Interesting factoid...

...today Cindi and Deb went with Opa to visit the grave of Opa's father's mother, their great grandmother. Elizabeth DeVries was born in 1890. I thought about it and it drove home a truth I have long known, but never cease to marvel at. Even though Cindi is six months older than I am, I am a generation or more before her. MY great grandmother on my father's father's side was born in 1840 and on my father's mother's side was born in 1855. My own grandparents were all born years before the birth of Cindi's GREAT grandmother.
