Strolling Down Memory Lane

The other day, I was at the Pad’s house rummaging through some of the books found in the library. The findings were incredible. First of all, I must say that I know what Chad will be doing this year. It is only his ten year anniversary for his high school reunion. What’s better than seeing all of your high school friends once more, huh Chad? But you should go because no matter what, as the yearbook stated it, “Even if you can’t fit in the same dress you wore in high school, still come.” You can reference it to the time you dressed up as a woman for the ward Halloween party.
Also, I was looking through the yearbook, and I must say how grateful you must’ve been to know that your cheekbones could also see correctly through those glasses of yours. That’s always nice.
Samantha, don’t think that I didn’t see your first children books. Yes, the ones that were written when you were a child. Although I didn’t quite read all of The Twins’ Adventure, I noticed that half of it was entirely unillustrated. Maybe, mom should send that back to you so you can finish it up. The Moaning Ghost was the best seller though. Who can forget Old Man Marley, the enigmatic antagonist and Tiffany, the ingenuous child, who wants to keep Cassie, in spite of seeing her messing with a pile of human bones.
Then again, we all had our own rituals with our own Cassie. Chad only irritated his warts when he would rub her tumor before each church basketball game. Me and Andy practiced our rubber band gun accuracy on her. Nick is probably the only one without EFS (embarrassing feet syndrome) thanks to Cassie and her taste bud-lacking tongue.
So strolling down memory lane was a great experience. I didn’t get to Nick or Clint’s yearbook. It would have been great to show Brenna Nick’s rolled up pant legs and denim jacket or Clint’s…I can’t think of anything for Clint. But no, Brenna only got to partake of Chad’s senior memories and Samantha’s Mourning Ghost. Be glad Samantha that the “mourning ghost” wasn’t your fourth grade picture. I didn’t know where to find it.

Well, I hope none of you offended were. Please respond and participate.

Nothing much ---------

I don't really have anything earth - shattering to report, but I just got tired of seeing, "last post, Feb. 7". It seems to me that someone could come up with something. I know it isn't me, but we do have several wise people on this blog. So someone get crackin'. No pun intended.

We knew him when...........

Dad and I both visited with Francine Underwood last night on the phone. She had some questions for Dad. Anyway, I asked about Andy - he reports to Spring Training on March 21 to the San Diego Padres. So it will be interesting to follow his career and see how he does. No, I didn't ask about Rochelle (Chad), or Jennifer (Nick) or Amber.

Some random reunion jokes

Cancun sounds great.

Anyway, with the new year here (almost a month come and gone) I'd thought I would unclutter my life a little bit and clean out my drawers (insert joke here). Among the found treasures: my nunchukas, a note from Marlae reminding me to pick up a universal cable, and the steak knife Clint gave me from Peru. Also among the finds was a list I put together of a few reunion jokes some of us came up with a couple of years ago. And since these jokes have a longer shelf life than a Costco bar at mom's and dad's, I though I'd list them for everyone's enjoyment.

Did you hear about the reunion of trees?
--They tried to leaf early
Did you hear about the reunion of owls?
--It was a hoot
Did you hear about the reunion of margarine?
--It could’ve been butter
Did you hear about the reunion of 2 x 4’s?
--They were board the whole time
Did you hear about the reunion of guns?
--Shoot, I forgot
Did you hear about the reunion of pot smokers?
--they had a bongfire
Did you hear about the reunion of coins?
--It was good for a change
Did you hear about the reunion of sheep?
--Ewe were there, right?
Did you hear about the reunion of bread mixers?
--yeah, me kneader
Did you hear about the lady that was harassed by the FBI for sneezing so much?
--she done sue da fed.

Now, aren’t you glad you tuned into the blog today?

Vacation 2008!?

So....about our family vacation 2008...did we decide on Cancun or what? Because if we did should we start planning? Does someone want to be in charge-you know since we would probably have to go through a travel agent or something since it's all inclusive? Anyway we just wanted to let you all that we give the "Cancun Tustison Family Vacation 2008" two thumbs up!! (That could be what all of our matching T-shirts say)
