Sisters and Cousins and Daughters

One of the nicest things that happened this week was members of our family who came to help us celebrate Daughter Dawn's graduation. My Cousin Cathy, my Sister Roxy and my Daughter Mary Mae had a good giggle together sitting on the couch in Auntie Violet --

Can't you just tell by looking at them that they're all related?

It was VERY special having Sister Roxy here. She's always been a pretty special person -- even though when my parents brought her home from the hospital just before Christmas, my Dad told us she was our ONLY Christmas present!

Roxy and her husband Rich live in Olympia, Washington. She retired this year after 30 years as a nurse at St. Peter's Hospital there.
