This letter is a wonderful perk I didn’t expect from blogging.  With the author's 
permission, I’m sharing it with you.

 

Dear Neighbor Jane,

            I found your blog and have been a daily reader for a couple of months now.  I 
truly enjoy it--I read several blogs but yours is my favorite.

            I have been going to write to see if your husband might be related to me.  My 
name is Ruth Payne _______ and am originally from Lordsburg, New Mexico.  My 
grandfather, Harry Payne settled in a little town called Virden, New Mexico.  My great 
grandparents were Edward and Emma Payne who lived in Glenwood, Utah.

            I am 71 years old (oops--you have at least one fan who is an "oldie") so am 
obviously from an older generation but wonder if I might be a cousin???

            Sending All Good Wishes.....................Ruth Payne _________, now from 
________Utah.

 

            I returned Ruth's e-mail, happy she’d made the effort to connect, and 
explained that Harry Payne was Calvin’s great-grandfather.  She wrote:

 

Dear Jane and Calvin,

            What a nice coincidence--to first enjoy your blog and writing so much and 
then to find out we're related--and not too distantly!

            I think if I remember right that I found your blog through "Works for Me 
Wednesday" at ROCKS IN MY DRYER.  The first time I was on your site was when 
you showed the mailable candy gift idea.  I looked around your site and it was very 
appealing so have been a "regular" ever since.  From the start I wondered if Calvin 
could in some way be related--especially when I figured out that you were LDS.  Then 
when you gave the New Mexico connection it just had to be so.

            Calvin's grandfather (my Uncle Les) and my father were brothers. My father's 
name was Harry VEARLE Payne and he was the next to youngest child.  My mom's 
name was DONA.

            As I told you I grew up in Lordsburg, New Mexico which was about 40 miles 
from Virden where most of the Payne family lived.  When I was about 12 or 13 years 
old Uncle Les and Aunt Evalina invited me to spend a week with them on their farm so 
that I could get better acquainted with my cousins Carol and Dean.  What wonderful 
memories I have of that week.  Aunt Evalina will forever stand out in my memory as 
the perfect homemaker with her cooking, needlework and gardening skills--Jane, I 
don't know if you knew her but you would have loved her.  She epitomized everything 
on your site.  And Uncle Les was a tease--Bob (Calvin’s father) comes by it naturally 
as that seems to be a characteristic of all the Payne men.

            Uncle Les' family moved from Virden and I grew up and moved away and 
pretty much lost track of them. Please remember me to Bob and Audrey (Calvin’s folks) 
and any of the extended family you might be in touch with.

            As for us we are a retired couple (school principal and kindergarten teacher).  
We have 7 children and 20 grandchildren and in 10 months we will celebrate our 50th 
wedding anniversary.  We moved to __________ a couple of years ago to be near one 
of our daughters and also medical care.  My husband has Parkinson's disease, but is 
doing quite well right now and life is good.

            Sending Love and Good Wishes to you and your family............A cousin, Ruth 
_________

 

            Blogging might not have raises, benefits or insurance packages attached, but 
this was a payback worth writing for.  I’m so glad Ruth made contact.  Calvin’s 
grandparents died before we married and it was fun to hear about them through her 
memories.  (It was a huge relief to know Calvin's teasing is genetic and I'm not 
responsible to fix it.)  And Ruth’s sign off, “Sending love and good wishes,” makes me 
warm every time I read it.
