that's par for the course, because you never know where someone is at on their own journey or how their past experiences will inform their current actions. I've likewise run the birth family reaction gamut, from finding a new brother who is also very sweet and thoughtful to other siblings who still don't know about me (and likely never will), to siblings who aren't interested in knowing me, and even to relatives who have chosen to block me from their lives. Still other potential relatives hang in limbo, having yet to return messages. That's part of what make's Shannon's openness and generosity of spirit such an priceless gift. She hasn't just given me back my story, she's given me her family--<i>our</i> family--and all of herself freely, even knowing the risk. How could I <i>not </i>adore this fierce little warrior sister with all my heart as a result? Shan has made me a far better person in these twelve short months and I will aspire every day of the rest of my life to deserve her love and her faith in me. She is a treasure of incalculable worth.<br /><br />She is my sister.<br /><br />Happy Shanniversary, Dear One. I hope it is the first of many.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/TZ0pXUb5jVU/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/TZ0pXUb5jVU?feature=player_embedded" width="560"></iframe></div><br /><br /><br /><br />Mary Stuarthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08193758516376835185noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7854799610785943780.post-76330328043958389662018-10-22T17:52:00.000-04:002018-10-24T15:31:56.759-04:00ShanniversaryMost of my life I've wondered where I came from.

<br />
I say "met" because at the time we first connected, Shannon was waist-deep in a 15-week cooking course in Ireland while I was simultaneously buried in a 15-week (or was it 18?) online genealogy course through Boston University. Needless to say, Messenger and emails rapidly became our new best friends as we began to get to know each other. Finding time to chat around our various course requirements was certainly challenging, but even from the very first I felt an incredibly deep connection to Shan...we just "got" each other straight out of the gate. Having to wait three months to get to meet this new sister in person was nothing short of excruciating, but we finally got together in January of this year. From the moment I walked in her back door, I felt completely at home...like I <i>was</i> home. Shan and her family are some of the most loving and welcoming people I've ever known and, near as I can tell, they should have a revolving door installed on their house because I'm pretty sure they're that way with <i>everyone</i>. It's just a small measure of how generous and big-hearted they all are. Better yet, they're also all sassy as hell, which is obviously right in my wheelhouse. You simply cannot be in Shan's home without being wildly spoiled, including eating like royalty in a Michelin Star-worthy restaurant while simultaneously trying not to spew asparagus tips from your lips or fine wine (or in my case tea) from your nostrils because you're doubled over with laughter from whatever outrageous thing someone has just uttered. The joie de vivre that emanates from Shan's home and from every single member of her family is absolutely contagious and as exhilarating as multiple trips to Europe, every E ride at Disneyland ever, and winning the lottery all rolled into one.<br />
<br />
This past year has been a wondrous journey of discovery, both of Shan and of myself. I would have loved Shan in any case because she is an amazing human being with more gifts and talents than any one person should be allowed to have, and that's without even counting the joy, light, love, and humility which suffuses her soul. She is a creator who walks the stars with her muses while being every bit as earthy, practical, and nurturing as Mother Nature herself. I realize I am exceedingly biased, but my sister is nothing less than a goddess among women, ever-glowing with an unnaturally youthful beauty from both within and without. Small wonder that she has such a wide and diverse group of friends and acquaintances; everyone wants to capture even the smallest sliver of her passion and zest for life for themselves. Who could blame them? In that respect she reminds me so very much of my own girlie, who similarly blazes with an uncontainable life-force, likewise filled with a fire and passion and determination to squeeze out every ounce of life to be had. Thoreau had them both pegged correctly--they equally yearn to "live deep and suck out the marrow of life."<br />
<br />
Shan has given me so much this year, both of herself and of her family knowledge. She has gifted me with treasures beyond price--not only herself and her kinship, but the chance to learn my history, to hear the beginning of my story. She gave me the first photo I've ever seen of our father, making me gasp in stunned recognition as I gaped at my own face in male form. She has told me stories of our father, including his love of words, how I smirk exactly like him, and how he had a fascination with glass (as do I), referring to his tchotchkes as his "pretties." AS DO I. It's easy enough to say that someone looks like you or likes the same sport or whatever, but to discover such incredibly specific touchstones was mind-blowing. Suddenly I had a context for so many of the things I do or enjoy. Suddenly I had answers.<br />
