It's A Gene Thing
I grew up in a fun, loving family. My parents were great, my two brothers and two sisters were great. Dinner was at six and we all yakked it up and enjoyed each other. I remember more than one free for all foodfight instigated by Mom, and once Dad dragged the hose in the house to squirt me after I popped him with a water balloon. Everybody played together, including my folks. We grew up camping all over Europe in the summers, or if we were in the States, staying at Uncle Herb and Auntie Donna's farm, visiting family, then going to the lake cabin on the Minnesota/Canada border. Dad passed away in '91. He was the best - funny, warm and sweet. Mom is a good friend of mine and the best mom possible.
