Martin Clan
We are a group of cousins (firsts, seconds, thirds, fourths...) who at our great-grandmothers funeral decided to stay in touch despite the hurdles of distance and lifes business! Through the example of our Great Grandparents, Grandparents and Parents we have learned the importance of family. So may the lines and (typed) keys of communication remain busy! I love you guys!!!

I guess I had no chance at normalcy! You throw in those Martin genetics and mix them with my dad's!--- and you people wonder why I am the way I am! I'm just a helpless victim in this chromosomal catastrophe!!!
So far Jeff is teaching classes on humility, sincerity, and now normalcy. WOW! Now really, just how humble and sincere can a man be and still be called normal?
I'm sticking with Laura's sweetness class!
Oh Char...I am so thrilled that you are the first student enrolled in my SWEETNESS class at the "Bass Lake Academy" now if only the more "needy" ones will follow your lead and sign up too! We can only wait and see...
Mom, is that really you? Remember, all Martin in-laws are not to blame. It's the MARTIN genes that contribute to the lunacy. As we all know, the in-laws are flawless, and are actually helping to strengthen the gene pool! ;-)
They were such beautiful babies...but baby, look at them now!
Yes it is...in the flesh...lots of it!! We're so thankful for pure blood, especially yours Char...the purest! We love You and are so thankful for the transfusion!
I'm laughing away! You are too good to me - really, I'm the thankful one. So thankful to be in the JIM Martin family, and related to all the wonderful Jerrys, etc., also. It's amazing, isn't it? Look what dear Ken and Lula started!
Well, the secret's out! What makes it all the more scarey is the acceleration of chromosonal degeneration that comes with each succeeding generation, as is obvious on this blog!
Maybe deep therapy at Uncle Jeff's clinical seminar on normalcy at the Bass Lake Retreat Center will offer some hope?
If not, everybody else please take Laura40mar's course on sweetness, so as to make it all more bearable.
I've heard however that the world renown Bass Lake Retreat Center pancakes have miracle-working powers!
hay due dose bast lake packakes hep wid red-nek inner-bbreedding cuz whey needz ta hewlp bahd. whey wanz too bay perdy gaaals.
Jeff, I believe you are speaking figuratively about being in a class by yourself (no oblique reference to the "big old pot" in the word "figuratively" ;-). HOWEVER, I believe you will be literally in a class by yourself if you continue your plans for a humility class at Bass Lake. What Martin do you know who thinks they need such a class?
You may have more students if you go ahead with the normalcy class as Jim suggested. If "anonymous" is a Martin and is at Bass Lake - sounds like a needy soul there!
You and Laura will have to plan you schedule so that no classes overlap in time. Maybe other Martins will come to Bass Lake, now that we are "scheduling" things!
I'm thinking anonymous is Jill, and Josh's "frend" is Luke. I mean, the family resemblance in the spelling area cannot be denied!
Truthfully, Merily, I am filled with love and admiration for my in-law family, and a little pity for some: the two pictured would be an example of that. It's a relief, though - if they weren't poking fun at themselves, they'd still be making fun of me! Memories! So thankful they grew up - they did grow up, right? lol
Believe me Char we growed up yes we did! The pictures reveal it all in a nut shell.. pardon the pun! Ha!
