Heritage

I'm really into my heritage.  I've always wanted to know about my ancestors - who they were, and where they came from.  My father is Greek, and my mom would often make dishes for dinner that were passed down to him.  A couple of years ago when Jess said she was going to Greece, I was overwhelmed.  A chance to see the beautiful culture that goes back for so many years.

I hope you've enjoyed the little piece of Greece we've shared.  When Jess went there, she tried to get in touch

with our relatives, but they only spoke Greek, so they didn't know how to communicate with her.  I hope to visit there too.......maybe someday.
