We all got along great but the age difference meant we didn't share a childhood experience with the two youngest in the family.Rick Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01005727239466916086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-89048197901649571362016-11-17T21:10:48.963-05:002016-11-17T21:10:48.963-05:00Maybe because I was an 'only' child, I'...Maybe because I was an 'only' child, I've always been fascinated by families with several (or more) children ... and could sit for hours watching their interactions.<br /> <br />Silly me, presuming because someone shares another's genes they should be 'best buddies.' My BF's sisters are twins, but to this day, they each pretty much go their own way. <br /><br />Love seeing the olden shirtwaist dresses; that reminds me of my mother!Mevely317https://www.blogger.com/profile/14786988262452989091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-25645219835696334042016-11-17T17:00:36.795-05:002016-11-17T17:00:36.795-05:00You sure resemble Otis and Jr, some.

I think all families have moments like that, whether large or small families. Everyone has imperfections, that's what makes life so interesting. No matter what, we have a choice to either wake up happy or miserable. I hope to always choose happy.<br />Love n' hugs from up north. Still warm today, enough to transplant Mom's house plants outside instead of inside.

Maybe there was some of that with your older brothers that would not nec. have trickled down to the younger children. They kept it cordial though, which says something about them.2023https://www.blogger.com/profile/06090347339729432098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-64526648976852698572016-11-17T12:54:01.982-05:002016-11-17T12:54:01.982-05:00The old pics are great, love seeing the Navy unifo...The old pics are great, love seeing the Navy uniforms, especially the one posted yesterday with the two in their "whites"!

I like being around both.<br />I also enjoyed staying with Jr. in his shop...that was fun. I painted all samples that was displayed on his wall. I have pictures of USSNC that Odis built. I had the ship but let his Grandson have it because it meant so much to them.

When they were children they were but time and distance does make a difference. Still when they all get together they always seem happy and enjoy reminiscing over their childhood. Your stories about your brothers is a good way to keep the family history going. I think that is important.

At least when they got together they were pleasant with each other. I know hubby's parents both came from big families and there were some they were closer to than others, but most of that had to do with others being involved in activities they might not approve of. My mom and one of her sisters got into a bit of a "tiff" one time and didn't speak to each other for a few years, only to be reunited at my grandmother's funeral and them realizing how silly the "tiff" was. <br /><br />So true about that comment about who loves the most forgives first. <br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.com
