The Uncle is 75 years young













                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      After a successful day at the Doctors, with Mom, we talked her in to spending the night and the next day Hugh, Natalie, Mom, Louis and I headed out to help celebrate  the BIG day for Uncle Ken.             What a wonderful surprise party that  Uncle Ken's children had for him to celebrate his 75th birthday.  Wonderful food, candy, cake, balloons and games made for a great celebration.  Terry and Janet, thank you for letting us all come over to honor this wonderful man.  Note the beautiful heirloom quilt Janet inheirted from her great  great Grandmother. Beautiful and in great condition to have been made in 1882.     Great stories to tell and share.  The horrors of childhood came out with full detail of Grandmother tying Kenneth in Dot's lap . Hugh being sent on bus at 2 years old with a bottle and diaper in coat pocket and sign around his neck and me hiding Mother's watch behind the door.  We need to hear more,  so mark your calendar for the big 80. in 2013.  We love you, Ken!
