We've got an ancestry.com account, and we're not afraid to use it. My grandmother, Marie Lucille Plouffe, once told some pretty fabulous stories about where we came from. Canada. And France before that, and Ireland in the middle, where there was a possible murderer-on-the-run scenario. Kind of exciting, right? That's why we're doing it. Because of the potential excitement, and because of the joy of discovering new things about our family, and because we live 3,000 miles apart and would like a shared project.
Who we are:
Renee is a writer in Issaquah, Washington, where she lives with her husband (Zach), children (Madeline and Simon), and cats (Beezus and Ramona). She has an MFA in creative writing, and a dream of starting an all-mom a cappella group called Momcappella. Someday, world. Someday.
Lisa is Renee's mom. She is a retired teacher in Litchfield, New Hampshire, where she lives with her Alan. ("Boyfriend" sounds too casual, or something. And also kind of strange, as Alan is 89 years old. Wait, nope, I am being corrected, here. Mom tells me that Alan isn't even 60 yet. Still, "boyfriend" sounds weird.) Lisa has two children (Renee and Michael) and four beloved grandchildren.
We're excited to get started, and we hope you'll join us. Remember, there's a possible murderer-on-the-run in our ancestry. A murderer-on-the-run. How could you possibly say no to that?
-Renee
