Our Three Endure Hardships to Accomplish a
Cross-Country Family Experience (1977)
In spite of our shortcomings, we behold our three offspring and can only feel happy and thankful, whatever their present circumstances, to have them in our fold and their friends too.
Baby Sis, Middle Sis, and Their Friends
Cathy and Judy
At our recent get together, we were joined by several of their friends and listened to reminiscences of times past. We got step-by-step how to manually strangle a cheating spouse; how to enjoy the ambiance of a gay resort though heterosexual; how to survive a reckless driving ticket (82mph in a 45mph zone...and you thought that would go unnoticed?); how to deal with mentally-compromised adult trick-or-treaters who show up a day early at your house way back in the woods. Those are just a few highlights. You had to be there holding your sides laughing!
There Were Lots of Good Stories
Time and again people tell us that is is rare for families to want to be together, to want to help each other, and to truly show their pride in each other. Even though we know we made missteps in parenting, Husband and I love what has resulted.
The Three Sisters
I totally forgot about the challenged trick or treater...but will never forget the strangulation story.
