Good morning folks

Sue walked with a walker today, with little to no support.


I'm am suspect of the DNA tests. I have a similar situation, no native american. Yet I know, through research and documentation, that My Grandmother's Grandmother was 100% Cherokee. Her family escaped the trail of tears and was taken in by a white family, that basically taught them to be white. Because they took that families surname it get's really murky, but I was able to follow them to Illinois and then to Terre Haute Indiana where she was married and had my grandmother's mom. What I haven't been able to find was her death certificate. I think I actually did once but passed because it was tied to the reservation. Family stories said she died in Indiana, but her youngest daughter said she moved to the reservation when they started issuing Social Security Cards.

Fascinating!

It seems from the research done by members of my family that are interested in the subject that I'm a Scott. Not just a bit of a Scott either. Pretty much Scottish as far as records go back. I have pages of stuff from my elder sister and strangely my stepmother who have church and county records going back for years.
It was only in the last couple of generations that my family levered their way into the middle classes via education; an unfortunate occurrence imo. I now have a group of relatives who can read and write but can't lace their shoes up without tying both together.
Nobody is quite sure what happened with me........ I guess I'm the genetic throwback, and quite pleased about it I am to.
I have recently been ripping the piss out of my nephew who is now 27 years old and is moving from a Masters degree (I can read and write and then write about what I've read) to a Phd (I can read and write, write about what I've read and spell most of the words right) He will be joining the other 4 members of my family with Phd's; I don't have one of those.
I used to have a kilt etc. Most of the others have one. I don't really have the legs for one.
My mother was an American Scott and my father a Scott Scott living in England. It all gets very confusing.
My passport says I'm British. For a while I was European. Most would describe me as English.
I may be Spanish next year and if the party on down Catalan independence movement gets its way I could even be Catalan.
And people wonder why still have these petty tribal wars over nationality and religion.

Both Alpia & Wrold were checking out the nesting boxes this morning.
As their combs & wattles have been bright red for some time I'm hopeful ~ though Alpia was tossing bits of mulch over her shoulder.
Worrying. All my broodies do this...

Wouldn’t worry. All the Princesses do that and aren’t broody.

Funny, I have always pictured you as Scottish. I don't know why.

Och aye the noo! (And I can say that as I also have Scottish blood).

Good morning Bob, have a great day

Good morning Bob, have a great day

You too. I have been wondering, if you don't mind. Are you still working a full day? I know you work all different time zones at different times. I did while Rose was in the hospital as I had no PTO left after the wedding and honeymoon.

Someone was talking about spurs getting knocked off, maybe @Kris5902
This is Notch who managed to knock both his off.

Here he is with Donk and Knock. Surprise surprise Myth his third hen is doing a broody in the tribe's coop.
