One of the guys is her own brother. The way it usually works is that my
son drops by to visit the one cousin. They are very close. The cousin
had a business in Africa and my son went over there and worked for him
when he was 19. Sometimes the cousin's brother is in town and staying
there. The other cousin, BN's brother, lives in the area so they call
him up. They all have common interests.

She does get excluded from a lot of events for a couple reasons. One is
that she and her husband are quite a bit older. Making a pig of herself
is another one. She once dropped in on her step sister, who was
expecting company... invited company. Step sister was a very generous
hostess who loved to prepare lots of good food when entertaining. BN
was invited to stay and then she ate all the food before the guests
arrived.

She is 6 feet tall and probably about 350. About 2 years ago she had to
lose 75 pounds to get a hip replacement. She has since gained it all back.
