I just wanted to finish the song...

"I hear those silvery trumpets blow. Goodbye, goodbye my friend."

How about,
--When you are ready to go and you are asked, "Are you Al-Read-dy to go?"
--If you set your alarm for 2:00 in the morning so you can chat with your siblings online. :)
--You hope you didn't inherit "that" blood. ;)
--You go to the same destination for every summer vacation for your entire life.

If you hear, "Move your feet, lose you seat!"

If you play musical chairs without the music.

If you don't need to invite anyone over to play Bunko.

If you've ever seen 2 John Wayne DVD's in one day.

If I say, "turquoise trim" and you know what I mean.

If you do crossword puzzles as a family.

If you camp out, ending a drought.

If family laughs at your jokes, but nobody else does.

If your kids hear, "Which one do you belong to?" at church.

If you only attend that church once a year, but they still know you.

If you have a relative who wants to check your blood-sugar level.

If you still miss the water from the under-ground stream.

If having the runs is the better alternative than drinking the wormwood tea to cure it.

If you go to the store and buy 6 gallons of milk and it's gone in
2 1/2 days.

If you sit outside under a canopy during a rainstorm just so you can have a seat while you eat your dinner.


If it's faster to drive to the motel to go to the bathroom than wait in line.
