Loved the post. There is a strain of hot blood that runs through my family and my brother and I, who are probably the most alike in the family, seem to have gotten it. I'll have to do some digging into my family history. I know it isn't from the Beachy side because the Beachy's are forevermore the most easy going, calm, level, steady, gentle people who have no enemies and offend no one. Temper or not, I don't think we have ever considered throwing an axe.....we just ruin doors. I broke a door and he kicked a hole clean through his, but that seems a little safer. <BR/><BR/>I love these fun, fascinating, family facts. One of my favorite stories in my family history was about my mom's parents. Now when I knew them, they were elderly and quite conservative in every aspect, however, my grandpa used to like to box (oh, they were Amish too). When they were first married, he would go out and box and my Grandma didn't like it at all. He never did it to quit, so one day she had enough. She got his boxing gloves, climbed up onto the roof, and put them down the chimney. She still smiles when she says, "And he never did find them!" <BR/><BR/>Well, I have to say that hot-blooded people definitely have better stories to tell their grandchildren!<BR/><BR/>AgAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11022879.post-1143166545479609842006-03-23T18:15:00.000-08:002006-03-23T18:15:00.000-08:00God must have a good laugh at all of us when He se...God must have a good laugh at all of us when He sees the way we behave....or maybe he just cries when He sees how we treat each other.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11022879.post-1143074838902933042006-03-22T16:47:00.000-08:002006-03-22T16:47:00.000-08:00Isn't it wonderful how these strange characteristi...Isn't it wonderful how these strange characteristics from our ancestors exhibit themselves so plainly in our children?

Very important to pass on the family history, I think.

After he had them removed, we had to re-teach him.<BR/>Halllelujah, Steven can chew! Mouth full, open or closed. :-)Pilgrimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13263860830512792429noreply@blogger.com
