six degrees of american idol....

my mom just returned from arkansas where she visited with my great uncle frankie and great aunt ruth anne and found out this interesting piece of information.

my great aunt ruth anne is the cousin of carrie underwood's grandma!

which makes me and carrie underwoood - absolutely nothing.

all of my blood relations are with uncle frankie who is married to aunt ruth anne. but aunt ruth anne could still work on an autograph for her favorite grand niece - couldn't she?

aunt ruth anne said that carrie is a real stinker because last year she skipped the family reunion to go on tour....
