Visit from my boys, Chris and Greg.  Family fun.

It been an eventful beginning to the month of June.  Had a visit from my son, Chris and Greg.  Was able to spend time with them and my daughter Keri.   Of course, son in law, Eric and my hubby, Ron were in the mix too. 

Did a little searching on Ancestry.com and discovered that my great great grandfather, James Curran came from Killeen, Dunsany, Meath as did his wife, Rosa Stapleton.  James' mother was Rose Corbett and his father was James Curran,   It is also exciting to find a location of one of my relatives.  Since I have done DNA testing I am getting links to others who might be relatives.  One that looks promising is in the Curran family.  Always new discoveries when doing family research and digging deep into our family roots. 

Yesterday, June 15th I went to lunch with my Red Hat group and after Anita and I took a drive to Tahoe to see the movie, "The Great Gatsby."  It was a beautiful drive, fun company and enjoyable movie.  Had a twist in the end that I didn't expect.   Life is good here in Nevada.
