I remember looking at a picture of my great grandmother and thinking that she looked old, only to turn the photo over to see that she was the same age as me at the time.

Recently a death notice of one of my father's cousins who I don-t think I had ever met made me count the number of first cousins Dad had on both sides of the family and I came up with over 50 names. I have only met a fraction of them unless some meetings was when I was a child and I don;t remember. A lovely story.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7396178747528220061.post-10267999713339559922014-08-02T14:10:34.465-04:002014-08-02T14:10:34.465-04:00I've lost touch with relatives too and keep ho...I've lost touch with relatives too and keep hoping they'll pop back up via the internet.

(I guess there was no Mary Kay back then. LOL) The little girl with Ann might have been a cousin since they were dressed alike for the photo.
