I do miss the days when I was young and all my family members were living, My grandmother and her two sisters would travel with their families to visit with their mom and dad (my great grandparents).  There were 12 children/teenagers and then me, the very first grandchild.  My mother was the practical joker. She used to target her cousin Kelley at every family gathering. The boys climbing the big oak tree in the backyard and then pulling the girls up the tree with chains wrapped around a lawn chair.  Me  (when I was 5) sneaking through the bushes which separated my great-grandparents driveway from their neighbours.  I found a truck with the keys in the ignition and kept trying to start it up because I wanted to go for a drive.   Thank heavens, it was a standard and I got caught.  LOL

 I don't think there was ever a moment without chaos.

My great-grandparents, my grandmother, her two sisters, and seven of the 12 children are deceased.

I do miss the good old days.  Thanks for trip down memory lane, MCM.
