..."Have a 'family' video chat--"<br /><br />We did something like this when my sister in Atlanta called a few days ago and I talked to my uncle (like a big brother to me), and several cousins. They all meet in Atlanta early to celebrate. It's a good time to get them all in one place. <br /><br />Great suggestions, Lee. A writer has to always be a writer, thinking ahead.D.G.

Some of my older cousins have done geneological research....we can only go back to the late 1800s in Italy and there are still distant relatives who live in our ancestral hometown.

It's a big free-form list of things from our lives, some expanded, some just in note form ("the puppy incident"). Since we can all edit and add to the same document, it's neat to see the little arguments that break out. One sis will add a story, another will add a note to say "I'm pretty sure that was in summer, not winter." I'll come in and disagree with both of them. It's meant to be something we can pull from for our own projects, but ultimately, it's a project in itself.Kelly Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01752857506190488860noreply@blogger.com
