Family.. Tuesday 4

Hi. Hope you are all safe and healthy.
Here is Tuesday 4. I hope you will join in.
 


  1.What family member do you most resemble in looks or personality and/or which one resembles you most? 
The Little is my clone. We look so much alike its uncanny.
I see myself in  the famous anonymous and the little  personality wise too.

2.What jobs did your father and/or mother have when you were growing up?
My father was vice president and chief chemist of a large chemical company. My mother was a registered nurse.
Later in life they bought and owned a little store.

3. Did your parents make a big deal over holidays and if so, how did they do it?
In their own way. Back then I think things were done more simply than today.
Everyone came to our house for Thanksgiving and on New Years Eve everyone stopped by to have canapes and snacks, etc before going out. There was a constant flow of people in and out.
My mother and grandmother were great cooks and we never lacked for dinner company.

4.  What do you like most about your family or in laws/ or what do you not like? 
My mother in law was a wonderful person. I was pregnant the same time she had her last pregnancy. My sister in law was the same age as my first son.
Here is a very short piece about her. 
I have 8 brothers and sisters in law and something like 118 nephews and nieces., both regular and great.  I love them all.

  7. Your parents were successful and good role models. Well I must admit that is very different about the pregnancies! You definitely have a very large family.

  8. It is nice to learn more about you, Annie! My best freinds from childhood both came from large families of 10 and 9 children. I wondered why my parents only had 4?
