James (Jim) A Wilson update


I am living in Canton, Ga (40 miles North of Atlanta) with my partner, Bill Grant. We have been living in Canton since 1997. I moved to Atlanta from Seattle in 1996 with my two cats Calvin and Leo. No kids. But, many cats over the years. Calvin and Leo turned 12 this year.

Bill and I have a design business. If you are interested check out grantcollaborative

I turned 50 this summer. That means you are getting older too! I had a great surprise party. Jill and her new husband Tim came from Seattle for it. Tonya and Bob from Fargo were also here. I was very touched by the many friends and family that surprised me at the party.

Monna, Dad and Elsie also surprised me with a weekend at Barnsley Gardens. A resort about an hour away. Bill and I topped off the two month long celebration by spending two weeks in Italy. What a way to say hello to the next 50 years!

What's this about

I was thinking about all the cousins, aunts, uncles, children, partners, spouses, grandparents and on and on this holiday season and realized that there was a tool we could use to keep in touch with each other. Hence, WarroadRoots. Yes, all one word! We may not have been born there or even have visited, but all roads of the extended family lead back there. So, if you want to connect with someone, let the world know you are still alive and kicking or maybe find that long lost favorite relative, sign-on and update WarroadRoots. It's an experiment. Plus, I got a new macbook for Christmas and I can't stop using it.

Enjoy!
