Celebration Sunday: Genealogy Happy Dance! Lunch with Harriette



 You know the dance. You know you've done it. The one every researcher does after finding something new. The one where you want to jump up and down and shout to everyone that you found the document, contacted a cousin with the family Bible, made a DNA connection, or found a new branch to your tree. The one that is met with glazed stares and eye rolls.

                                                          Celebration Sunday is a place to share your discoveries. 
This weekly series enables everyone to tell about their Genealogy Happy Dance moment.

My Happy Dance Moment for the week:

A visit from my parents' friend had me doing the happy dance this week.

Harriette Lockhart, on the left, has memories of them, my brother, and me, from our time in Bermuda and Florida, as well as a trip to visit us in England. My dad, along with her husband, was serving in the Air Force, and we were stationed there at the same time. They kept in touch over the years.

She was visiting her sister, Julie,  and doing some genealogy research in SC, so we took the opportunity to meet for lunch.

With both of my parents gone, it is wonderful to have someone who loved them share her experiences of their friendship. 

Thank you, Harriette, for allowing me to feel them so close this week.
