Good morning all.  Kevin, I think we got about 6&quot; of the white stuff on our end of town.  The sun is shining now, so hopefully it will melt what is on the roads.  On my dad&#39;s side of the family, we seem to have all lost touch with each other.  My father was one of 7 siblings and there were lots of cousins but as all of those older people passed on, the cousins seem to have gone their seperate ways.  I had an elderly aunt and uncle who I was in touch with and they always kept me up to date on what was going on but as of about 2 years ago, I have been unable to reach them and eventually the number was disconnected so I am sure that something happened to them.  One of my cousin&#39;s was very big in the &quot;karate world&quot;, so yesterday, I thought to do a google on his name and I came back with several hits.  One had someone with his name who was on the board of directors of a karate association and another was a karate school and his last name was integrated into the logo.  I emailed both organizations that I was looking for my cousin with the same name and was hoping it was the same person and could they please pass my info on to him.  Late last night, one of the guys emailed me back and said that he did not have Bill&#39;s personal contact info but knew many people who were in contact with him and he would be more than happy to pass my email on to them so they could get it to him.  He sent me a pic of the man who was associated with them that was taken at a recent karate tournament and even though I have not seen my cousin in 20 yrs, I knew immediately that it was him.  It was like looking into his mother&#39;s (my aunt&#39;s) face.  I hope that I hear from him soon.  Some of the things I ordered online have arrived in the past few days, so I need to wrap presents again today.  That is one of my least favorite things to do.  I rarely use gift bags because I think Scotty and my sons enjoy the anticipation of unwrapping the gifts.  Well, the dryer just buzzed, so time to go get one load out and fold it and put the next one in....
