I'd like to get better at writing here. It's a good outlet for me; something about seeing your words in front of you that makes me think more clearly than otherwise. And
facebook and twitter just don't quite fulfill me in that way like blogger does. As much as I enjoy them, I end up feeling like I'm not modern enough for the witty one-liners.
My brother was recently up here for a visit. His children were so excited to play in the snow. When my southern family (
georgia and
texas) talk about snow in foreign terms I always wonder what it feels like to them. To me it feels like home. And I probably take it for granted. It really is beautiful.
One of the most fun things was sitting around my mom's kitchen table telling stories of when we were all growing up together. And then my brother-in-law Tim started telling stories and that took the cake. He's a great story teller. A quality that I love in people. I haven't laughed as hard as that in a long while.
I'll try to upload a video clip of Tim telling us about how his son's first job was gardening his neighbor's pot plants. Yeah, you read that right. First just a couple other videos.
