More musings from 1109. I opened the website a minute ago to see another of our family pics and it reminded me of some thoughts I've had over the past few months and I thought I'd share. The fact that everybody keeps asking me if I'm Jilly's twin just reinforces it. I see these pictures and look into Mom's face and see my own, or Erin's, Craig's, Jill's. Same with Craig, I look at him and see an expression of Erin's or when Jill and I are together, she'll do something that is SO Craig. I look at Dad and see....me. Anyway, it's like mud, methinks. Mud is different in different places, will look different, can act different, but basically consists of the same stuff; minerals, etc. We're made of the same mud; different configurations of elemental ma and pa. Some of us are more the infertile-rocky-soil-type (you know who you are) and some (okay, me) are/is more the lush, life-producing, so-good-you-can-grow-giant-vegetables-kind. ;))

Couldn't resist!
Pfff. More like the stinky kind of mud...you know, the kind that crawdads like and that stains your clothes!
