I have been focusing on the Treat's this week due to father's day. I placed the Aunts on the blog and today I would like to place the Uncles there. Charles, Marion, Russell, Jim (dad), Victor, Jackie and Joe. These are some of the funniest people I have ever known. They could fuss, but you didn't talk about them. You could watch for hours as they entertained you and each other.
It was fun growing up and visiting Granny and Grandpa Treat. Granny was having children along with her kids. Jackie and I are close to the same age. I have several cousins that were also within a few years of each other and it was always crowded when we got together. I remember one Saturday evening that everyone was out except me and Grandpa. We sat by the big stove in the living room. I don't remember ever having another one on one with him. There wasn't enough of him to spend time with each one individually!
My dad wrote me a long letter once. I opened it, it said hello and then there were about 15 pages of jokes he had copied from a joke book. His greatest aim in life was to make people laugh and this year I have been remembering some of the things that he did. His brothers were his music buddies and so many of the children carried on the tradition.
Well, I am grateful for my memories. Have you revisited any of yours?
