Oh Those Blue Eyes!
My family would make two pilgrimages a year. A two week trip to Miami, Florida in the winter (usually over X-Mass and New Year's holiday) where we would visit my mother's eldest brother, Paul. Then in the summer for two months to Toledo, Ohio to visit numerous relatives. My mother was one of 9 siblings. Six sisters and three brothers. Each of these times were majical. All summer long I got to run in the grass without shoes. In the winter going from the cold and snow into the warmth and going swimming at the beach! One year we were in Miami visiting Uncle Paul and his wife Roseana and their famiy. I looked at my Aunt Roseana as if for the first time. I was struck by the incredible color of her eyes. They were the bluest eyes I had ever seen, except for one other whose eyes were as blue, Uncle Clyde in Toledo. I spoke up and said, "Aunt Roseanna looks like Uncle Clyde. All the adults laughted. It seems that Uncle Clyde and Aunt Roseana were brother and sister and they had married a brother and sister! Confused? I am!
