Well- we have had a busy couple of weeks. Went to the Pond family reunion held at Greystone- the funny farm ;-)' It was pretty cool to see everyone and while we were there- we put together a family tree and passed it on to Sean to upload and eventually get a copy for each of us to hold on to. My mind gets ahead of me sometimes- always have lots of ideas but not ones that get done so bear with me- I was thinking- all those great stories you hear about your parents or grandparents that are so funny or interesting would be really neat to have in a family book. I remember shocking my boys when I told them my mom played the snare drum- I heard a bit more to that story this weekend from my Grandparents- a good laugh. I remember finding out one time that my mom could draw??? You get the idea-so- I thought it would be fun to send out a questionnaire or something to allow anyone who wanted to, to jot down some info about themselves or maybe a sibling or parent or whatever- that would be good to put in our family treasure book. ( Ooh this might be a good place to permanently place a family tree too) I might even be so kind as to compile the info into the book (and enlist others who are good with artwork or computers in general to help)- then we could let everyone buy a copy(since I am not a rich woman) and it would forever be something we could pass down from generation to generation. Mam Ma is always telling me to "write it down before you forget it" and this sounded like a great way to do it. Let me know your thoughts.
On another note- I am still toying with the idea of becoming a personal trainer-wish me luck- send comments

DeDe, love your blog and look forward to reading more! I've bookmarked it. I think the questionnaire/family book is a great idea!!
Well, I have finally gotten around to replying on this. Guess what? Great idea, The Family Book!!! Oh, and yeah, I think it would be a great idea if you became a personal trainer!!! Also, I think you guys should think about moving to Wisconsin someday. :))

I was sorting through my email and trying to slim down the 670 emails that have accrued for quite a while now. Some, I couldn't view because I was offshore and put them aside to open once I was home again and, well, I forget to put it straight. So, here I am, getting to it a little over two years later. ooooops.
