Re: Hello

I emailed my Aunt Becky earlier today to say hello, and this was her response. I don't know why, but it just made me so happy.

Notes:
*Mary Ann is my aunt, her sister
**Craig is my uncle (her brother), and Monica is his daughter, who has 3 little boys
***My dad is also her brother
****Raul is her latin lover hahaha

I was just asking Grandma how your trip to Notre Dame went. What a great deal for you that you signed on to that program. I think it's wonderful that you get to travel around and see some places. Is it hard to keep up with your studies?
My trip to Mary Ann's was great. The only bad thing was that fiasco with the Bart train and we couldn't see you. It would have been perfect to end my week that way.
Craig and Monica and Monica's family were down to see G & G. I'm sure you heard about it, but I think it was good for G&G to see their great grand kids. You never know what will happen so I was glad that worked out.
Your Dad apologized to me a couple of weeks ago for calling me when he was drunk. I thought that was quite a step for him. I realize he's not clean all the time but I think he's trying. If the damn economy would turn around it would sure help.
Raul is out of work. Something that's never happened to him since he's been in the States (15 years). He's heading to Mexico tomorrow night and won't be back until January. His boss told him he wouldn't have any work until January so he's taking the oppportunity to go see his family and help out at the ranch. I know I'll miss him but it will be a nice break for me not to have kids running thru my house every week-end. In fact I'm going to paint my pink bedroom. It's going to be kind of a coffee with cream color. Got a new bedspread on sale last summer so I'm going for it.
Take care. Nice to hear from you.
Love,
Becky
