Wet Feet

Mom used to say "you have to get your feet wet" if you're going to really live life.  I liked that about her. 

So I'm going to remember and celebrate both my parents by exploring their families and sharing my discoveries and thoughts with you.  I want to write about the facts and the family stories (sometimes myth, sometimes truth). 

And along the way, maybe we'll discover something interesting about life.

Disclaimer:  Be it known that I have absolutely no intention of offending any living relative.  But it may happen nonetheless, and I apologize in advance.

I'd love to hear your thoughts, comments and polite objections.
