Dear Family,
Hi. We sure do love you! All of us up here in snowflake spent the past weekend remembering fun times we have had as a family and catching up on the news about everyone. It was delightful!
Mom and dad had a good weekend. Dad did have a stomach ache yesterday, which kept them from going to church, but that may be because he has been eating so many sweets lately. I personally know that he ate three big pieces of chocolate birthday cake and homemade ice cream on Saturday, on top of two hamburgers and chips and fruit salad with salsa on top. And that was just at dinner. I think he's having a great time. Maybe he's forgotten to eat extra healthy, like he's been trying to do for the past twenty years, as well as forgetting people's names. Do you suppose I could get dementia, just once in awhile, when I feel like splurging?
They also played the Wii at Aunt Linda's house. First of all they just listened while everyone else played Rock Band. The glazed look on dad's face reminded me of how he used to complain that the Beatles and other Rock singers sounded like they had belly aches back in the 60's. I don't think his opinion of Rock music has changed much. But when everyone started a bowling game, dad got really into it. He even wanted to try. He had a hard time figuring out which button to push, and how to swing his arm and let go of the trigger at the same time, but he finally did make one ball go down the alley, slowly, but it knocked over half of the pins. Mom took a couple of turns, too. Her balls were just as slow, but she almost made a strike once!
Anyway, we had a great time visiting with Aunt Julie and her family, and we missed all the rest of you. We sure are lucky to have such a great family!
Love, Aunt Gale
