Kennett Square

Hi there.
Cousin #6 has sold his house in Kennett Square. If you remember he got re-married last year. His wife had a house and he had a house and they built a house in Rehoboth Beach. Well he sold his house in Kennett Square and when we were talking
(the cousins and I talk every two weeks in a Zoom meeting and I can tell you more about that if you want)
he mentioned he was working to empty the house. He had a pile to go to Rehoboth, a pile to sell, a pile to donate, and a pile to toss.

So I said if he had anything from Slatington that he was getting rid of I would be interested.
He offered me Aunt Arlene's bedroom set. It's beautiful.. He had repaired it and re stained it and it looks just like I remember.
Daughter #4 and I went to his house today and picked up the bed and the mirror. The dresser is in Rehoboth, and I will get it in a few weeks.

So I know you are thinking oh my goodness Karen you don't need another bed but here's what I am doing.

Our guest room has a queen size bed with a bed frame from Ikea. I will put Aunt Arlene's bed frame in its place.
When Lenessa moves out she can take the Ikea bed  with her. She brought her mattress home from college, but it only has the metal frame with feet. No headboard etc.
We got home around 2pm. Brought two Italian hoagies from Heritages with us. Then I had church work to,do. I got everything in order for my email: worship service guide, announcements, sparks for the kids.
Gotta remember to email it Friday morning.

Husband and I went to The Red Hen in Swedesboro for dinner. Which was dumb, cause we weren’t very hungry. We sat at a table on the sidewalk, because NJ still doesn’t have indoor seating. Good thing the weather is nice, right? What if it was December? 

He had a burger with cheese and bacon and an onion ring on top. I had fries with a cheese sauce and crab meat. And a little plastic cup of sangria. Lots of ice and fruit, very little sangria. Oh well. We brought most of it home.

I’ve been working on family genealogy. I’d really like to try to figure out who my father is. Since it’s not Donn Hettell. I have three cousins identified by DNA tests. LeeAnne is a second cousin. I text with her frequently. Pamela and CCarouso are third cousins.  I have texted with Pamela back-and-forth a number of times. CCarouso doesn’t answer any messages. And I’ve been checking names against my DNA test and I found a fourth cousin - Anthony Perino. I have found our common Grandparents and great grandparents and I’m slowly working on a chart with everybody’s name. I have included their birth and death dates, their spouse, where they lived, and where they are buried. It’s amazing how many people have no burial records and no obituaries. I try not to get sidetracked with her a lot a little rabbit holes to fall down.

Ok.  Enough for now. 

 Stay safe at home!

Smooches!
