Dolly Does Depeche?

I'm sure it's been noted that I've added a Dolly Parton song to my playlist. Don't worry I haven't been converted to country! It's a song I remember very fondly from my childhood. I'm sure my sisters and brothers don't remember it quite so fondly, I must have listened to it at least 800 times a day. I have never gotten sick of it, never will. It gives me a particular thrill when I hear my 5 year old belting it out at the top of her lungs! The legacy lives on! On that note, Andrea, Kim, Jamey and Reuel this one's for you! I think Depeche Mode would understand!

PS HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYBODY!

That is scary to hear that song again! Very Halloweenish! You are hooked, by the way... blogging two days in a row! I didn't have to bully too much, huh!

Alese,

WHat a thrill to know you are blogging. I told Kimbo I thought you should. Now there are two blogs I read! (Although I don't do one myself, of course!)

Congrats on your new life in Ephraim, how cute you stay home two days a week, how is Shaner, I miss Bella, I can't wait to see your old hotel, etc...

Now to the business part of my comment. (I'm publishing this here for added pressure, beyond a private email to you.) Come to my cabin for Thanksgiving. It won't be Thanksgiving without you. You can have the biggest room--your own room--with three twin bed, a double bed, and plenty of floor space should you need more space, your own bathroom with copper freestanding tub AND shower (with a pebble floor!) and all new pottery barn bedding. There is a washer/dryer, a complete kitchen, you can have as much privacy as you want yet you could join us for dinner and the occasional hanging out if you are in the mood, I will entertain you to the best of my ability, I would love it if Shane wanted to cook a specialty for us for one meal, you guys can tell me the foods you want and I'll cook them for all the other meals, you don't have to commit to staying the whole time if you don't want to--leave early if you want, it is only a few hours north of Tremonton so it isn't very far, bring all of the kids if you want, name your demands and I will meet them. If you won't come, will you at least send Bella. I miss you all, but can I at least spend the holiday with Bella if you won't come? I will entertain her, spoil her, get her addicted to her Colorado aunt and then return her to you. I PROMISE that when it is time to return her, I will not run away to Mexico with her!

I don't think I have ever asked anything of you, but I am asking this.

PS. Mom would want you to come. (How is that for pressure?)

Tell Shane I will do anything for him and continue to love him forever if he comes.
