For the past few weeks my family has been "disagreeing" via email about all things political including health care and taxes and environmental legislation. The original rebuttal started after a conversation at the beach this summer and we've been butting heads ever since. Some of us are staunch conservatives, and some of us are steadfast liberals and there are lots of disagreements. The emails have been flying fast and furious.
This is my final rebuttal: I love my family. They are smart and motivated and kind and friendly and fun and faithful. And we can disagree politely and still all get along.
Thanks for letting me be a part of it all.
(Oh, about the orange skirt and hooded sweatshirt in this wedding photo - I got to the wedding before my luggage did)
jessica- just catching up on your life- you crack me up!! So, what are you? liberal or conservative? Did I tell you that we're coming back to visit in Oct.? We'd love to see you guys!
ReplyDeleteWe'd still be debating if our email account wasn't acting up, only allowing us to open an occasional letter.Our minds just aren't limber enough to let us figure out the problem with this modern day tool.Peter would rather renovate and I find it less disconcerting to walk the streets past the security guards with big guns and night sticks,than I do to navigate this computer.
ReplyDeleteWe do have a wonderful family--exceptional young women and men-- all 8 ,and handsome, intelligent and talented grandchildren,all 7 and counting. They are all why I am serving a mission-- trying in some small way to payback for all I have received.
Amen, sister. :)
ReplyDeleteBy the way, even though you aren't wearing what you would have liked to for the wedding pictures, you still look incredible. If we can manage to get the whole family together at the beach next year than we'll definitely have to update the family picture.
