Family Reunion

Tomorrow we are headed off for a family reunion, Dorothy's bunch, over in Alabama. I have been to only one, a couple of years ago. So I know the ropes. I am prepared to smile at everyone and listen to the description of who they are. Things like: this is Amanda Sue, my mother's oldest sister's youngest girl. And Harvey Lynn here is daddy's second cousin's husband. I have never understood what a second cousin twice removed means but I'll probably hear a lot of that. This is one time when being eight-one helps out. I can always fein senility and enjoy the food instead of trying real hard to figure everything out.
