Kitty, have you ever known any family without warts?  Mine is like something 
out of a Tennessee Williams novel. <LOL>The last time I hade Thanksgiving 
dinner with my siblings was when my mother, who had already had a stroke, 
and my very eccentric aunt were still alive.  The scene belonged in a 
play -- truly.
