Maybe, just maybe...

My Uncle Harry says that we might be descendants of W.B. Yeats. How cool would that be? [My maiden name is Yates.] As you may know, Yeats is a well known poet, and he is known for helping to found the first Irish theatre society. While Dena was visiting, we went to see Thoor Ballylee. Yeats bought this Norman tower and used it as a summer home. Dena and I took the tour of the tower and were very interested in this room. The room looked clean until we uncovered the dust hidden under the rug. And we thought, 'hey, maybe we are related'...
