The Golden Girls

Ben's Aunt Myrna had a luncheon at her house on Memorial Day. I la-hove Ben's aunts. Gloria is one of five sisters, and when they get together, it's like they're all little girls again. They giggle and hug and just have the best time. They go on trips together, just "the sisters," all the time. I love it. It's how I picture me and my sisters when we get older. Ben's cousin's husband calls them The Golden Girls, which is so great. I loved that show.

I finally learned how to play dominoes under The Golden Girls' tutelage:

I've always wanted to learn. It was nice to sit. I like sitting.


After playing for awhile, everyone settled in to chat. Ben's aunt Joyce and cousin, dang-it-I-can't-remember-her-name:

All of Gloria's family have very, very olive skin. And all of their kids do, too. Ben stands out with his bright white skin. :) Every now and then, though, someone who doesn't know Ben was adopted says, "Oh, you look JUST like your mom!!" We think that's funny, because it's so not true!!

Here we have my buttocks and Micah playing with something:

We left after just a couple of hours, because I felt really crummy and needed to rest.

I used to always jog through Myrna's neighborhood, not knowing that was where she lived. When I jog again in four-and-a-half months or so, I can make pit stops at her house to say hello.
