Day 104 POTD Mizzou and Digiscrapping: What's a Family For?

Here are a couple of photos from our recent trip to see Brian at Mizzou (University of Missouri.) He's graduating this year with a degree in Journalism and Marketing. Hopefully, after graduation he'll end up a little closer to home, although he tells us he's really not use to the cold anymore!




And this is a digiscrapping layout prompted by a conversation I had with my family about 11 years ago. I asked them what they thought a family was for. Dianna first said, "What book are you reading now, mom?" (She knows me too well!) And then said, "I'm not talking to you; I'm watching tv." And then she started answering in a way that I thought was really what an 8 year old thought about the purpose of a family.

So I grabbed a yellow tablet and wrote down what everyone said. I kept this little scrap of paper all these years, because it just struck me as so revealing of their different developmental levels. Scott's answer, at age 13, reflecting more of his unique "strange" perspective, giving it a little "biological" twist.

Wish me luck! I'm trying to get Scott's permission to a put a poem that he just wrote on my blog. My last e-mail to him tells him that if he doesn't answer, I'm taking it as consent!
