Where did I get my name you ask?  Well, my great-great-great-grandmother had the same first name.  My mom’s mom’s mom’s mom’s mom was Della.  That’s a lot of moms.

The middle name isn’t as cut and dry.  Mom and dad like the old country song Jolé Blon by Roy Acuff.  Jolee is a variation and was created by combining part of my mom Jocelyn’s name and Lee which is a common occurrence on my dad’s side.  Grandpa Lee (Leroy), Grandma KathLEEn, and Uncle Randy has the middle name Lee.  So Jolee just worked.  That’s how I got named.

I’m Della Jolee Rau.  I’m so popular I need my own website for people to keep track of everything I’m doing.  I’m going to use this blog to keep all my family and friends up-to-date on my busy life.  Here is what I got so far.

I came home about noon on Tuesday and have been getting adjusted to my new home.

I’ve been through a lot already in my short 3 days around here so I’ll try to get everyone caught up when I have some time.  Expect some more pictures.

I’m liking this life thing already so I should have plenty adventures to talk about.  Check back often.
