Family Roots #2

I have continued work on my family roots. During this, I have learned some pretty neat stuff about my family. First off, I come from Russia, Germany and Canada. There is one family story I want to share is        about my aunt, Hillary. She and my mom wanted a dog for a really long time, and every time they asked my granparets, they said no. One time, when they had a lot of family over, they finally got a poodle! The poodle's name was Brandy. The years went by, Brandy got meaner. When Hillary was living in Wisconsin, she came home and my mom and her parents came to tell her that Brandy had passed away. This was a sad, but touching story, because Hillary's parents and my grandparents came a really long way just to tell her, and that there is a big sense of family between them.

Family roots

I've been asking people about my family, and so far, this is what I have learned. My great great-grandmother, as far as my mom knows was blind for some of her life. She was very independent. She cooked, baked, cleaned her own house, and she had no help.
One time, my mom came to her house for dinner. My great-grandmother had made noodles that day, and when they where eating, someone found out there where bung in the soup she made! somehow, little flies had gotten into the noodle box where the noodles came from. She didn't see the bugs so she cooked the bugs into the soup by mistake!
The important thing about this is that sometimes you just have to laugh at yourself. I never meet my great-grandma, but I know that she is one remarkable woman.
