Hello Scott

 

Since you asked just thought I’d let you know this is # 8.  Nudge figured it out the last time I talked to her.  I should remember that the year was 1998 because that’s when Carl had his awful stroke, but that’s something we prefer not remembering.  They were actually married on May 2^nd but Dennis celebrates on Derby Day.  I sure do miss them being here this year (even though my house is a disaster after they leave.)  RIGHT DENNIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Scott sometime if you haven’t heard the story you will have to ask Dennis about the time he peeed out the bedroom window.  We still haven’t figured out how he accomplished doing so, but it sure gave all of us a huge laugh in the middle of the night.  Of course this would only be one of hundreds of stories he could tell to keep you in stitches.  Hey Dennis maybe I can make you smile a little, remember the midgets, the trip to New Mexico and your wonderful grandfather, Carl and the extractor, the bush in Texas, gluing my hall floor and your hair, Carl walking on water,

Derby Day with Mark in the infield.  Have I made you smile yet son?  How about the box elder bush and the car jack or maybe some you and Walt stories, and then there was the band aid on your ear to hid the piercing from Carl and your grandfather and all you went through after they found out.

 

Sorry Scott I got off track, but if it helped Dennis to smile it these awful times it was worth it. And by the way I have never seen a bleeding heart grow into such a bush.  Mine are big but not like the one you have.  If I can ever figure out how I posted the picture of my boys I’d like to post some picture of all my beautiful azaleas Carl has taken.  Everything seems to be more beautiful this year for some reason I guess because we did not have a harsh winter.

 

Well this is longer than I planned, just wanted to let you know the facts and got off track.
