Thank you George and Erla!

There is really only two things I miss about the old house we had. That is our old neighbor, George and Erla and Reece's friend Jacob. About 10 days ago we had stopped by their house to visit and let Zeb use the little boys room. Erla was so glad to see us and George, who came home later was having a ball chasing Reece and Zeb around his house, even at his age he still was keeping up pretty well with the boys. George has some memory problems, but he is so silly the kids love it. Zeb used to sneak over to their house for gramhn crackers or windmill cookies, which was George's favorite. This time Erla sent us home with some teddy grahms cookies.
They recently lost a daughter-in-law this spring and it was quite hard on Erla. She broke down and cried while we were there. She said she was like a daughter to her. Their youngest grandchild is now about Brocks age, and he lives in Kentucky. I think they miss them. George even keeps a little peddle car for our kids (and any other that may stop by, I'm sure) at there house. It has seen much better days, but the kids love it!
Today while opening the mail, each of the boys had a Halloween card and each had a message just for them. It was from George and Erla. I wish you could have seen the look on Zeb's face, not when I told him he got the money, but when I told him who it was from. He just lit right up and smiled so big "George and ERLA! Wow!" he said.

As you can see all the kids where pretty happy...
