Ticia is my real life, actual factual bona fida name! (isn't it cool?)

And now for the family history (hey, you asked for it, don't complain)

My mom and dad were doing their geneology way back in the year 1976 and came across some old pictures of our ancestors. My great-great (or something like that) aunt Ticia Pearl, was the only one in the picture that was smiling. My parents had been looking for a T name, and decided that they liked Ticia, plus the fact that she was smiling was just an added bonus. She wrote poems and was much loved and adored. (kinda a like me, dontcha know!) You can find her history in the book "Baker's Dozen" but I don't remember the author.

Ti"and they say I look like her when I smile"cia
