Here is my try at the Groove Challenge for Sept.


My sister and her family took a trip to the Black Hills in South Dakota a couple of years ago. They had their pictures taken in costume. These are two of the pictures. On the left is my nephew Troy and on the right is my niece Caris and her daughter Kari. They sure look like they belong in that era!


I don't know if anyone is familiar with the show Deadwood, (a little too much bad language for my taste) but these pictures were taken in Deadwood and we are distantly related to the real Al Swearengen of the Gem Theatre on the show.
He was my 3rd cousin 3 times removed. His real name was Ellis A. Swearengen if anyone is interested.On the show I think they have him as English or Scottish, but he was actually of Dutch descent. (One of the more infamous relatives) LOL.
