I am related to Jacob See. Jacob was my second great grand uncle. He spent a few years in San Quentin for sheep rustling back in the days of yore. He ran for sheriff after getting out of prison. That takes some kind of nerve though politically, this path is on par.

But, and it nearly makes me weep as I write this...I am not related to Mary See of See's Candy fame (and fortune!). Rumor has it that she came to this country from Canada. (BL!!!)
So see? Mary See is nothing to me. And although I have been a huge (both in girth and enthusiasm) advocate of her wondrous candy goodness my entire life -- ever since having had WLS the thought of eating that candy kind of makes me want to RALPH. And that makes me sad. Alas I'll choose to suffer occasionally in order to keep peace between our countries.

Very cute. Merry Christmas!
Funny your post would go in this direction as I was having some See's candy thoughts this morning as well. Knowing what I do about families, Mary's relatives probably don't appreciate her fine chocolates. Bah humbug!
Funny :D
Love your picture wearing the scarf/cowl. You look great!
I'm sure that if you go back a little further, you'll find a relationship! After all, didn't we all come from Adam and Eve?
(and I really, really wanted to say that I actually am related to her, but, like your George Washington, I cannot tell a lie!)
I've never had See's candy. I don't even know if it's available in Canada.....
HaHa!! I have an unopened box of See's candies in a drawer.
No sheep however, a neighbor just got a few :-)
