"Are you twins?" they ask at the local butcher shop..."NO!" Junknitter proudly replies..."I'm actually three years older."But she, the sister, is no less wise. Showed her how to knit and she picked up like a pro. Shlubs and all.
While visiting the baby sister, she gave me a book on our family's history that was published in 1954 and tracks one side of the family back three hundred years, to the "midlands" of jolly old England...it explains a lot about the stock Junknitter comes from. One old guy had a wife, Elizabeth, and they had six children. Elizabeth died when he was 83. He was so lonely for her that he married another Elizabeth who was 30 and bore him six more children! This was in the early 1800! He died happily at 96. Coincidentally Junknitter is one of six! All of us with impressive double chins, and royal foreheads.
