Welcome to our world, one that includes the Little Black Dress, the three Sonsof Thunder, a dog who thinks it can fly, a couple of cats and yours truly. The Dress, or LBD for short, is my wife and mother of the Sons. And the Sons are, well, the Sons.Within this book you''ll learn some sage advice from talking animals. Andspeaking of animals, you will discover, as if you didn''t know already, that squirrels are evil. I am, by training and profession, a journalist. Over the years, as The Dress andI faced the world and the Sons joined us, I chronicled our adventures. While almost everyone has a spouse and children, few have such a combination as the LBD and the Sons under one roof. Thus, our story.We have faced death, near death and attended funerals we did not want to. But we''ve also dug to China, campaigned in the Great Water War, survived asinking catamaran and pretty much blew up a waverunner.Life is hard, but it can also be fun. And if you have your own LBD and Sons (orDaughters), you realize you never know what will happen next. How you handlewhat gets thrown at you is the key. So there will be a little advice, a few tears, lots of laughs and some points to ponder. We''ve learned what we are good at, and also what we fear. We learned that our faith is our core foundation. We''ve also learned we are better together, and while we don''t understand everything or the "whys," we know God is still in control.Welcome to our world
