Mom would love having her birthday on Superbowl Sunday, don't you think ? She always loved a big, LOUD party! I miss Mom... but I know she's still with us. She'll be hootin' and hollerin' in her one-of-a-kind way today... I know it.................
Yes, I remember that "overnight stay" at the hospital. Wow, a year has passed already. It was a good decision... you're back to your ornery, active self now, managing quite well!
Do you snore? Mom did, if I recall.
So when you were a kid, and it was cold outside like this, how did you keep warm? How'd you dress? How'd you heat the house? What did your mother cook? I'm curious... I must know! Ha ha ha... Did you and your brothers ever fight? Wrestle on the floor, get in trouble in school? I think you've been in a few fights in your life, just a hunch... I remember you being all too willing to pick a fight with the kids across the street on Morrill's steps!
Glad you got Steff's address!
I got carried away writing... better let you go! Enjoy the game! Maybe order pizza and sit with Bob and celebrate!!! GO BEARS!!!!!
Love, Dottie

Dear Dottie guess whats resting on my neck while i am writing to you , the old Bed Buddy
Ha ha , went to church this morning the old clunker sounded like an old washing machine when it started , every thing in that car groaned today , including me ha ha , I don't think there were a 100 people on church for the 7.30 mass , I dressed warm drove to the cemetary, if there is one place that is cold it's there Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
stopped by Your Mothers grave and wished her a happy Birthday saw Lorraine going out of the cemetary , followed her home , she said I was going to call you to tell you it was Helens Birthday, It was 4 above this morning but a wsw wind that cuts right through you , Got home and out came the bed Buddy , still haven't warmed up , guess i'll make a bowl of soup for lunch .
Sandy called last night , no heat in her place , the Thermostat didn't seem to be working , she ,was worried about the birds, anyway after digging out the instructions , she changed the batteries and it seem to be working now , oh happy day , in this weather you always need a back up plan , spare heaters and such, told her she could wheel them out into the hall way thats heated and put a blanket over them in a pince . see I am always thinking ha ha .
She may comeover with Pizza tonight
Anyway it's cold out there , stay warm , watch the Bears tonight and hope they win so all of us can SMILE
love Dad
when i was a kid your choice of Clothes was what you had on your back , or hand me downs , i even got the old shoes that my brothers grew out of , think about it , A pot belly stove that you would put a brick on to heat it up , wrap it in a towel and put it in bed with you to keep warm , Old fashion bed buddy , ha ha , no storm windows , Half an inch of frost on the inside of the windows,, food was usually soup with lots of Potatoes, cabbage, and some meat if you were lucky , of course Rye Bread with lard spread on it with salt for flavor . I never faught with my older brother , but with Mike he fought with every body , so do you think times have changed , you bet enjoy .
