And Brandon Mull came to visit our school and said Kendra was totally a character based on his sister. But maybe the name Kendra came from your friend? Either way, GREAT BOOKS and everyone should read them!Crandell Famhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14926730233035417048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3238830257475991181.post-29393455674556051652010-07-12T09:46:29.070-07:002010-07-12T09:46:29.070-07:00I agree!

Don't know where we get it from, but we definitely got it! :) So to set the record straight, it was obviously your sister DIXIE that said you were too wordy, as Dana and I have just said otherwise. Right?? :) haha Keep up the great postings. Especially when they include my super cute daughter!

It keeps me up to date on how things are working in the Van Patten house seeing as how I'm never here and usually always the last to find out about things - and usually find out by reading the blog.

This is your blog, it's who you are, and so what if someone (including me) skims some of it. *chuckle* Its obvious that you aren't really losing readership. I love your random posts the most. Sure, all the "day-to-day stuff" about the kids is fine and cute, but your true genius is your take on life and all those thoughts you spit out about it. It's your humor at yourself and how you live day-to-day. Don't change a single letter of that!:-) And apparently a famous character in a novel reads your book--wow!!Danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02595395112192756302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3238830257475991181.post-12861887963539959602010-07-09T10:53:12.981-07:002010-07-09T10:53:12.981-07:00I love your posts!!

Remember those gems of Shumway Family Letters back when Grandma Louise Shumway was alive? There was actually a 3 page limit on those letters because Grandma could go on for 10 pages... no joke... and of course had such difficulty editing down her thoughts into manageable bite sized pieces. <br /><br />BUT, we loved her, and we love her too. Yes, for those like me who are slow readers, we MIGHT on occasion skim, but I would say most of the people who read your posts do read them in their entirety. <br /><br />On the Yellow shorts thing, maybe your MOM shrunk them in the wash!! Toss the blame back in her court :D just sayin.<br /><br />Yeah, SYTYCD, if Tony doesn't come back then I want my Billy boy to win the whole thing. :)<br /><br />love ya, and love that you religiously read even my random and unpredictably scheduled blog posts. xoxo✩Molly✩https://www.blogger.com/profile/06322739209635571203noreply@blogger.com
