I don't have any cousins my age on the Farnsworth side... neither does Maryella. As a child, Maryella was very ummm.. "spirited". She must have been 6 or 7 and was giving everyone in the family fits at our reunion, so she became my special charge. Being a teenager and accused of the same "spiritedness" as Maryella, we bonded immediately. And I think we've had a pretty cool relationship ever since. Even though she towers over me now, and is this amazing young adult...I still like to feel like the "cool older cousin" who gets to hang out with Mella.
My kids were huge fans too when she took them swimming at GG & Gpa Farnsworth's!
