I received a package from my Dad yesterday. He had warned me about it before sending it.

My Grandma Shaw’s family (from my Dad’s side) came from polygamy. I believe that it stopped with her Grandfather, Orson Brown. My Grandma doesn’t get along with many of her family members. They find this man to be a hero. Had five wives, many, many children, then ditched them to go to Mexico to start all over again. Yeah…some hero! My Grandma had a very hard upbringing, when through many tough situations that no child should have. The woman needs to write a book. It truly feel sorry for all of the children and adults that are stuck in this situation in todays world. It really is heartbreaking to me.

Anyway…her brothers/sisters/cousins are very proud of their heritage and made this ‘wonderful’ dvd. Why? I don’t know, but when you look at this picture and read the title I do hope you laugh as hard as I did. I have yet to watch the dvd but my Grandma says that it is quite amusing. No where near realistic. She said I would get a real kick out of it. Ha!

Hope I don’t offend any polygemists out there. I wouldn’t think you would be reading my blog, and oh, by the way, I love the show Big Love, and yes, to those of you who are wondering I am from Utah and no I am not mormon.

I hope you all enjoy your Sunday. I have been working all hours everyday this week so I’m going to take the rest of the day to play with the kiddos and read my book, ‘The Friday Night Knitting Club’.
