My family is quite small, as opposed to Mary Alice's. Both my maternal grandmother had only a brother and a sister and my paternal grandmother had only a sister. That sister, Rose, had two daughters: Janice and Barbara. Although she was my father's aunt she was so much younger than Lena that I thought of her as my aunt and her daughters, who were about my sister's age, as my cousins. They both live in Boca Raton and Alison and I visit them whenever we get down to Miami.
