With Glo and Ernie in town there were some traditions that had to be followed. It's the law. First, jumping into bed with them to poke and tickle and prod the "toddlers" (my new name for the dynamic duo of Harold and Carolyn.) Does everyone still climb into bed in the morning with the parental units??? My sisters and I always have and always will...not sure if my bro does, will have to check. Second, jelly orange slices. When you send Ernie into the drug store for an item or two you can be guaranteed he'll emerge with jelly orange slices and a variety of other candy goodies. He did not disappoint. Third, Glo will always say that she's had too much good food and doesn't need another bite...until the next meal appears. Good work Glo - I'm with you all the way. Fourth, we had to swing by the Motherland Country of Tooele and review the old homestead that my Pops left over 70 years ago. We gave a shout out to Edna and Theo (beloved grandparents) and Aunt Lil and Uncle Byron up at the Tooele cemetery. They were all enjoying the scenery. Fifth, inevitably Ernie will share with some unsuspecting friend that he is celebrating the 49th anniversary of his 39th birthday - you do the math. Sixth, before the trip is over Glo and Ernie review the wonderfulness of the events that have transpired and how blessed they are in this life. Aren't they just the cutest little bunny-wunnies you ever met? What a great send off to chemo number 5 on Thursday.
Forever in the clan,
Mary
