Spent the holiday weekend with my parents in the big, big city of Fort Wayne. It's a long trip, about 5-6 hours. We try to get there as often as possible, but work schedules do interfere. Saturday was my sisters birthday so we drove up to their house on a beautiful lake to help her celebrate. Of course our family celebrations always include food and lots of it.

Our parents were really mean to us as kids. They brought us up to be kind, respectful and hard working. They took us to church, made us mind and punished us when we didn't. They taught us the value of education and working for what we wanted. Mostly they instilled in us the importance of faith and family. God and family will be there for you whenever and however you need them. How blessed are my brother, sister and I to have grown up with such mean parents. The one bad thing about being a parent is you don't know if you have done a good job for years. The three of us turned out pretty well, so good job Mom and Dad. |
