This was us, all the time. Now I'm a rushed Manhattanite with no time for ATVs....or even dinner. We have the opposite story you know, I moved from Dallas to NYC and you...well, you know. </p> This made me miss Ft. Worth like crazy. This was us, all the time.

When I spent a "small" family dinner at my friend's house on Christmas Eve in Bogota, Colombia (the whole family would be there the next day), there were 75 people in and out of the large house!!! My friend was embarrassed by all the chaos, but coming from a family where "small" means my sister doesn't come home and it's just my mom and I, I was enchanted by all the family love in that house. <br /><br />And congrats on the Bad Ass Merit Badge - always a fun one to earn!</p> Yup…the family sound is awesome.

Much more to that, I would say. So my theory is the more "connected" we have get through the internet and its utter gobs of superficial relationships the more we run the risk of becoming "disconnected" from deeper relationships that come with time spent with people, family and things like good old-fashioned fun in the dirt, etc. Kudos to you for always trying to maintain a great balance of both and making new discoveries. And then... sharing them with us! Fabulous writing as always!</p> Awesome post. Much more to that, I would say.

Over the years mine has sadly diminished but whenever there's a loud group of us I'm in heaven.</p> I love the sound of family too.
