Jamie and I are visiting teaching partners. We have been visiting the same two ladies for quite a while now. Today the lesson was on Family History, so we started to talk to one of our ladies about that and she said her late husband was Oneida Indian....this perked up Jamie's ears as her cousins are 1/2 Oneida. Julia mentioned that her husband was from Oneida, WI. So of course, Jamie and I were very interested because my sister-in-law Kim was from Wisconsin and they were also Oneida Indians. Well, it turns out that Kim, my sister-in-law went to BYU and did cornhusk dolls with Julia's sister-in-law and they knew each other here and in Wisconsin. Then Julia's late husband's aunt is Kim's visiting teaching lady. What a small world...
A sample of Kim's beaded picture frames is shown below. For some reason the pictures wouldn't go in the right direction. Sorry...Kim's Cornhusk dolls are on the bottom. Here is her link:

These pics would not turn. Don't know why. |
