Norwegians and Germans

[Guest guest]

Cindy, Back 16 generations? Does that reach Leif sson? Yes, I use

Family Tree Maker, and all the pertinent data bases of Ancestry.com.

Chuck is German plus. The following is his modus operandi:

I am fearful of leaving him alone, considering possible ministrokes,

falls, and choking. He refuses to have someone come to stay with him, but

last week, our son came over to give me a day out, after I complained

that it wasn't fair to me that Chuck was so bull-headed about a

companion. Before I left, I told him not to do too much physically and

NOT to wash the dog when no one else was around.

I went to the Vesterheim Genealogical Center in Madison Wisconsin, where

I spent the afternoon looking at computers and at index file cards, and

came up with nothing. When I got home, get this, what greeted me was a

very very wet dog, no son, and a sick husband in the shower with the

other dog. And Chuck was so proud of all the jobs they had gotten done

around the yard while I was gone, he couldn't stop talking about them all

evening, and, of course, he was exhausted. I was so disgusted I wasn't

talking to HIM.

Yes, I know. He was trying to show me that he wasn't THAT sick. Gott n

Himmel!
