This all leaves me to think that you and Guano had each other, probably formed a tight siblingly bond as you were growing up, but how did it make Hagrid feel? He was the only child for a long time and how things must have changed when you "little ones" came along. Still, it's good to see that you remain close in spite of the age difference back then. terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12510457113017189354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168047058963833173.post-9179768196004269502013-07-12T20:46:01.082-06:002013-07-12T20:46:01.082-06:00Yeah, Edward Snowden and I'd be on the same pl...Yeah, Edward Snowden and I'd be on the same plane.

I did not know you had an older brother. Interesting to learn about how life was before the family grew. I am the youngest in my clan - older brother is 7 years older than me, but I still felt the gap. Glad to hear Hagrid is still working that 007 gubberment job and staying on top of things.agg79https://www.blogger.com/profile/08925069219602681862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168047058963833173.post-961070873978860742013-07-12T19:58:34.352-06:002013-07-12T19:58:34.352-06:00Love, love, love this story!

Instead I have a wee bit younger brother who, at the age of 43, is finally able to keep a job and stay on the good side of the law. <br />That picture is so adorable! I bet your mom loved fixing your hair. My daughter tells me now how much she hates the way I fixed her hair when she was little, yet I thought she was so cute! And after 3 boys, it was fun to do hair! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168047058963833173.post-65277433033626418302013-07-12T19:06:31.759-06:002013-07-12T19:06:31.759-06:00Awww... this makes me smile.

I think because I feel the love between you and the brothers, and that you are proud of the rarely mentioned one, too. :) It makes me think about my one and only brother who went to live with Dad after the divorce, making him not totally familiar to me either, though I saw him often during our separated teen years. Joey works for the gubberment, too...as a well loved and respectable mail carrier in the rich folks neighborhood. :) However, he's also a shrewd landlord of a few houses. At the moment, I smile as I think of him.<br /><br />Thanks for addressing my curiosity. Love the cutie pictures, Pebbles...Oh, did I say Pebbles? I meant Abby.

And yes, he's definitely got the 50lb brain goin', that guy. <br /><br />Sometimes Dad calls me Hagrid. Makes me chuckle :-) Guanonoreply@blogger.com
