And, I'm highly suggestible, so, I had myself not really seeing the family resemblance. Until the clarification. So then I started feeling like maybe I DID see a resemblance.<br /><br />But mainly I'm just confused and not sure what (or who!) to believe.heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02194614616594881998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18677325.post-9843653264077865382010-02-05T13:56:18.844-08:002010-02-05T13:56:18.844-08:00i feel sheepish that i didn't pick up on the s...i feel sheepish that i didn't pick up on the sarcasm.<br /><br />you need to put a new post here.Natalyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05379439982490944553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18677325.post-78375019898691861592010-02-03T22:28:11.472-08:002010-02-03T22:28:11.472-08:00I have tried and TRIED to get some stray family me...I have tried and TRIED to get some stray family member to come and live with us for awhile, I would LOVE it. Unfortunately, Texas isn't much of a stopping off point for . . . anyone.<br /><br />I would love to have some of those Skousens, the ones I know at least are so very enjoyable!Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05889912470553026169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18677325.post-49437336551129383672010-02-03T11:31:44.742-08:002010-02-03T11:31:44.742-08:00I admire you and your acceptance of the situation....I admire you and your acceptance of the situation.

All growing up we all looked very similar, sort of like we all had the same mom and dad. People have stopped siblings on college campuses and said, "Are you a Skousen?" because the family resemblance was so strong. I think maybe this photo disguises the resemblance because of the round robin approach and the glasses and people's individual hairstyles and that loud yellow shirt. And of course everybody's older I suppose.Natalyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05379439982490944553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18677325.post-18753246864468523792010-02-02T22:17:23.799-08:002010-02-02T22:17:23.799-08:00I love, love, LOVE the new photo!

And I love the new look (of the blog)!<br /><br />I also am terribly smitten with the sentence: "Everything about you is a haven for me." What a transcendent thing to have had uttered about oneself. I mean, you.<br /><br />This post and all connected sentiments are just so lovable.
