Humpday Triviola Time

If I was traveling through Louisiana and I happen to see The Seven Sisters, I might be looking a a constellation. But I'm not. What am I looking at?

Re: Humpday Triviola Time

The wives of the 7 brothers? (ducking and running ;-))

- - -

I have been woodworking for about 25 years now, and would consider myself an enthusiastic amateur. My claim to fame (or infamy) has always been fixing stuff. I spent time in the Air Force in the 60's then went to work as an electronic technician for civil service. I finally got my EE, and being fed up with the civil service nonsense, took a job with Ford Motor Company until I went with the split to Visteon last year. I got interested in music and started playing in a bluegrass band. I wanted a new guitar, and that kind of led me into woodworking. I bought some books, a few tools, and built a guitar. Luckily, I didn't know any better than to try that as a first ever project. I still play it when I get a chance, so it must not be too bad if it can live for over 20 years. After a stint in Mexico for my job, I moved into a new house and built a small shop. Since then I have been collecting tools and skills, probably more of the former than the latter ;-). Finding this site has done more for my skills and enjoyment than anything else. I have learned a lot and really enjoy the friendships that I have made here. I have been married to LOML (Lori) for 32 years now and have 6 kids. When they are all gone, I want to get a 1 bedroom house (so there is not room for them to move back in) and at least a 6 car heated/air conditioned garage for a shop. (Dream on...)

As they say in N'Orlns. Come from a decent family but this branch are a bunch of skraggly old girls who simply won't let you get close. Pity.

Hint

The Seven Sisters is historically rooted in Mandeville, Lousiana.

Family tree!

If my family tree looked like this one, I'd probably register with some national organization.

This was my guess. http://www.ph-rose-gardens.com/00106.htm

No comparison with the tree though.
