oh pshaw! I like to be called wonderful! LOL I was thinking about my cousins today and I looked up my cousin's phone number. I have not talked to him since I was a teenager and I am 49 now! Interstingly his sister was visiting today as well so I was able to talk to her too. We updated each other on the family news, who died, who is alive, the babies, etc. It was really fun. My dad and his dad (and well, the rest of my dad's siblings) had a rift that started when I was a teen (my dad's chosen religion kept him from communicating with his siblings very often). It was really nice to talk to them and get my info updated and to see that they are alive and well. Reunions are sooo nice. I told them that I am almost ready to print a book of our family. I am hoping to print it before October. Does anyone know of any cheap self-publishers? If I can't find one on the net I will just print it at Kinkos with a wire type binding. If I use quality paper it will hold up for a long time. Or, does anyone have any other suggestions? I am putting copies of photos and draft cards, etc in the book as well as some memoirs and the family trees. One of the trees that will be in there is of E Collier Adams and Carrie (Hemenway) Adams who are both buried in Lorain. However, the book will be called "The Barrett Memoirs and Genealogy." My grandmother was E Collier and Carrie's daughter, Eunice Rose (Adams) Barrett. If you are related in some way and want a book, please let me know.
