Dick, don't your feel alive now? The next thing we know is that you'll be taking off your clothes and rolling around in the snow. At least that's what I hear some people do.
We didn't go to the memorial. We feel bad, but we were both exhausted. It was a loonnngg week. My mother's brother, George, was here visiting us for the last 9 days. He is the one of the last surviving siblings of a family of 10.

No worries. Joe and Lyn and Heather didn't make it until about 10 pm or so. Needles to say it was a late night here but great. It was snowing when they left about noon. they should be getting home soon. The weather is clearing up and as they were driving west, they should have driven into good weather. I was nice to see you all. I am tired and glad it is done. I believe that it was great even tho I went off on a tangent. Sorry.

Plan to go to April's and BJ's for Christmas after I get off work. Big mouth me said I would work so the other lady could spend time with her children. At least it is only 4 hours.

Wish you could have been here tho. But there is August. What day in August in the reunion? Anyone know yet for sure??

WOW, it's amazing that George is still here to bless you. I remember meeting him a couple of times, Jim. Does he still live at Busha's place in Anderson or was it Redding? How old is he?

Glenda, it was good to see him. It was a real tie to the past. He's still living on the ranch south of Redding. He's 87 years young, pretty perky, and able to get around very well. He mentioned that he wanted to travel when we saw him last summer and so I told him, "Why don't you start my coming to the coast and visit us?" He did. I'm hoping he'll sell the place and enjoy the fruits of all the years of his labor.

Glenda, Please tell Whitney and Michelle how much we loved the Xmas photo. What a gorgeous family, and so wonderful to know what good people that they are on top of all those good looks!

It was a very special treat to have Uncle George (Sadowski) here. It made me miss Helen so much, but that was a sweet craving too. I hope he can come again.

And it makes me look forward to this August and seeing YOU ALL again. I love having you here.
