~2 of My Favorites~

Two of my most favorite Aunt & Uncle's were my moms

brother and his wife, My Uncle Ernie and Aunt Gladys.
Wonderful people. Kind, caring, loving. They had 3 sons,

Dennis, Robert, and Richard. My Aunt was a beautician,

and me having such curly hair I only would let my Aunt

Gladys cut it.. She knew how to do it just right where I

always looked nice.. I was fussier back then than I am

NOW ! :-) My Uncle Ernie was a miner and worked at

one of the 3 or 4 in the area. Worked there all his life,

till he retired and they moved to Lower Michigan to be

by their oldest son...

Uncle Ernie, well, I think I was his favorite. He called me

Louise, which I really didn't like that but that's why he did

it ! To tease me.. Having 3 very energetic sons I think he liked

having a little girl around, specially one that was just as energetic

as his boys! :-) We had all gone skiing one Sunday afternoon and I

wasn't really good on skis.. I put my skis on and got all ready and

went to the top of the bunny hill.. I looked down it, but I still was

just NOT ready to go down , I knew Id probly fall and I hated

to make a spectacle of my self.. I heard a voice down at the

bottom yell to me saying "LOUISE!!! Come ON!." I saw it was my

Uncle and I just smiled and waved, looking like I really WAS

gonna try going down that hill...but I knew as soon as no one was

looking Id sneak off back to the lodge! :-)

I stood their for a few minutes more and all of a sudden I feel

2 arms around my waist and see 2 skis pull up along side mine and

the next thing you know I'm flying down that hill in front of my
Uncle.. I laughed and so did he and I bet we went up and down

that hill like that about 5 times.. We went back up to the top again

and I leaned forward to go down with my Uncle, next thing I knew

I felt his arms let go, saw his skis disappear and as I made a quick

glance backwards saw him standing there waving and laughing saying

"You can do it Louise!!!!".. and I did.. If it werent for him giving me

that little extra nudge, maybe Id still be on top that hill afraid to

try to go down it.

The reason I'm writing about my Aunt & Uncle is probly a strange

one, but I had a dream last nite. Very seldom do I remember my

dreams.. But this one, I was standing in my kitchen, I saw the door

open and my Uncle Ernie came through it all smiles and quickly

rushed up to me, and I wasn't in my chair.. I was standing.. He came

up to me, folded me in his arms, holding me tight and gave me the

biggest, warmest hug I can still feel it.. He pulled back just a bit

and said to me "Hi Louise, you can do it"... He squeezed me again,

kissed my cheek and I woke up. I can still feel the warmth of his

hug, and it makes me remember all those great hugs we all gave

each other. I don't know what this dream means. Last I had

heard my Aunt had passed on but my Uncle was still alive and

well..he was born in 1920. Hes 88. Id love to see him.. Whats sad,

is that he lives about 2 or so hours from me.. And Ive not seen

them in years...

Well I get my next net flix today so you know what I'm doing

after I post this.. Movie time ! I hate commercials when I'm

watching a show. I have got to be the worlds worst at changing

channels to avoid the commercials.. Then I forget what channel

I was watching and never make it back there :-) Dvd's are a

treat... My other treat is in the kitchen.. Yup DIBS today.. Ive

not had any all week.. and I get my angel food tomorrow so I

need to make some room in my freezer .. Well that's my story

and I'm sticking to it :-) Now my GORGEOUS WEEBLE
"Nitey Nite"... :-)


Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear? love ya, and THANKS!!!
Always, Lois ****

God Bless You, is my prayer today,

I'm so honored to call you "friend"

I pray the Lord will keep you safe,

until I write again .....
