Oh, good to have you back. Glad you had a great time. I remember those days when I would visit my siblings and my neices and nephews. Such fond memoreis. I am the youngest of 12 children so I had many to visit.

Josh, my SIL is one of 11 children, family gatherings at his house are ALWAYS crazy! You're the youngest? Wow! Kudos to your parents!

Thanks jonsey. We had a great time. There are 5 of us left. My parents have many jewels in their Crowns. They both died in 1979 at age 89 and 85. My favorite sister had 10 children, she died at age 51 from breast cancer. She left such a legacy. If she could see her kids and grandkids now she would be so proud. They all have been successful. Her husband has since re-married and will be 80. He is still the apple of my eye. I love him dearly and all of their children. I also had a brother who had 8 children. All the rest of us had 2 and 3 children each. You can imagine what crazy times we had.
