Today I woke up really early and went with my grandparents and Mom to Canby, MN. Mom is making a scrapbook for my grandparents 60th wedding anniversary and one of her aunt Phyllis claimed to have one of the original wedding invitations. We drove for 3 hours. I slept the whole way there. Then we went to my graunt (a simplification for great aunt) Phyllis's house. Her house was like one of those "pieces of flair" restaurants, you know the ones with stuff all over the walls. Also lots of dolls:
It didn't look cluttered though. While we were there, we shared some pictures with her from a computer.
We listened to the stories she had to tell and her marveling at technology. At one point I told her I could probably explain how cell phones worked, but she didn't want to know. She ended up only having a write-up from the city newspaper, but it gave us an excuse to visit the remaining siblings of my grandparents. While we were there we also visited graunt Ruth (97 years old) and graunt Mildred and I also got to meet my 1st cousin (actually double cousin) twice removed. They were very happy to have visitors. Even though I am not really close to them, I am glad to have spent time with them before the inevitable...
Later,
