Not in the least do I feel you are intruding, Ann. Quite to the contrary -- your participation has made my day. Thank you for joining in.
Rest assured, I was well aware of my Native blood in 2014, and I was not intentionally trying to mislead anyone, nor ashamed of who I am.
If you were to talk to my children, they might confess to you that at times, in fact, they must be thinking, "Put a cork in the Indian thing, already, Mom. We're sick of hearing about it."
I am an "Empty Nester" now, with a grandchild of my own. All the children are grown and gone, and I have more time and energy to devote to things like this!
