We have a Modern Family. Like all families, it consists of parents, children, and extended relatives. It also consists of the relatives who are likely to embarrass you in front of your friends, the ones who show up late for every get together, and the ones who eat everything in sight. There are the children who want to be the favorites, the ones who are always in trouble, and the ones who are worried about which one they are. The difference in our family, however, is that it consists of our barn family.
For those of you who are part of our family, you can decide which of the descriptions fit you. For those of you who aren't sure if you are part of our family- if you are reading this, you likely are. From the kooky out-of-town relatives who we rarely see to the ones who come and never leave- we love you all. We are all united by a similar DNA but it belongs to the animal called "horse". Like a family, wherever we travel, when we are together we are home.
Maybe because we all spend so much time together- we begin to look alike, dress alike, eat alike, talk alike. Before we know it, we are melded into an odd blend of humanity that sort of belongs together. After all, couldn't that be the definition of a family?
The tribe expands :O)
