Happy Birthday, Auntie Alvin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                   Didn't I promise you something cheerful, girls, after all the heaviness of yesterday???????  Well, today--can you believe we are midway through June, already????--happens to be the birthday of our beloved Auntie Alvin!!!!!!!!!!  Seventy three years old today, and not a day over, even if he does look eighty four!!!!!!!!!!!!!  We were thinking of giving him a nice nail clipper for those toenails, but he is such a wild thing, who knows what he would do????????????

                                     Tomorrow, Auntie Alvin is coming to our house for hugs, kisses, and a birthday dinner out!  I can't wait, and I know you all can't!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  So, let's wish our birthday best to Auntie Alvin, in this June week, that, for me, seems like nothing BUT birthdays!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                      "Blow out those candles, Laura!" Oops, I meant Alvin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
