Disagreement

My dear young cousin does not like President Obama and does not trust him. 

She was concerned that I would not want her to comment on my blog.  (I did publish one of her negative comments on Obama, but after a certain number of days comments go to the foggy bottom of cyberspace.)

I welcome different opinions because we learn from each other.  We can love each other and respectfully disagree.

So, dear cousin (you know who you are), I love you and I disagree and comment away!!!  I will comment right back!

Sisterly love and torment

So, back when my sister was dating her now husband, I would of course tell him, “look I am not getting any younger and I want to dance at my sister’s wedding!”.  So, I am at the gym having a training session at the same time my sister is working out.  She interrupts me with this awe-struck look on her face and I know, I KNOW, that her boyfriend proposed.  She motions to whisper in my ears.  Excitement builds — I think, Mom, I wish you were here for this moment.  She whispers that the man next to her on the elliptical machine blew his nose on the floor and it was so gross that she had to tell me.  This is why I love my family.  It is always a David Lynch type Hallmark moment.
