Geminiana
Wednesday, July 8, 2009 at 10:35AM MrsRaptor, the Open Salon blogger born May 22 whom I wrote about yesterday, adds that she is a twin, mother of two sets of twins, and grandmother of twins. I suspect that genetics supplements the astrology in her family. She's also typically communicative: not only a blogger but a ham radio operator, and her English (not her native language) is impeccable. Geminis pick up languages easily because of their need to communicate. (My father was a G and spoke 5 languages. Whenever we traveled he would pull out the local phonebook, even in some podunk motel that we stayed in for one night, and find someone in it who was related to someone from his home town in Eastern Eurpoe, call them and invite them over for a drink.) MrsRaptor also make teddy bears, which is neither here nor there.
Also, check out Neeti Ray's lovely appreciation of Gemini here.

One set of twins is Gemini, the other is Pisces...which is a coincidence that I have always found to be interesting. Most of our children speak at least Lakota, English and American Sign Language. Communication is one of those things that is actively encouraged and even our youngest pair (Six-year-old Gemini twins who are deaf) communicate well.
