welcome to the family

My brother and I just returned from a road trip to visit his grandson in Gulfport, (Mississippi not Louisiana) and to meet his fiance.  We had a very enjoyable visit and I am happy to report that my great-nephew's fiance will be an excellent addition to our family.  It's good that she's a career woman (she's an aquarist - she works with stingrays and other fishy types).  It's also good that she's tall; it's a trait that runs in our family.  And it's very good that she likes animals. At this count they have five rescue pets - two bunnies, two cats and one dog. She has a great laugh and a good sense of humor.  It helps to have a sense of humor if you're going to be involved with our family for any length of time.  But most important of all, she likes to play games.  While we were there we played an exciting game of Mexican Train (one of my brother's and my favorites). The game stretched over two evenings and was good for lots of laughs. I knew when she just happened to have a box of dominoes that she was our kind of woman.  The wedding is scheduled for March 16 which will call for another trip to Mississippi, but I guess it would be a bit much to expect them to postpone their honeymoon for a rematch.
