About Me

Mimsie
Hamilton Hill, WA, Australia
I am 88 years of age, having been born in 1932. I am a wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and a bit of an all round twit. Over the years I have done quite a lot of family genealogy and unearthed some family secrets which has been great fun. I am married to a great husband (second time around has worked for me); I have a daughter and a son, four granddaughters and two grandsons, and five great-granddaughters plus a lovely step-great-granddaughter in New Jersey whom I have never met although I have seen her on Skype. I have had two total hip replacements (June '08 and January '09) but as I have an extremely bad back (neck to tail) and a knees that won't behave, I still can't get about very much so am a stay at home. Maybe that is why I decided to take this drastic step and begin my own blog. Will I keep it up? Goodness alone knows, only time will tell but here goes anyway. I don't have a lot of followers but those I do have are very precious to me.
