For Better or For Worse by Lynn Johnston for June 19, 2012

Second cousins once removed.

The only relatives of my stepmother I’ve not gotten to know are her brothers Raymond and Bryan (I’ve gotten to know her daughters, sons-in-law, grandchildren, brother Alan, sisters Diane & Doreen, parents, nieces/nephews, mother’s siblings, some cousins and distant cousins, two ex-husbands, and a son of the second ex-husband).

Had Aunt who owned Dairy Farm..cousins who lived wayout in counrty. Always a blast to visit either ones

Sounds like fun for the kids!

OUCH!

Fun and Enjoyment.

So their relatives are farm animals?

Mmmm, mud pies! ;)

Get to know your relatives so you know what kind of people NOT to marry. =)

My mother, a former farm girl, had a saying when something stressful was going on: “Ain’t had so much fun since the hogs et my brother!”

The expression on Gordon’s face pretty much says it all!

LOL!! Not sure what you’ve just put in your mouth there, Lizzie, but I hope it tastes good! :-)

Don’t knock the pigs – they are a source of replacement heart valves.

As a child, I can still remember taking little mini vacations to my great aunt and uncle’s farm in Ohio. They had a huge farm full of sweet hay and a rope swing to play on. They had cows and a lot of cats plus a dog. There was a frog pond too. And we ate fresh currents off the bush and drank clear sparkling spring water. Each summer, all the relatives travelled there for and all day family reunion. Those were the days!

However, Michael wants to “sty” at home.
