Roughly 2 years ago, I was introduced to a 3rd cousin, Dawn. We immediately found out we had a lot of the same interest, and what was different we were both interested in learning more. On our Route 66 trip last fall, we came back by her town in Colorado which strangely has the same name as my town here in Kentucky!

Picture #2 is our all-time favorite "Marquise" from the same Diamonds booklet. It was done in various shades of pinks and rose. These pictures are not good…
