The Flummel Cast of Characters

|
Leonard - (aka as Lij) The Husband and Father in our family. He likes to play outside. He particularly likes surfing...at least right now. He plays the guitar, but privately because it makes him self-conscious. He is a good dad. El Jay - (aka LC) The Son. He's 21. He is still working on the person he will be, facing both external and self-induced challenges. The good thing is that he is a lovely person who is chin deep into finding himself. All we can do for him is love him, provide support and hope for the best. Rejjie -The Daughter. She's seventeen and not only is she the child my mother wished on me when I was a teenager but she alone is the reason I have to have my natural hair color reapplied every six weeks. She is smart, she is dramatic, and she is a girly girl. Where the heck did that come from? She brought true turmoil to our lives, but she's getting better - as in moving away from her dervishness. She's just imposed a blockade on sharing her life here. AKA Rej. Me - What's there to say about me? I am the official "parent" in the family and likewise, the official worrier. I'm writing this blog so that my kids can someday see me beyond the mom role I've boxed myself into. I like to tell myself that it doesn't matter if anyone ever reads this thing, but I always check the stats to see if anyone actually did. Riso - The Dog. Riso is the reason Leonard mentions to me about 159 times a day that he's a "cat" person. He (that would be Riso not Leonard) loves to eat poop and anything he can find when counter-surfing. Despite all that, he's highly lovable and hates it when Rejjie and El Jay get going at each other. Riso loves the cat. He loves to hug her and cuddle her and love her, George, he really does. Mattie - The cat...Mattie is the surviving cat of the duo we adopted in August 2004. She is a long hair tortise shell we call Mattie (short for Matilda). She is a mellow lovey cat. She is the love of Riso's life. PNW - The Pacific Northwest. I love it here. I've lived in the PNW since 1977 and hope never ever to have to permanently move away.
Carol and Nancy - Carol and Nancy are the two close friends who allowed me to join them in Italy. Carol is a geneticist and Nancy is a big whoodoo in human resources and a fine artist...both far exceed my talents in all ways. I love them dearly.
Tools of the WeBLog - This is a list of the tools I use to make Flummel, Flummer, Flummo. The list is ordered according to the tools most used...
And, that's about it...
