Yes, they are fun. Very positive people, always curious about what's going on around them, and willing to lend a hand as well.

Otepoi, DeeVine goes far beyond even the standard purple and red. I have seen her assembling costumes that look like something from a plush stage production of "Alice in Wonderland."

Those Red Hatters are EVERYWHERE. I saw a whole bunch of them at our national Flower Show this year. With the red hats and the purple outfits, they were brighter than the flowers.

Well, your parents were free-thinkers in their way; remember the ballet career they had all planned for you?

Hey Boomer,

My parents would have liked your church. They were wishy-washy Protestants. Growing up I recall our family belonging to a Presbyterian, a Methodist, and at least two Lutheran churches. First thing they'd do was to join the choir and get involved with some kind of youth activity, which I would then have to participate in. I think they enjoyed the sense of belonging. They did enjoy a good sermon. Mom tended to end up leading the choir. I sang in the Lutheran choir Mom directed until I finally decided that church wasn't for me and stopped going. My folks surprised me by not making any kind of fuss about my choice. I wouldn't call either of them "free thinkers". They were both Republicans. But they did respect adult choices and I guess they decided I was becoming an adult and let me go my way. I had to give them credit for that.
