Keeping Out of Trouble

Maybe you have been wondering why it has taken me so long to post something new... then again... maybe not. I, however, have been getting sick of seeing the same thing everytime I pull up the internet as Brett has set my blog as my internet home page so I know it is my cue to put up something new when I cringe at the same photo appearing over and over when I click on Safari.

But I haven't picked up my camera since Christmas so I didn't have any new pictures to share and I thought... what in the world HAVE I been doing????? oh right.... this....


This is my latest project (because we all need to take on at least ONE herculean task) of writing my family history.
I'm quite confident that my family hates me by now with the almost weekly assignments I have emailed them with (although I did take a break during the month of December). It isn't your traditional family history with old people, dates, deaths etc. This one has to do with collecting family stories, anecdotes, recipes, etc. Like the time my sister threw a book at me at church when I wouldn't share a treat with her that my secret friend gave to me, and the fact that our fridge was filled with food that had people's names on it and heaven forbid you ate something that belonged to someone else! Come to thing of it I still hide food from my husband that I don't want him to eat to be sure I get my share... I hope he doesn't check the Corn Flakes box!

Anyways, I've spent hours and hours at it this week organizing what everyone has sent me so far into some kind of coherent order. Not an easy task but I hope the end result will be worth it! I've decided that no matter how much you write of your personal history whether 2 pages, 20 or more, it is worth it to those you leave it for.


And hey... I'm already at 30 pages and that doesn't even include my dad's numerous poems or the photos that will be included.

Wish me luck!
