SUNDAY PIZZA Sunday July,11 2010 had a real nice day yesterday. At about 5:00 p.m. moms cousin Richard Byhre and his wife bonnie came to visit.Cousin Steve showed up shortly after. Mother wanted Steve to meet them he had never done so. Richards father was my grandfathers brother Grant his mother was Vi probably Vivian for short. When Richards father Grant passed away his wife married another brother of grants and my grandfather Elmer. Vi and Elmer lived in Long Beach in the same building as a another brother Edwin I knew him as uncle Ed. When uncle Ed passed it was the first funeral I ever had been to, There was a open casket I remember filing thru to view and my father nudging me along. Uncle Ed was known for always listening to a transistor radio listening to the ball game. Uncle Ed would give Kim and I our own radios. Uncle Elmer and aunt Vi collected stamps they gave me some, I dont know what happened to them. Richard and Bonnie were taking mom out to dinner, Steve and I were going out also they invited us along. We went to Toppers pizza they wanted something fun and said Pizza so we ate outside there at toppers it was quite nice pizza and conversation was good and nice. Richard had lost his hearing had received a couple of the ocular implants one worked the other failed he is still very hard of hearing. Richard was very sympathetic of my limb loss last time they were here I had a problem with my foot but I had it. Steve is planning the 50Th anniversary party for his folks back in Minneapolis he said he would like mom and I to go. Steve said he wanted to pay for us to go and pay for our hotel rooms! wow I told him I was going even if I had to walk. I told mom it would be nice if Kim came along. The world cup in South Africa is finished with Spain winning there first.
