The March of Time
As part of the continuing festivities, further members of the tribe have gathered. This includes Wife's Brother and the assorted baggage of Wife's Brother's Wife and Wife's Brother's Children. Now, I haven't actually caught on to this Uncle bit, feels rather vague and nebulous. But the last time I saw the nephew and niece, they were down about knee level.
The youngest starts college in the fall. She's dancer-thin (literally) and liable to draw considerable male attention. I'm having difficulty resetting my memories.
Everyone else is getting old, though. The outlandishly-expensive* dinner last night represented celebration of a 65th wedding anniversary. Not ours, but...
* $8.00 for a smallish creme brule** on the dessert menu? Gimme a break. The fancy Italian place two nights back, the similar item was twice the size and half the price and just as good....
** No, I'm not going to fiddle around to put the accents on that.
