More from the Compound / Various, Nefarious Relatives

So many relatives. The excellent Anne Hobler--95 years old, my first cousin twice removed (my grandma's cousin) invited us over for a delicious lunch, and the girls had a great time with her cane:

Here's an excellent film of Miki with singing soundtrack and camera work by Ida: The girls also had a great time with Pierre LeBlanc!
And who wouldn't? I mean, he is pretty good-natured and helpful.

And speaking of good-natured, my fourth sibling, the German pet Susanne Merk traveled all the way from Germany!  Yes.


Ida was pretty disappointed that Susi couldn't speak Japanese, but they still hit it off all right.

If Anne Hobler is your grandmother's first cousin (ie their parents are siblings) than she is your First Cousin Twice removed.
