This page is more about myself and my family. I thought it would be nice to put a couple of their favorite recipes on here. Dick and I have 3 kids that are all grown now. There is Rick the oldest then Dan and the baby is Kim. Rick has one son Jason and Jason has one son. There is Cindi..Ricks partner of many years..Cindi has 2 daughters Courtney and Nikki. Nikki has 3 daughters. Kim is married to Ed and they have 3 daughters. We like to say that we have 2 vacations a year...each lasting 6 mo. each--that means we are both retired. Our favorite things to do is travel .. .we went to Alaska in July.. and we spend LOTS of time with our grand kids. Be sure to check out our grand kids pages. We both were born and raised in New York state and still live there. We also spend a lot of time at our summer home on beautiful Kauka lake. |

As we said Jan is working on the family tree and although she has lots of branches the tree still needs lots of work. We have both worked on it and have done lots of work on the computer. We have hit it lucky on Dicks side as he has a cousin that has worked for years on his side and we have just found another cousin that we didn't know about that took us back many generations. These are some of the surnames we are working on:
CHAPPELLE--CARNEY--FAAS--LOUDON--SHERMAN--HATTON--WADSWORTH--WISSIE--DORFNER(A REAL BRICK WALL)--VAN NORMAN--CHANDLER |
