  3. Cute picture. Before I saw his "legs" I thought he was trying to lift the log.

    1. I bet you that is how this picture started. My son is constantly trying to show how strong he is. He probably tried to lift the log and that is when my husband saw an opportunity for a great shot.

Like so many of you out there, I couldn't help myself when 23andMe dropped the price for their test to $99 last December.

Tombstone Tuesday: Maggie Mitchell Thompson --My 2nd Great Grand Aunt

Back in 2012, I visited Mt Olive Cemetery in Riverdale, NC. It's the final resting place for many from my Mitchell and Sampson family lines. At the time of that visit, I hadn't figured out what became of my 2nd great grand aunt Margaret Mitchell. She was the sister of my 2nd great grandmother Rosa Mitchell Jones of Morehead City, NC. A couple a years after that trip I discovered that she had remarried after her first marriage to Alonzo Pelham ended in divorce. She wed William Thompson on Oct. 2, 1912 in Riverdale.
