It sounded as though it was always the ultimate Crazy Night and I was envious of Julie and others who got to do that. <BR/><BR/>Finally, a few years ago, Alex and I went to Niagara Falls and spent a night with Aunt Dot on the way. By then, she was on oxygen most of the time but we lay on her bed talking all night long anyway. Alex, who was about 8 or 9 then, fell asleep to the whoosh of the oxygen pump as we discussed extra-sensory perception, family stories, and lots more. <BR/><BR/>Of course it left me wishing for more times like that, but I felt privileged to get at least one opportunity for an Aunt Dot mythical sleepover. <BR/><BR/>Happy Birthday, Aunt Dot! So wish you were here.<BR/><BR/>Love, SueAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2412556112231214747.post-85860440202285551572008-09-11T15:08:00.000-04:002008-09-11T15:08:00.000-04:00Can't WAIT to taste the pickles THOSE two come up ...Can't WAIT to taste the pickles THOSE two come up with!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2412556112231214747.post-11986300131285533842008-09-11T13:36:00.000-04:002008-09-11T13:36:00.000-04:00Gosh, I'd forgotten those!!! One of our favorites ...Gosh, I'd forgotten those!!! One of our favorites was the mustard pickle one where you put all the stuff in a quart jar , screw the lid tight and every time you go by it on the counter, turn it upside down for one week!!! [Invert it from what it was!]We loved that one because we could say we were working and then go READ which was our main occupation!!! I do miss those Sept jaunts! Going to take one this year with Uncle Harold and Jack and try them at reading and cooking at Otty Lake!!! Aunt CBAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
