family blog spotlight

Again, it's been a while since we had any new content, so here is another spotlight on a family member's blog.

If you don't want to know more about the life of a potty training lawyer mother of twins who lives near the mountains two doors down from Grandma, you're probably not interested in C. Jaye's blog, everyone else check it out here. It has recently been facelifted (the blog, not the twinlawyermommy).

My personal feeling is that the words are out of order. We don't yet know if she'll ever be the mother of twin lawyers and I'm pretty sure she's not the twin of another lawyer mommy. Oh well, I guess annoyinglittlesister.blogspot.com was taken.

jtm holt and arkansas state

Another good example of things that should be posted on the family blog:

Story told to Lions Club...09/03/2008: In 1863, our grandfather, J.T.M. Holt was born. He grew up to be a very successful farmer, businessman, County Agent, school teacher, and he spent eight years in the Arkansas State Legislature. Among the bills he authored was one creating the State Junior College System in the early part of the 20th Century. There was one college established in each of the four corners of the state. The one from the NE corner put their football players on a rickety rackety old bus and drove down to College Station, Tx, and on over to Kyle Field last Saturday, where they beat the "snot" out of Texas A&M University! 18-14 Yea..Red Wolves! formerly, Indians!

Thanks Hank
