God knows if I didn't know any better I could swear we were in the same place. FAMILY! you gotta love'em. I soooo feel you on how the younger generation starts to let things slide. You just made me make up my mind. I'm gonna start a bulletin for my family. That way when some stuff go down, everyone will know. I think I will start by getting up as many names, addresses, and phone numbers as I can and collecting info on a monthly basis and just putting it in a newsletter or online for the web savvy. I am glad you enjoyed your thanksgiving and hope that you enjoy the rest of your holidays even more. Much love....Z OK Leslie you sure we ain’t related?

Leslie your family sounds sooo much like mine. I come from a very large family and all the cousins grew up together. But since the passing of my aunt over 20 yrs ago there was a void in the family. Your right we only got together for the sad times. But as of the last 2 years another aunt decided that this had to stop. So every holiday and even some in between Sundays, all the cousins and aunts and uncles are at her home eating and cuttin up like there is no tomorrow. I'm glad you had a great Thanksgiving with your family. Family is very important. The funny thing too is while I was at my aunts I could see the whole compound personalities come forth. Thank you always for your insight. God Bless. OMG!! Leslie your family sounds sooo much like mine. I come from a very large family and all the cousins grew up together.

I hope everyone had a great Turkey Day. The food down south was mind blowing. I had to tell my mother that next year we just need to bring a dish b/c we all bring 4 and a pie or sweet. We ate twice just to taste new stuff that we could not fit on our plate. LOL I know u guys don't have to say and just think we all get to do it again this month. L.A. OMG my English IV and Creative Writing class wants me to tell you hello. They can't believe that u blog or email us. One of the girls in Creative writing love Myers character Edward (if she sees this she is gong to say "my Edward is real")I her told if she loves Edward wait till she reads Minion and get introduced to Carlos. I am just gonna sit back and laugh when she asks me that age old question "What happens next?'' got'em hook line and sinker!! Have a great Holiday season Everyone remember to breathe while you are in line at the store, and if they are out buy it online!! Marquita Happy Holidays Everyone!!!

When I was growing up the holiday dinners were the highlights of the year. Earlier this year I had a long, overdue family dinner after I realized how much I missed those special times with family. The kids are all grown and live out of state, but I vowed to squeeze in at least several dinners in the coming year. Yes, I had the small kids running through with greasy hands while I tried steering them back to the table, and a few toasted adults blabbing on and on about nothing interesting. But honestly... I loved every minute. It made me realize just how important family really is. Thank you for sharing and have a happy, blessed holiday season with your family. Patricia A.

I think you DO have to work harder to stay connected to the living as we get older. Otherwise, you'll find out more who died instead of who's living. I admire your family, I come from a small family, but my husband comes from a large one and spending holidays with his family is wonderful. Kinda like you described in your most recent post - it sure makes it interesting when you have people from different backgrounds come together. Well, I gotta go back to reading "The Damned". I treated myself over this holiday because I skipped one of the books in the VHL series and I just COULDN'T do that! **laughing** Blessings to you and your family Jade twitter name Jadebellydancer Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this.

It should definitely be a priority on all of our lists of new year's resolutions to spend more positive time with our families.
