I had two female first cousins who lived on the other side of my grandparents' duplex--one two weeks younger and one a year younger than I. We grew up together and shared many happy experiences together.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Jennifer,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your comments. I visited your blog. Let me say that I love your poem "Hiding in the Garden."

Among other similarities, they had a garden and made pickles, and my grandmother taught me to crochet (though I never heard of leaf-burning until I moved to the midwest!).
