My great aunt Mary is insanely cool.

She's an artist... and she has a ton of things in common with me.

In a way, I found that surprising because she's not really *directly* related to me.
Well, My dad's father's mother, My great grandmother, a woman by the name of Margaret Brown, married a man named Lloyd Emmett Remington, my great grandfather.
Lloyd, however, was a drunk (and on his death certificate, literally everything is listed as "unknown", even his date of birth, even though they had a birth certificate for him... that was all because he was a drunk, basically).

Lloyd died fairly early... He was 50 when he died.
So, Margaret Remington... remarried a man named Robert Fox Thomason.
Margaret had children with Lloyd, including my dad's father and my other great aunt, who is no longer living, Mimi.
With Robert, Margaret had Mary Thomason, my great aunt.

So... That's how she's related to me xD.

I've been talking to her a lot on Facebook and E-mail.
She's 61, and probably one of the coolest people I have ever met. It's too bad she lives so far away, though... She's in California. I'm in Minnesota.

She's got such a great personality ^.^
Almost childlike in spirit, or something... She's very imaginative and creative (well, she is an artist!).

Her husband, David.. He doesn't talk much (he's kind of shy, I guess?), but he's got a British accent. I think it's so cool . (but not in the obsessive fangirl "omg british accent" sort of way!). Idunno, it's just that... different accents are just interesting to listen to. And David has such a calm sort of accent... It's kind of... soothing?
Well, he is old, but.. idunno . It's just interesting.


Hmm... I wonder if Mary will be in town for any holidays anytime soon? c:
My aunt, Gail, is so amazing for getting us all together (on my dad's side of the family)!
I really first met Mary last labor day. We got together at Gail's house and Mary and David were there.
Mary had just been back from Japan (where she go A LOT! lol) and she had cool Japanese candy for all the kids, and me! (cuzz... technically I'm not a kid! I guess... I'm an adolescent lol~!)
Anyway, it was the first time I met her with any remembrance. Apparently, she had been around and I was with her when I was really little, but I was like infant/toddler so I wouldn't have any recollection of it all anyway.

Well, Idunno. There really isn't much to say for now.. just.. I have the coolest great aunt ever ~!
