            Linda, my opening line was very much tongue in cheek. At least these days I no longer have hollows in my hollows!

      Probably not but until recently, I didn’t have middle age spread either!

      Nancy (comment below) is on the ball, the tree looks like it was encased in a corset for about fifty years!

         Yes! A too tight corset!

   Haha! Is that middle age spread . . . or a tree that dates back to the middle ages?

   I think it wears its middle age spread quite beautifully! If only mine had this much dignity! 🙂

   Everything ages doesn’t it. One of the great surprises of life.

      It certainly does, Dianne. Pity age does not give us notice.

    Antrim Castle? Looks like I’ve got a bit more research to add to the family genealogy. My aunt (father’s older brother’s wife) was an Antrim descendant here in the U. S. I do know the U. S. bunch was involved in the Revolutionary war, but so far have not found the first arrival here. I wonder if there is a connection. That old tree might just be old enough to know.

          Thanks, Grannymar. Being a history buff, genealogist and generally far too curious and enjoying a good puzzle to solve, finding connections to things is always grand. Now to find that connection.
