Ya Gotta Love Em

Family is who you love because of, or in spite of, who they are. Sometimes it is easier than others, but mostly a good sense of humor will take care of everything. I will admit that hind sight has always been a much easier way to develop my own sense of humor than the present -- in the past.

I am proud of most of my family. They are very loving and very caring people. Most of us work in jobs that involve helping people out to the best of our ability. Some of us are very down to earth and some of us are way beyond quirky. The only two things I think we all have in common are that we are part of the family and our hearts are in the right place.

Today my brother called to tell me he and his wife are celebrating their divorce. It was finalized at 10:15, then they went out to lunch. They are coming out to visit soon.

I went upstairs to the big house to take some things for storage this morning and when I left my son was in the bathroom playing his Martin backpacker guitar for his two year old son who was sitting on the potty. It was a song with a great beat, heart warming tune and lyrics about using the toilet! Except for the words, which rhymed and were very apropos, it could be a hit.

I hear my niece finally has lights after suffering through two months of battery operated television, but now she misses the water.

My son won his second first case as a public defender, this one after he took the Bar.

My cousin is the Superintendent of Public Instruction, who likes to build houses.

My daughter finally figured out the third pedal on her car is just a foot rest in disguise.

And on it goes...