<br />
My world expanded still further when Shan introduced me to several of our cousins, one of whom I had the privilege of meeting in person in July. For all those of you who think I'm the "funny one" who says outrageous or unexpected things, Cousin Linda (who once lived a mere 800 or so feet from me without either of us knowing it), has me beat by a MILE. She is vivacious and hysterical and flamboyantly larger than life and is completely unapologetic about fully enjoying that life. She is kind and thoughtful, loving and funnier than hell. Next to Linda, I look positively bland and reserved. I absolutely adore her.<br />
<br />
Like Shannon, Linda has also gifted me with her love and her family knowledge. Because of Linda, I now know that I am apparently our grandmother reincarnated. She was an expert seamstress who made beautiful quilts (not that I personally do much quilting). I am tallish like her, whereas most of my cousins are shorter. I am built very like her, with a barrel-chest to house our prodigious lungs because I also sing <i>exactly like her, </i>all power and projection, microphones sold separately. There was a certain irony to learning that, because the knowledge took my breath away. Learning that I inherited my grandmother's singing voice when singing has always been so important to me was both stunning and awe-inspiring at the same time. It was so much more than just a puzzle piece slamming into place. It wasn't just "Hey, this is who in the family happened to like music," it was "Hey, you inherited this big-ass chunk of genetics from this exact person with your exact voice." Frankly, it was overwhelming...I've never had that kind of context or closure before. Nor would I have without the sister who introduced me to our dear cousin Linda.<br />

<br />
Through Shannon, I have not only have been given back my history, but I've been given family I never knew I had, from several new cousins to a new brother-in-law to nieces and nephews with whom I actually share blood. Don't get me wrong; I adore ALL my nieces and nephews, but this is all definitely a novel experience for me because I now get to see the echoes of my <i>own</i> ancestors in both my child and in Shan's children. It has been such an inestimable privilege to see those genetics in action. For example, my nephew Kincaid reminds me so very much of my daughter, from their boundless energy to their drive and ambition. Plus both were Irish dancers! What are the odds of that, really? I mean, that's a fairly niche sport, after all...how surreal can you get? Meanwhile, I have reveled in my niece Arden's love of writing and literature (something we both share), as well as in her wicked sense of humor that quietly sneaks up on you and whacks you over the head when you least expect it like some sort of jocularity ninja.<br />
<br />
In July I also had the pleasure of finally getting to meet my other nephew, Obie, who is technically the oldest of all my nieces and nephews (if only by 10 days). He was also born on my girlie's half-birthday, because genealogy is full of weird little serendipities like that. Obie is a charming young man with a mega-watt smile who bears more than a passing resemblance to actor Colin Farrell (something he's no doubt sick of hearing). Obie is one of those guys who can make you feel like you're the only person in the room when he's talking to you; before you know it you might find yourself telling him things you never expected to tell anyone. He's just that compelling...I think it's his superpower. As with his siblings, I see bits of myself in Obie too; while it may not be <i>my</i> superpower, I think perhaps we both find it easier to encourage others to speak than to bare our own souls. We're also both watchers...observers. From what I can tell, there is little that Obie misses. Even with his attention fully on you, you get the distinct impression that he's taking in everything around him at all times. At one point during the evening Obie asked if I was "cheating on his brother's bed," in reference to a <a href="https://www.gingerdoodles.com/2018/01/villa-sionna.html">post</a> I'd written months earlier about how comfortable said bed was during my first visit. I remember gleefully thinking, "Oh, yeah--I see what you did there. This is gonna be <i>fun.</i>" I <i>adore</i> people who can keep me on my toes like that; the challenge is exhilarating.<br />
<br />
Shannon and I may not look much like each other, she being as near a physical clone of her birth mother as I am of our father, but she and I are so completely alike in so many other ways. We think alike and we both have the same creative mindset even though we express our art in different ways. We are both singers, albeit with very different ranges. Our adoption experiences and our search for identity have many differences, yet echo each other on a visceral level. We are both lovers and givers, striving to make life happier and/or better for those around us, even when it comes at a cost to ourselves. Perhaps that's an adoptee thing, or perhaps that's an "us" thing...it's hard to say. If we lived nearer to each other, Shan would undoubtedly also be my regular partner in crime. My gratitude to her and for her grows each and every day, as does my already incandescent love for this superlative creature. She is my better in virtually every way possible, not least because she has an uncanny knack for never letting me feel "less than," even when I am. She is one of the most beautiful souls I have ever encountered, much less had the privilege of being related to. We may only have known each other a year, but it already feels like I have known Shannon <i>forever</i>.<br />
