Freemans' Follies

Never thought it would be so hard to choose a name for a blog!! Actually never thought I would even create a blog, HOWEVER, after months of reading Kari's blog I thought why not. Maybe it will help me stay in touch with all those people I can never seem to stay in touch with. Of course once September rolls around..........

So back to the name. Tried on several for size but this one seems to fit. I have included Webster's definition for Folly;


Main Entry: fol·ly

Pronunciation: 'fä-lE
Function: noun
Inflected Form(s): plural follies
Etymology: Middle English folie, from Old French, from fol fool
1 : lack of good sense or normal prudence and foresight
2 a : criminally or tragically foolish actions or conduct b obsolete : EVIL, WICKEDNESS; especially : lewd behavior
3 : a foolish act or idea
4 : an excessively costly or unprofitable undertaking
5 : an often extravagant picturesque building erected to suit a fanciful taste

So we all know that we Freeman's are not Evil or Wicked or even lewd, but foolish.Extravagancece...Lackck of good sense, well maybe. So this is the name and I am sticking with it. The only bummer is I spent several long hours, ok minutes, well maybe only seconds, to make sure I had the correct puncuation and spelling. You know I thought it might be Freeman's Follies. But I knew that looked wrong so I did my RESEARCH! Alas you can not even use the beautiful ole apostrophe, sigh. But all of you now know that I tried.

So stay tuned folks for more fun to come. I am sure the camping trip I am taking my kids on by myself wilwarrantnt some bloggerific moments
