A Blog Blessing

When I started my blog at the end of April, my goal was to tell my children and grandchildren about my life.  My daughter told me that she is learning new things about me.  Even my husband is founding out things.  In the back of my mind I also wanted other people to read my blog.  But I wasn't sure how my sisters and mother would feel about it.  I am very happy to say that they are enjoying it.  I also heard that one of my nephews reads my blog!  All of this pleases me very much.

My husband and I are visiting family in Arkansas.  We are going home tomorrow.  Too bad!  I spent yesterday with my two sisters, my parents, and one of my brothers-in-law.  At the dinner table, my twin sister D told me that she had read my blog entry about getting our ears pierced when we were kids.  She told us about her memory of when we were playing bullfighter and her earring was caught on the blanket.  Her memory started my mom, my sister C, and me talking about other memories.  We quickly had a great time talking about our childhood.  By the end of the day we were laughing until our cheeks and stomachs hurt!  Our mother snorted, which brought back even more memories.  My dad, my sisters, and I would always try to be funny enough to get our mom laughing so much that she would snort!  So I have received an unexpected blessing because of my blogging--a joyous day of laughter with my family!   Oh, what a wonderful thing!  Thanks, family, for Sunday, July 3rd, 2005!