<br />
Shan truly is the yin to my yang, and nothing better exemplifies the depth of our connection than what happened today. Because I was going to be out of town for a conference and research all last week, I made a point of arranging for flowers to be sent to Shan today, in honor of our first anniversary together as sisters. I even texted my niece to find out what Shan's favorite flowers were (hydrangeas, fyi). I selected an arrangement specifically because it had a vase with a "wave" design in ocean colors (my sister's favorite) and because it had both blue and white hydrangeas and thistles, (which she also loves and which were a nice nod to Shan and her husband's anniversary trip to Scotland earlier this year). I admit I was excessively pleased with myself, especially after Shan called me this afternoon to thank me for the thoughtful flowers. Imagine my absolute surprise when a delivery van pulled up in my driveway just a few minutes later, causing me to rush to the laundry room for pants because I was still wearing pajamas while catching up on paperwork from my week-long absence. I met the guy halfway down the sidewalk (he'd waited all of maybe 2 minutes after knocking) and was presented with a large vase of flowers. At that point, I just knew. I mean, who <i>else</i> would have sent them?? I got the arrangement into the house, set them down, and grabbed the card first thing. Sure enough, they were anniversary flowers from my darling sister...including blue hydrangeas...received less than 30 minutes after she called to thank me for <i>her</i> flowers. I laughed and laughed till tears rolled down my eyes...and possibly my legs. Because of course. OF COURSE. Who else but the two of us would send virtually the same flowers to each other at virtually the exact same time?? I knew she was working, so I sent her an audio text to thank her while wheezing with laughter. A while later she called again, excessively pleased with HERself for keeping the secret when she earlier called ME. My sister and I could not possibly be bigger nerds if we tried. Great minds, and all that.<br />

<br />
I will never fail to be amazed me how open Shan has been with me, even from the very beginning, given some of the disappointments she's faced in finding other birth family. Sometimes that's par for the course, because you never know where someone is at on their own journey or how their past experiences will inform their current actions. I've likewise run the birth family reaction gamut, from finding a new brother who is also very sweet and thoughtful to other siblings who still don't know about me (and likely never will), to siblings who aren't interested in knowing me, and even to relatives who have chosen to block me from their lives. Still other potential relatives hang in limbo, having yet to return messages. That's part of what make's Shannon's openness and generosity of spirit such an priceless gift. She hasn't just given me back my story, she's given me her family--<i>our</i> family--and all of herself freely, even knowing the risk. How could I <i>not </i>adore this fierce little warrior sister with all my heart as a result? Shan has made me a far better person in these twelve short months and I will aspire every day of the rest of my life to deserve her love and her faith in me. She is a treasure of incalculable worth.<br />
<br />
She is my sister.<br />
<br />
Happy Shanniversary, Dear One. I hope it is the first of many.<br />

Finally, the bright lights entwined in the trees reflect all the little sparks ignited in us during the week, some of which will ultimately enable us to further scale the trees of our ancestry and

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">Tomorrow
is the last day of my #SLIGExperience for #SLIG2018.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I find it difficult to believe that the week
is nearly over already; it seems as though I only just arrived yet here I am, a
mere 34 hours from flying home from a happy week spent in expanding my
genealogical education, in hanging out with friends and colleagues, and in
near-daily trips to the FHL while it’s readily available.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">We have
experienced the highs of discovery, both in terms of finding new resources (at
least in my case) for hunting down recalcitrant relatives in England and in the
unadulterated joy of finally laying eyes on a vital record which was previously
nothing but an FHL number hidden within the bowels of the FamilySearch
catalogue.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We have also experienced the
lows of long lunch lines on Monday and the chorus of coughing permeating each
room in the Hilton as colleagues struggle to work around colds, bronchitis, or
