“13 people in her immediate family”

I heard that sentence decades ago; it was spoken by the husband of my friend who was from a family of 11 kids. We were looking at a wedding picture of a crowd, when he uttered it. Yes, it was the bride, her parents and siblings.

Sometimes, I think of those 11 siblings, conjure up their spouses and grown or teen-aged kids and think, “Wow! What a workforce.” The I assign them each a job in my house and yard and sit here with my eyes closed, imagining their busy bodies doing all the chores and improvements and making me lunch to boot.
