Good Morning<br />
Old is a state of mind -- and we will never grow old -- so don&#39;t worry Joey exercise any way you want.  Spent a wonderful afternoon with my long lost cousin and his wife -- figured out connections -- each of us learned a little history and later we were able to find ships manefests containing the names of my Grandfather in 1914 and my Grandmother and my Aunts and Uncles in 1920.  My mom was the baby and was born in the US - a reunion baby I suppose after all those years apart.  The ships were the SS Uranium and the SS New York -- there are pictures of them on the Elis Island site -- they held lots of people about 2000 each but only a hundred or so were First Class accomodations -- lots Third Class.  No resemblence to the ship that will take us around the ports of Europe is a few weeks.  I just marvel at the courage of the family in general and especially of my Grandmother who was left in Russia with 5 children and then traveled all through Asia to get the Boat in Cherbord all by herself.  AMAZING.  Oh well I&#39;m so glad that we got together for lunch and talk and we plan to keep in touch -- they live in Henderson Nevada -- but they made sure we know that they have a spare bedroon and are always welcome -- who knows maybe we can gather the whole family sometime.  Well better get to work -- have a marvelous day everyone.
