Made It

After rain like I have never seen before( at one point I saw Noah go by with a full ark), we made it in late yesterday morning. Quiet night with Ernie last night. Early trip today to a couple must visit locations.

Then home to hang with the kids and Joanne, and Ernie. Ruth will be home later and we will make no plans yet.

Stories, Legends, and Myths

When something happens within the family, or better yet at a family gathering it becomes a family "Story". It will be told over and over and over again. The "Story" will remain exactly as it happened when it is told among that generation.

As we tell that "Story" over and over and over and over again for more than ten years it becomes a family "Legend". It becomes a "Legend" as it has now been passed on to a new generation of the family to live and enjoy. The "Legends" sometimes get embellished to make them more appealing. The new generation will put their own angle on telling the Legend, but they will keep the "Legend" alive.

Upon the unfortunate demise of any family member involved with the incident or after 20 years, I believe the story then becomes "Mythical". This "Mythical" event will have more embellishments added in to it as most of the people who have heard about this event know it only second hand, and weren't there when it was just a "Story".
