Yeppers! She was the last child of a family of farmers that came from the Ukraine to Canada around 1900. The town in the Ukraine doesn't exist anymore. (At the time they moved to Canada, the town was part of Austria-Hungry).

Thanks guys. I guess I should have posted this in "General" but I wasn't thinking straight. I guess to make this about kitties, I should say that my Mom and brother will be taking care of ours while we are away.

Whenever I think of the word "mother" I think of Lena. She was one of those women who was born to raise children. She had her first at 15 and her last well into her 40's

See you in a week or so.
