Thicker Than Water

This summer I had the wonderful opportunity to spend time with my Uncle Milton and Aunt Thelma in Pennsylvania. I went a few days earlier than I needed to be there, just to have some time with them. I wasn't sure exactly what might be able to do, but one of my dreams was fulfilled when we visited the area of New Jersey where the Hoffmires had lived in the 1700s. It was a great experience to see the church where their babies had been christened and their daughters had married, especially being with someone else who was as interested about such things as I am. I learned a lot about my family this summer. Those living and those who have gone on before.
