Makili met his great grandmother's sister the other day, though he slept through much of the visit. One of the most interesting things about moving to this area is that so much of Raph's extended family lives here or is from here. Makili's great grandmother had nine siblings (actually so did his great grandfather!), many of whose progeny still live in the area, though we really don't know who they are. Larry jokes that you better not make any "tobey jokes" (their last name) because you're probably talking to one of them. Still it's pretty neat to point out her house, to see the spot where his great grandparents met, where Larry spent so much time as a child, exploring the woods, going out on the lobster boats. Aunt Ruthie was very different from my relatives, but fun and I'm glad to know she's here. Hopefully we'll see more of her!
