Thoughts and stories, by Pal

This is a very interesting article, and gives you great ideas on how to hold your family together.  Talk to them!  Tell stories about your family, your ups and downs, etc.  I need to do that more on this blog.  I have told many family stories in the past, which can be found in the "labels" column but I haven't told many stories that are happening right now.  Of course, some stories are not to be told publicly!  But I believe it will be a new direction for me! For instance, today is my beautiful granddaughter's birthday! Amanda and her husband Brent are so full of life, and love of this beautiful world, they have traveled a lot to see many unique places.  This picture was taken in Maui, Hawaii.  What an adventuresome live they are living, and will have!
