Dear Jim & Vickie,
The computer isn't working for some reason this weekend, so I decided to communicate the old fashioned way.
Our party was a success! Everyone seemed to have a great time. We had 33 cousins & cousin children for a buffet dinner, the played games in the ballroom. We played pounce, (which Diane won over-whelmingly - a real humiliation), a game like password or charades, and a dice game Jeannie taught us. After the larger crowd left, Jeannie, Sandi, Ruthie & spouses & Bernice stayed all night. We stayed up until 2 AM playing games. The next morning we had a delicious brunch of melon, berries & lime provided by Jeannie & a delicious variety of breakfast rolls brought by Ruthie. Even Mike had fun! A couple time people mentioned how pleased they were you came out for Stella's funeral. Jeannie said she had prepared herself emotionally & was controlled - until she saw you.
Sandi & Dick were in Italy for a few weeks and want to rent a villa next year there and have all the cousins come. They have already put you two down as they know you like to travel. I said it sounds great & we would think about it & that they should watch "Enchanted April."
By the way, the main reason I'm writing is to enclose this letter from John Carlson which I thought you, Jim, could answer better than me, however, I may write a short note.
Also, I love the family history & am in the process of reading it now! Velva is putting it on a disk to share with the cousins.
Love, Mary
