Family

In case you didn't know, there are different rules for living in the country than in the city. An impromptu family reunion took place here at Mamaw's house this evening, distant relatives appearing almost at once, and from seemingly nowhere! Eight in all, and for 2 hours, a couple of which I'd never even met. A little cousin with a frog on her shirt and a tiara on her head taught me the proper way to cut an orange; another informed me he'd been here earlier and seen us napping in our chairs, and jokingly asked if I'd caught any flies in my mouth! There's a casual feel, a laid back atmosphere with far less distance between people than I'm used to, but it lends itself to a cozy sort of feeling that's kinda nice. The lack of planning ruined the opportunity for the best aspect of a reunion: the FOOD!
