DSC_0007Thank you ladies for all the “S”uper comments that you made. I had forgotten about even putting that on the post, so at first I was confused. Then I started laughing loudly. Joe wanted to know what in the world was going on. Lol! That was the good part of my morning, however it unfortunately got worse. I got a text from my mother this morning that my Uncle Bill passed away in Tennessee. This is her sister’s husband, and they live about 20 minutes from my mom. So, I traveled all day today to Tennessee. My mom and I spent the night with my Aunt, so I am not going to be doing much of a post. I do want to tell you a quick story, one of my favorite stories of my Uncle.

My cousins from Michigan were in visiting over the summer, and we wanted to spend the night with Bill and Nancy. Both of these two people are quite and truly the sweetest people you can ever imagine. I had never heard either one of them raise their voice, cuss, or say anything bad about anyone. They never had any children, so that might have been the reason they were able to keep such a good nature. Lol!

When we were at their house that night, we all decided to go some where,  out to eat. My cousin and I started arguing about who was going to get in the car first. We had been standing there yelling, “You get in, no you get in,” probably for about 10 to 15 minutes. All of a sudden, Uncle Bill yelled, “Get in there!” We jumped like we had been shot, and scrambled in the car as fast as we could. Bill got in calmly and started driving off, then he started to snicker. Come to find out he was yelling at the dog behind the house to get back in the house. Haha
