And from what I've seen you are consistently improving as well so keep it up!<br/><br/>Family tree's confuse me too - which is one reason I hadn't responded yet.<br/><br/>You shouldn't even tempt me with the farm thing - yesterday I was ready to sell everything and start over! If only I could pull off a Wendell Berry and have the farm, but really be supported by writing great stories. Make no mistake Rachael, when I read your posts I definitely list you among the very creative people I know. And from what I’ve seen you are consistently improving as well so keep it up!

Family tree’s confuse me too - which is one reason I hadn’t responded yet.

Severt is *your* great uncle but no relation to us. Scott's mom grew up calling him "Uncle Severt" because he was your dad's uncle and your dad was her 2nd cousin. Families used to be a lot closer. That makes your kids and mine fourth cousins. I think I've finally got this figured out. Family trees confuse me. n/m Scott set me straight. Severt is *your* great uncle but no relation to us.

I asked him if he'd told the class the artist was his "great-great Uncle" or Fouth-cousin twice-removed" or whatever My kids' relation is to him. He didn't, because he didn't know the relation. (Is he your dad's and scott's mom's uncle?). <br/><br/>My boys really enjoy his drawings. Oh, and Marshall encountered Uncle Severt’s “Character Sketches” at school.

I doubt my talent at least daily. <br/><br/>I want to write articles for publication. I want to write a novel. For now all I'm managing is a blog and it's hard to imagine doing any more for a long time.<br/><br/> Kids take a lot of energy (for example, while I'm writing this, Ethan, my only child at home in the mornings, is blowing shredded coconut out of a bowl onto his face and laughing hysterically). If I had to leave the house to work a full-time job, I doubt I'd have the energy to write at all.<br/><br/>I told Scott a while back that I'd always thought I'd do great things but I was starting to understand that if all I do is raise four great men, well... really, who could ask for more greatness than that?<br/><br/>Scott can really feel you on the job front. I think you and he should quit your jobs and we can all move to a farm somewhere in a small community and learn how to be self-sustaining (and when we aren't working hard, breaking a genuine sweat, you and I can rereat to our separate studies, overlooking the land, and write to our heart's content).
