I'm from a very large family spanning from Hawaii to the East Coast USA. Our main means of staying in contact regularly is via the computer and internet. We have a family website which most of us visit at least several times every week. We keep each other apprised of events large and small and post current photos of ourselves and our families. Although married, I spend a great deal of my time on my own. My husband works in Alaska 6 months of the year. My pets keep me company. They also keep me sane.