the flu.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">Regardless,
I think it is safe to say that we will all come away from our SLIG experience
as better people and better genealogists who are more knowledgeable than when
we started, and no doubt more inspired to continue our personal quests, whether
those consist of continuing education, ancestor sleuthing, or finally gaining
the courage to take the leap into professional genealogy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">As I left
this evening for my daily pilgrimage to the FHL, I was slapped in the face by a
snow flurry of big flakes; it made for a long, damp walk.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On the way home, however, I was struck once
again by the beauty of the local landscape, from the blue lights festooning
trees lining the streets to the backdrop of soaring mountains in the near
distance.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It struck me that perhaps this
experience too served as a metaphor for SLIG 2018; the snow blasting me in the
face represents the sheer volume of information being thrown at us all week,
the processing of which becomes an uphill climb at times.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But at the end of things, the snow has
stopped falling, leaving us with clear, crisp skies as our classes begin to
sink in and to provide clarity. Finally, the bright lights entwined in the
trees reflect all the little sparks ignited in us during the week, some of
which will ultimately enable us to further scale the trees of our ancestry and
those of others.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Or, if you prefer, I put the “pro” in “procrastinate” because I value those extra ten minutes of sleep more than my life and consider any morning which starts before 10 am a crime against nature. I may need to work on that.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">Today’s class began with a fascinating talk by Diane Loosle on Crime and Punishment, during which we learned about the different levels of the English Court system and the types of records each produced; of particular note to me was a discussion on transported prisoners because I have one in my family tree—he was transported from England to the colonies after being arrested for larceny, so feel free insert any relevant puns about “stealing away” to America <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">here</i>. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_YhNxHFscIVFBofiT4bpy2CusScZFfz5z7ZbxjnZeOiYNdoJ9RRrnx55P7RL1JgU3Y1kzdjdXpTfhgOBgdj2oOhSI7SEbqnVvxJCLrkRyUDSYRJUyZrTmwRRTeub99ajMrnJvVYjeRDM/s1600/IMG_4043.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_YhNxHFscIVFBofiT4bpy2CusScZFfz5z7ZbxjnZeOiYNdoJ9RRrnx55P7RL1JgU3Y1kzdjdXpTfhgOBgdj2oOhSI7SEbqnVvxJCLrkRyUDSYRJUyZrTmwRRTeub99ajMrnJvVYjeRDM/s640/IMG_4043.JPG" width="480" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Paul Milner, teaching on English probate records.</td></tr></tbody></table><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">The afternoon sessions were run by the delightful Dr. Ronald Hill, who spoke to us about English Chancery records (more crime!) and later about deciphering Elizabethan script, which extensively uses contractions, abbreviations, and simply drops letters.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In fact, one of my classmates, Rosanne Ricks, even referred to it as “Medieval texting.” Well-played, Rosanne!<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">The evening was spent once again at the Family History Library (because how can any genealogist worth his or her…Salt…be near Genealogy Mecca and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">not</i> take full advantage? While there I took a course with Julie Stoddard, who provided several helpful resources for researching early American ancestors, then I spent a few minutes playing with the Library’s iPad docking stations, where I quickly learned that I am distantly related to several presidents (including George Washington), Thomas Edison, Elvis Presley, and Emily Dickinson. Turns out I’m even related to a couple other SLIG attendees, include my 11<sup>th</sup> cousin Sara Cochran! I have to confess, I found it all very entertaining.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I don’t know how accurate the linkages are (have they followed the Genealogical Proof Standard in determining these connections???), but really, isn’t this joy of discovery what we as genealogists are all about?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Doesn’t matter whether we’re discovering in a class, or in a set of records in some dusty archive, or even in an interactive display in Salt Lake City.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s all about the hunt, and the gratification of discovery. #SLIGExperience<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">On the way home, my SLIG buddies and I joked about cutting class to spend more time at the FHL, though of course we wouldn’t.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Time in class is just as valuable as time at the Library.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I never did decide whether skiving off would count as a crime or a misdemeanor, though…I’ll have to check with Diane tomorrow. ;)<o:p></o:p></span></div><!--[if gte

