You know there is a baby around your house these days, when the laundry changes.
A baby bib had found its way attached to my drawers!! ( undies, for none southern people) ( Knickers for my Brits) It just made me laugh, its the most simple things, look for them.
Now for my two blogs, maybe three all stirred in the pot.
I may just write one today, but if you know my brain, I will wander.
I wrote one on Saint Paddy's Day, and dreamt of Ireland. I put on the Three Tenors Irish CD, and sang to my bonny best, to that baby with the lost bib!! Download it if you don't have a copy, its still March, get your Irish on. I love Irish music, it requires me to close my eyes for some reason and tap my way around the world. Not Lord of the Dance tap, but an Irish jig will seep into my feet with such ease. I think my name, Bonnie, lends me to these people. ( My hub would say, I lean towards all people!) I do lean!! I am drawn to the color green. I think it is the only crayon in the box, that smells like its color. I cant smell blue, purple, orange but I can smell green. I close my eyes and smell Ireland. ( I smell France also, but that for sure is a blog on its own!!) So on this holiday, that gets rid of all snakes, another plus, I tap, and sing. Try it. ( I refrain from drinking like an Irishman, but I have had my day!!)
Well, this holiday, that I embrace, near to my heart, because I was sure Scottish and Irish were in my blood, my people. Until my DNA came back!!
I asked for a DNA kit, for Christmas. National Geographic have an ongoing study, that is so much fun. I spit in a tube and thought about what a not fun job that is!! I appreciate all the jobs in the world, I salute the receiver of spit.
Many weeks later, I had my results, maternal side.
My percentages are highest in German/Russian and French 36% ( Eastern Europe)
Southwestern Europe 27%, comes my Spanish/Portuguese side 27%
Northwestern Europe 25%, my Brits, Scots, and Irish ( My people)
And back to Northeastern Europe 6% back to my Russian, Finnish and Scandinavian
Asia Minor 5% I think I skipped though this area, I was well traveled.
They found some of my Neanderthal bones in a cemetery in Israel, which explains my 16% Jewish DNA. It is all so exciting.
I began this journey in Africa, at the very North West corner, near the water and the desert, I was happy with the heat millions of years ago, and the sea began my jaunt.
It seems, that last DNA to leave Europe, about 500 years ago, was from Sweden, Denmark area, which is interesting. How I made it to the swamps of Florida, well that is for more research and updated data files. Family history, all our maps are different, and yet connected.
We are all immigrants, there are no borders in space, we are planet earth.
Hope you get a chance to explore with your feet, and your DNA.
Now I had a third blog, but I will save for another day, its about the movie Beauty and The Beast. Go see it and then we can talk.
Happy Monday, Spring has arrived, I think?
