Ancestry

You can find the definition of ancestry here; but we all know that basically its means our history, who we came from. Well first in line our my parents, Jack and Sheryl. And then of course my grandparents, Jack, Mary, Bob, and Myrtle (yes, Myrtle), who were all unique and fantastic in their own ways. Only Myrtle is still with us, and even then, she really isn't "with us" because she has Alzheimer's, so she is off in her own little "Neverland". But as we like to say, "she's as happy as a clam". Which by the way, what does that even mean, 'happy as a clam'?

Okay, sorry, not the point of this post. Anyways, I wanted to let you all in on a little piece of Myrtle's life and the cool woman I partially came from. She was a bowler, and a quite good one at that; I'm not sure I inherited those skills - based on the last time I played!

So if you go and visit the National Duckpin Bowling Congress site, and look on the Superior Performance page, you will see my grandmother's name on the right hand side: Myrtle Liphard, Baltimore, MD - 1998.

Way to go Grandmom!
