Independence Day...

Happy Independence Day

from

the back of beyond!

Remember how we got here, be thankful for your freedoms.

Also I want to wish my crazy, wonderful, red headed, twin cousins a Very Happy Birthday. Two firecrackers born on the fourth of July!

Elephant tales and Laughter...

 Simply put, I made a remark to my father this morning, to which he said " That was a smart ass remark!"  

"I am my father's daughter" I replied.

He looked at me with that spark in his eyes, hugged me, and said, "You sure as hell are."  We understand each other well. 

We seem to run to a certain kind of women in our family.  The red headed twins, my cousins, dad's brother's kids, stopped by today. It has been way too long since I have seen them.  They were on the way from Oregon to Frisco to watch the Niners play.  We laughed, and the banter flowed freely. Pictures were taken, and stories were shared.  Tales of three women who have seen the elephant.*
