The family is home. Safe and sound. We have
looked at the pictures, and watched the endless video of the shrimp
boats and off-shore oil rigs...my dad will forever be hearing about the
fact that he got more [horrid] footage of the aforementioned boats and
rigs than the family and the activities of the week. Next
time someone else is taking over the camera. He is banned from
the documentation of any more family events.
I missed how my family makes me laugh. They are fun people.
Best line of the night....we were all sitting in the living room
tonight with television on [watching extreme home makeover],
conversation going on - and the phone starts ringing. There is
much discussion about whether we should answer it or not [I am a big
fan of NOT btw] and I finally say in a very loud voice ' WE DO NOT LIVE
BY THE PHONE!!!' [meaning of course that we do not have to answer
the phone - we are not tied to it and it is okay to let it ring and the
answering machine pick up]...there was a moment of silence before my
brother Sam added '...but by every word from the picture
box'....[meaning the television]Think about it - if you catch the scriptural reference you get a prize.
Otherwise you will not think it is funny at all.
I am off to bed - I am a tired girl tonight.

ha ha ha!! that is great!! quick thinking...i'd love to be a fly on the wall when the fam is all gathered together, for sure!
I totally got it.
Glad your fam is home. All's right with the world.
ryc: Craig only stayed with the family for 24 hours last week.
i love you too, Havah!!
not by bread alone but by every word that procedes out of the mouth of God....
glad they are home.
i imagine you do miss the M's.
love you
I'm glad to hear that your family is home safe and sound
I was a knitting MACHINE this weekend... I actually busted out an entire scarf (for one of the Xanga ladies) in like, 3 hours last night. It's so fun, I love it!
Do you knit, as well as crochet? If so (and this is probably a dumb question, but here goes), how does one knit a blanket? Do you knit squares or long sections, and then sew them together? Do you somehow knit the whole thing at the same time? I just can't wrap my brain around knitting a complete blanket...
So funny!
maybe my family could move in with your family...then we could share you
I'm happy they're home!!! Love ya.
LOL - that is hilarious! Glad you've got your family home again!
[arm jerk] someone already quoted the verse... (sigh) I'm so glad you got to hang with your family and have a good Sunday evening. It's refreshing to know that some families actually function well AND have fun together.
I get it! All the way from DC, too. Love this city! So happy your family is back.
Since there are so many places you feel at home and so many people that love you, maybe you should become nomadic and just travel around to each one for a period of time. We would need to think of some form of employment that would allow that... hmmm....
Love your line of the night. Too funny.
