PLEASE CAST YOUR VOTE!
We just got back from a fabulous family reunion in Wisconsin! I'm kicking myself that I didn't take thousands (or even any) pictures to post here. The kicking became even harder when I thought about how nice it would be to have our own family blog--kind of a central location for everyone to get into with announcements, updates, photos, etc to keep us better connected.
So cast your vote on the sidebar here--sorry I didn't put an option there for you to kick me, too. If there's enough interest I'll wrangle Greg and John to see if they can work some photos in for me.
Memo to: Her Excellency-Best-Sister-In-Law-in-the-World (and anyone else): I won't be able to post a blog next week because I'll be at the writers conference in PA. Please pray for safe travel and that I learn what I need to learn. But DON'T be yelling "When's she going to blog something?" And, Tammy, thank you for leaving a comment and having a nice little talk with Aaron. He is a good kid.
Our family reunion was held at the house I grew up in. It's now a Bed & Breakfast! Their website is www.willowpondevents.com if you're interested. One of my favorite times was sitting on the front porch on a perfect summer morning having a delicious breakfast and good conversation with Gwen, Patti, and Auntie Betty. I also enjoyed cheering my head off and blatantly cheating in the "Going to Grandma's" relay. And the boat races, the slide show, the duck races, the food, the food, the food, and many other moments that I didn't cheat, like Anjee's puzzle contest in which Kristin and I took 2nd place, only like 3 seconds behind Brianna and Valerie, I'm not bitter.
Enough of the run on sentences. Thanks for checking my blog. Check back in a day or two to see how the vote is coming along. Have a great week!

what a great idea...(good thinking)i will pass your email along to Melanie and Kathy and Auntie Millie(they'll really be interested) because i have their email addresses.
p.s. don't kick yourself even though it was meant to be understood.(i read a short book on kindness and it says you must be kind to yourself first)(like i remember that either). practice breaks a bad habit. (weird thought: habits are the old term for hats. some people like to think we wear "hats" on our heads like different roles in our lives. i personally think wearing hats for different roles is confusing and frustrating and that is never good. hows that for some food for thought?
John, now you've got to read "How the Big Ugly Monsters Got Big Sharp Teeth"--another of my tales--only this one doesn't contain any relatives. (Now that I think of it,I could easily revise it to family history--ha ha ha-- Big Sharp Teeth. . . Jaws of Death . . . monsters . . .family. . . hmmmm :)
As for the corrupt Chicago branch of the family--bring it on! We're taking bets on the vote, votes are for sale if you know the secret password.
