I'm the last of the Mohicans.<br /><br />My late brother had three children. One nephew and I get on, but he and his family live elsewhere...a distance from where I live so our physical paths cross infrequently. We communicate via Email and social media; and phone calls.<br /><br /> His brother is a bit of a loner. He hardly speaks to anyone! He only rings me about once in a decade! <br /><br />Their sister wiped me out of her social calendar about 10 years ago for reasons known only to her. But I think if I won the jackpot in the Lotto her attitude would change. She could be in for a shock! ;)Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11335434.post-23924485018761406192014-12-03T09:55:17.677-06:002014-12-03T09:55:17.677-06:00I live far enough away from my conservative relati...I live far enough away from my conservative relatives, and they are really moderates pretending to be against socialist government, that we can get along for the short times I visit. My other blood relatives are very close to me. My son is the toughest call as he has some bad habits that I am hoping he will outgrow soon!! But we avoid arguing in front of others.
