There's always some drama unfolding with that many in the mix. <br /><br />My kids have all of four cousins and that's probably all they will have (all boys). My brother is in Switzerland, so hard to get together with him. Duluth isn't that far, you make it sound like a foreign country! Well, you could argue that case.swissmisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11091563100968996825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932831182639117728.post-47599380283808257852009-07-14T13:56:39.230-06:002009-07-14T13:56:39.230-06:00That's a pretty great report, Swissie!Given th...That's a pretty great report, Swissie!Given the century, your Mom's family are probably good candidates for "Family O' the Year.<br /><br />My Mom had three sisters (a brother died in a car accident when he was about 20.) All the sisters stayed in Duluth. One became a Benedictine nun and under the old rules we couldn't communicate more than once a year. <br /><br />But my Mom and her other two sisters must have chatted just about every day. I never could figure out what they had to talk about. <br /><br />I've tried to keep my brothers and sister (another sister died young) together, be we are separated by states (California) and miles (Duluth, St. Paul, Mpls) and it just doesn't work out well. We get along on holidays but rarely see each other or talk between them. <br /><br />I thought the Internet would be great for communicating, but it is tough to get much more than one sentence out of two of them. My brother in California and I are pretty close, electronically.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08332138030182107580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932831182639117728.post-51667621018455968212009-07-14T08:16:20.142-06:002009-07-14T08:16:20.142-06:00"*I've been asked to pray *hard* since se...<i>"*I've been asked to pray *hard* since several elderly aunts are in poor health."</i><br /><br />Praying for them.Vincenzohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15204262882202051257noreply@blogger.com
