Great Aunts

Life is great. Cory and Debbie put together a lunch for the GREAT
Aunts. Aunt Velma is 90 years old and seems to get younger each time
I see her. She still lives in Idaho next to her son Bobby. She lives alone and
when she want to go somewhere she gets in her car and goes. Except for Utah it is to far away so she takes the bus. The grandchildren may not know this wonderful lady but our children should remember the times Aunt Velma and Uncle Dean would come to West Yellowstone and spend a week or so. They loved to Square Dance at Alices in Island Park. They would play cribage with us and tour the park.

Aunt Jane is doing much better than I thought. The doctor told her two years ago that her heart was just wearing out and there was nothing that could be done. She is on oxgen during the night and sometimes in the day. She keeps scrap books and loves geneaolgy. She reminds me of Aunt Ardell in her looks and actions, but she is even more fun. I believe she is 78 years young.

My mother is doing pretty good. She loves to be with Aunt Velma and Aunt Jane. They are an important hook to the past and to my father. Grandma plans to attend the wedding and the dinner the night before.
