Jodee had a nice talk with Uncle Gerry (Dad's younger brother). Uncle Gerry's son was kind enough to fly Uncle Gerry and Aunt Louise down from Raleigh in his plane. So we got to see cousins Doug and Barbara, as well.
Sisters Sue and Sharon enjoyed visiting and catching up an the latest on both sets of grandchildren. They each have three! Sharon has two grandsons and one granddaughter and Sue has two granddaughters (twins) and one grandson.
I think brother Jim was talking to Uncle Eldon about clarinet reeds. That is one thing they have had in common for many years....playing the clarinet! By the way, I think Uncle Eldon is about 94 years old. His hearing doesn't allow him to play the clarinet anymore, but he did for many, many years.
I enjoyed catching up with niece Heather.(Sharon's daughter) We have a special bond because of the year she and Sharon lived with us while Phil was stationed in Thailand during the Viet Nam conflict. She is now mommy to three delightful children.
Mom and Aunt Wilma had a nice visit. Aunt Wilma is Dad's younger sister. We were very thankful that she and her husband Eldon were able to join us for Dad's funeral. Wilma and Eldon were both in Mom and Dad's wedding party 68 years ago!
