I, however, am not nearly as eloquent as you, and can't really spell worth a (a different "F" word), so I don't always have a platform for my meandering thoughts. I do know this though......If it were not for friends, who could we talk to about our families? If not for families, who would expect us to be true in our faith? And if not for food...the saltiest campfire stew on the planet or your mom's "oatmeal" cookies....without food, WHAT IS THE POINT? xoxoxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1751877036536774816.post-37765297949342806982008-05-18T23:38:00.000-04:002008-05-18T23:38:00.000-04:00Same here, my good good good friend.

You remind us, without stating it directly, that we should begin each day with the words, "Thank you, sweet Jesus."<BR/><BR/>Thank you for family, friends, faith, and food, indeed. Thank you for my three sisters, though we nip at each other like pups at times. Um, plenty times. Still, something about that DNA coursing through our veins brings us back together. And, even though my brother didn't talk (much) until he was eighteen and isn't talking now (nor I), he's my brother. I should be more grateful for his presence, for he is my Dad's namesake. He also looks so much like Dad at times. And he's had a rough row to hoe, as have my sisters. Factor all that in and add, for good measure, my FL sis's saying, "Remember, there are just as many people in therapy b/c of you as you b/c of them," and even family look good. Mighty good.<BR/><BR/>However, sometimes friends understand you better. Most times. Maybe it's that they tolerate your peculiarities without fuss and have nothing to do with sibling squabbles.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for reminding us that faith breeds hope. How beautiful. <BR/><BR/>Passion, real passion, for food is not, I think, a universal trait. We here in south LA, however, think it is b/c here everyone thinks about good food constantly, even discussing the next meal while eating. Though my mother's habit of doing so used to make me crazy, now I appreciate her equating her food offerings as one type of love statement. The verbal kind didn't come 'til we five Porets were all grown. No matter.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps I should drop my brother a small note, a very small note, as a peace offering. Hmmmmm. More likely, since his birthday is this month, I should send a bottle of Old Granddad bourbon in honor of our father, who thought that brand just fine, thank you very much.ttMary Ann Ledbetterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13364359328174892626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1751877036536774816.post-88290774773999112132008-05-18T09:04:00.000-04:002008-05-18T09:04:00.000-04:00Vidalia Onions - oh sweet!I count you as a lifetim...Vidalia Onions - oh sweet!<BR/><BR/>I count you as a lifetime friend, Ang, even though I didn't meet you until I was a full grown woman on the precipice of perimenopause *laugh*Kathryn Magendiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12863595228298349863noreply@blogger.com
