Interesting.)<BR/><BR/>Your family background sounds pretty fascinating too.<BR/><BR/>Btw, you should try reading, if not already, Rex Shelley's "The Shrimp People" and "The Pear People". Think you'll like those. :)Moomykinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02645551241688174119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8868408811034508455.post-16544035498360131902008-02-11T01:45:00.000+08:002008-02-11T01:45:00.000+08:00Hello Kathie, I took a wrong turning and landed at...Hello Kathie, I took a wrong turning and landed at Ann's place and was about to check out noticed your callsign, and being a kaypoh, decide to take a peek.<BR/>Wow! I'm glad I did. Your sure one eloquent blogger.<BR/>And I certainly enjoyed your this posting about the 2ndWW and your interesting ancestors.<BR/>I suspect mine had some pirates, smugglers somewhere, as well had 4 grandmothers!! Can you imagine the battalion of relatives I have...but except for Alaska, the Artic and Kabul, all scattered all over this planet. Fortunately did not marry one too inview of so many. Ha ha.<BR/>Gosh, your family sure have experts in massage theraphy, huh? My grandfathers, uncle's all did lots of legs exercises, i.e. at Cabarets, dancing with cabaret girls. Somehow their genes got into my bloodstream and I love ballroom dancing.<BR/>Your history is very good, Kathie.<BR/>Guess I'll get my ice coffee next day when free and go thru your postings.<BR/>Incidentally, mine is ahemm, mostly old stories about romance, affairs of the heart, stolen or otherwise. Just completed recently a 19 episode (took 3 weeks!) of a matured woman's love for a man half her age.<BR/>I did a post re 2nd WW too, almost similar to yours but more on the communist uprising...<BR/>Ooops, please forgive me, forgot to wish you, Kong hei fatt choy, to you and all at home.<BR/>Okay, I better get a bus and return home.<BR/>You have a nice day Kathie, keep well, UL.

Don't have to worry about publishing, printing and storing, etc. <BR/><BR/>I think if we do not repeat them, the richness of our lives would be lost, and many things will be taken for granted.. <BR/><BR/>Now I'm trying to find out more from Mike's mum. She is good at telling stories too. :)Moomykinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02645551241688174119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8868408811034508455.post-55852107685686513842008-02-05T14:28:00.000+08:002008-02-05T14:28:00.000+08:00It's pretty amazing that such stories are only fro...It's pretty amazing that such stories are only from a generation or so ago. My parents also have similar type stories with links to mainland China, and stories about how their parents made a life here in Malaysia. <BR/><BR/>My eldest sister has once said that she would like to, one day, pen-down our parents' history, to reach where we (our generation) are now...<BR/><BR/>Maybe you can start that yourself, too, Moomykin?JLowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00644532623648923417noreply@blogger.com
