Yes, WV Tubing counts! All is well here with Nan...she says HI and sends her love. Taking her to the little Italian restuarant tonight. We shopped at the outlets this morning. Too cold to take her tubing or watch the horse races down by the track.
We are looking forward to meeting your parents half way next week so we can celebrate your mom's birthday a little early! Party!
My word isn't much fun...auttorc...Aunt T would be able to figure something out that was funny, but I am just not the word person in the family.
Uncle D says Hi and want to sit down and talk to you about the outsourcing and give you the US corporate business side of the story! He was in charge of all the outsourcing at two different companies in CT. That should be an interesting conversation!
Be good...be safe...be healthy!
Love, Aunt D

just had to write when i saw the word was Jackersp. it is what jack the cat does at 430 in the morning when he wants a drink or to go outside. i just finished printing up all of your blogs form the 3/1 entry to give to Grandma and Papa. They are coming over to dinner with Aunt Nancy and Uncle Leicester. I am so glad as we have not gotten together since Christmas.
Have fun in Thailand. Be very safe and stay well. i am abit concerned that you haven't recovered from India.

kisses,
mom
