I'm sorry to all my readers for writing about "downer" subjects in the last few posts.
First of all, it's Monday and I don't feel bad. I'm comfortably numb and only mildly concerned of what this new day will bring me. Mildly concerned is just fine and perfectly normal, don't you think?
I went to my parents place this weekend. They live 200 mi. NW of me in Wisconsin. It's 1/3 of the way through April, and Wisconsin was still getting snow flurries. Hey, but it's my hometown and I was glad to be there if only for a day. I was really happy because (did you hear that???? "really happy" I said) my brothers Bill & Jerome and sister Kathi were all there and I wasn't expecting to see them. I had to listen to Kathi & Jerome talk conservative politics, and I was about ready to walk out of my parent's house, but hey, if that's the price I have to pay to see my siblings well I guess I will happily pay it. Then Kathi decided when coming to Dad's birthday party (he's 83) to show off her lacy bra. I was aghast. Kathi is very thin, very prim and very proper. So to see her fail to have her shirt halfway unbottoned rivaled the absolute shock that my niece is going to have triplets and she already has 3 kids. & she already has stopped working because she's so big. Poor, poor Annie!!! How in the world will they manage. But then again, "If God is for us, who can be against???"

Glad to hear you managed to meet your family members. And it's also still snowing here in Sodankylä ha ha ha ha...It's really a snow village he he...
TRIPLETS?!?!?!?! Oh dear...it must've been SO tough, esp. as she has 3 other kids. Oh dear...I hope everything works out for her then. Must be quite a challenge!!!
What did you expect, when conversations there turn political? Also, why mention the underwear incident? As far as triplets are concerned, we'll see. I have sympathy too, but not necessarily the same direction you have yours in.
I'm not sure when you ask about underwear.
you mean where I mention sister showing bra? If so, it was to discuss being surprised that she would show that off.
by the way, I was exagerating about leaving the house. I probably would have gone into another room.
