Ny repeating a story to your children many times, they will be able to carry it down to the next generation. That my friend, is what we call "history." I think all of us bloggers sharing stories from our lives are creating a piece of history for our friends and family to enjoy long after we are gone. Who knows, one hundred years from now you may be known as one of the greatest storytellers of all time!! And on a more funny note, as middle aged people, we sometimes forget what we have just said!!!!DrSoosiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04445723747109775244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3677172151591739382.post-67688800321883583262010-11-02T07:20:00.328-07:002010-11-02T07:20:00.328-07:00My children accuse me of being repetitive, but I j...My children accuse me of being repetitive, but I just tell them I am being steady, predictable and dependable and they should thank me for that stability in their lives.Bossy Bettyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12568355839499622409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3677172151591739382.post-73022354663928618962010-11-02T04:21:01.773-07:002010-11-02T04:21:01.773-07:00You are right, and that's how family tradition...You are right, and that's how family traditions come to be.