Day Three: Crimes and Misdemeanors<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">My morning
started with yet another rushed start for me because I am a night owl who struggles
to get up for morning lark classes. Or, if you prefer, I put the “pro” in “procrastinate”
because I value those extra ten minutes of sleep more than my life and consider
any morning which starts before 10 am a crime against nature. I may need to work on that.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">Today’s
class began with a fascinating talk by Diane Loosle on Crime and Punishment,
during which we learned about the different levels of the English Court system
and the types of records each produced; of particular note to me was a
discussion on transported prisoners because I have one in my family tree—he was
transported from England to the colonies after being arrested for larceny, so feel
free insert any relevant puns about “stealing away” to America <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">here</i>. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">The
afternoon sessions were run by the delightful Dr. Ronald Hill, who spoke to us
about English Chancery records (more crime!) and later about deciphering Elizabethan script,
which extensively uses contractions, abbreviations, and simply drops letters.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In fact, one of my classmates, Rosanne Ricks,
even referred to it as “Medieval texting.” Well-played, Rosanne!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">The
evening was spent once again at the Family History Library (because how can any
genealogist worth his or her…Salt…be near Genealogy Mecca and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">not</i> take full advantage? While there I
took a course with Julie Stoddard, who provided several helpful resources for
researching early American ancestors, then I spent a few minutes playing with
the Library’s iPad docking stations, where I quickly learned that I am
distantly related to several presidents (including George Washington), Thomas
Edison, Elvis Presley, and Emily Dickinson. Turns out I’m even related to a
couple other SLIG attendees, include my 11<sup>th</sup> cousin Sara Cochran! I
have to confess, I found it all very entertaining.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I don’t know how accurate the linkages are
(have they followed the Genealogical Proof Standard in determining these
connections???), but really, isn’t this joy of discovery what we as
genealogists are all about?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Doesn’t
matter whether we’re discovering in a class, or in a set of records in some
dusty archive, or even in an interactive display in Salt Lake City.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s all about the hunt, and the
gratification of discovery. #SLIGExperience<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">On the way
home, my SLIG buddies and I joked about cutting class to spend more time at the
FHL, though of course we wouldn’t.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Time
in class is just as valuable as time at the Library.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I never did decide whether skiving off would
count as a crime or a misdemeanor, though…I’ll have to check with Diane
tomorrow. ;)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Not surprisingly, most of my class left at 4 pm excited but a little shell-shocked as we all tried to process the sheer volume of information given to us. Thanks to the encyclopedic knowledge of our instructors Paul Milner and Diane, we discovered (among many other things) that England’s Parish Chests and court Quarter Sessions are rich resources rife with all sorts of interesting (and occasionally obscure) lists and documents, including everything from lists of jurors, felons, tradesmen, and members of the military to records on witchcraft and bastardy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Who knew the Quart Sessions and Parish Chest were such incredible treasure troves??<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span

Potatoes, a casserole dish traditionally served during funerals. Fat Jack’s version were large hush-puppy-style croquettes of potato, cheese, sour cream, scallions, and bacon grease crusted in crushed cornflakes. They were sinfully delicious, and clearly one of the main reasons for the “Fat” in “Fat Jack’s.”<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;">After dinner, my companions and I hoofed it down to the Family History Library (FHL), where we spent a joyous evening geeking out over the extensive collection of microfilm housed there and digitally copying as many records as our grubby little mitts could grab. While there, I discovered marriage registers for my birth grandparents, great-grandparents, and a great-great-grandfather’s second marriage. It was difficult not to squee with maniacal delight over each new acquisition, and we left wondering whether or not the staff would mind if we brought in pillows and sleeping bags to camp out there indefinitely. (Something tells me they would.)<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"><o:p><br /></o:p></span></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0"
