Aunt Berta

April 23rd is our Aunt Berta's birthday and her late husband's, my Uncle Roy's, birthday. Bob and I had a great 4 hour visit with her on the 19th, a little early to celebrate, but that's OK. The 19th was also the anniversary of my mother's death, and, with joy, the birth of our newest member of our family, Dreydon, my sister's youngest daughter's new son. Welcome to Dreydon. In fact, we got the call of Dreydon's birth while we were visiting with Aunt Berta.

At Berta's we showed her some family pictures, had some cheese cake and apple pie with tea, and had the pleasure of hearing very interesting stories of Berta's life. Berta is from Germany and had stories of what it was like in Germany during WWII. Also we heard the story of how she and my Uncle Roy met and how they eventually were married.

Here is Aunt Berta with the roses we presented to her for her birthday.

Here we are having tea. MMmmmm. Good!!!!!!!! The stories were even better.
