Neil and Maddie just left for their trip. They are going to stop at the dance festival on their way and leave right from there to head for Idaho and Utah. They will stop at Rohn and Marylyn's place and then on the way back at Aaron and Emmylou's.

Uncle Ralph
June 25th - As most of you know, Ralph had a complete hip replacement over a week ago and is mending pretty well we think. The first surgery was not healing right - it was crooked so they decided to finally do this surgery. He should be much better off once it is completely healed.
It was quite an ordeal for him
******************************
As most of you know, my brother Ralph was in a horrible car accident yesterday morning (Sat Apr 19th) Actually it was about 1 o'clock in the morning. He was on his paper route and driving along about 60 miles an hour he said when a car came over the hill and was in his lane. He had no time to do anything; the car just hit him head on.
We are all feeling fortunate that Ralph is still with us. He was hurt quite badly with several broken bones. However, he didn't lose consciousness, which means a lot and he is trying to keep his spirits up which means a lot.
Neil kindly drove mom and I to the hospital in Tacoma yesterday and we stayed there and visited with his family until he was out of surgery and then out of the recovery room. We did get to visit with him for a while in his room. He is in a lot of pain but they have changed his pain medication now and it is helping him.
Here is his address if you would like to send him a card which I know he would enjoy receiving.

Time Goes by
This past Friday night I rode with Neil and Maddy to the Elma Football Field to watch two of our grandsons play soccer.
Jesse Burbidge (Cindy & Arlin's) played for the Elma soccer team and did a great job. Dalton Newell (Eldon & Candy's) played for Tumwater. He did a great job also but was limited on the time he could play as he was plagued with a nosebleed.
It brought back a lot of memories of past football games. Eldon, Gordon, Garth, Aaron, Josh and Dan all played football for Elma. They loved it with a passion. I loved going to the games and rooting for the boys.
How quickly time passes. It seemed so strange to be there at the football field watching my children's children play. I don't get to go very often but enjoy it when I do.
Jesse is Captain of his team and will graduate from high school this year so he doesn't have too many games left to play.
It was good to sit with the family and enjoy their company.
