My aunts and uncles

Here is a list of my Mother Clay's sisters and what we called them:

• Ida Charlie ("aunt Ida")
  
• Lector Leon ("aunt Leon")
  
• Parmellia Zell ("aunt Zell")
  
• Augusta Aaron ("aunt 'Gusty'")
  
• Essie Elizabeth ("aunt Essie")
  
• Eutha Lee ("aunt Euthy")
  

and her brothers:

• Curtis McCurry ("uncle Mac")
  
• Ransom Lawrence ("uncle Lawrence")
  
• John Robert ("JR")
  
• Dunaway (died at a young age).

I'm sitting beside her bed at St. Michael's hospital. When I asked her to tell me her sister's names, she refused at first. I have always found their names interesting.
Mother has always been very sensitive about her name. She's insulted when someone assumes that "Clay" is a man's name. (I haven't put her other name here, though she probably wouldn't know unless I told her.)
Do you have any interesting names in your family?

Family Picture

Here we are at Shawn and Jennifer's for our annual "Cousins Party". One notable fact is that I did no retouching this year. In years past I have had to cut and paste someone in that didn't make it.

Look-alikes

This is one of my favorite pictures. It's still a mystery to me how daughters can look like their fathers, and still be beautiful!
