Dale & I have been more like friends than cousins since I was in 7th grade! When my grandfather died, I first met him and we hit it off right away. He is a year older than I am, but he included me in alot of things once we moved back to Spokane (he even took me to the stage play "Jesus Christ Superstar" in 1972) and we double dated in high school! He was dating a girl named Sue (who he married right after he graduated and had 2 great boys with) and I was dating Bruce. Anyway, he now lives in Yakima, Washington and had come up to Spokane for the week to see his Mom - who is my Dad's younger sister. We spent Tuesday remembering alot of good times and we went to dinner at The Spaghetti Factory and then went to a movie. It was alot of fun!
This last week has been a crazy one for me. I am trying to rest a bit...we did inventory till 3 am at the bookstore and I was juggling both jobs all week. I am pooped!! But, today is a day off of sorts...my friend Pam in Coeur d'Alene asked me to help throw a birthday party for a friend. This is a second job for Pam (she teaches reading)...she loves this kind of thing just like I do. So, I am off to help her cook, prepare, decorate...all that fun stuff!! Then I am back to work tomorrow bright and early!!

You have a lot of fun memories growing up with close relatives.
Looks like you have been having a lot of fun and a lot of things you haven't done in a LONG time. It's nice to have friends!
I am glad you have friends! AJ
