Cousin's Reunion


We held our annual Mitchell Cousin's reunion at the Wilkinson Center at BYU. As long as Cec is the President of BYU we will probably hold it there. It was good to see everyone. Carol and Barbara are on missions and had sent letters. Of course the center of attention was our sweet Aunt Alice who will turn 100 years old tomorrow on the 14th. She is an amazing lady. Her mind and wit are as sharp as ever. We all just hope that we inherited the same genes that has kept her so sharp all these years! She has numerous aches and pains and is really ready to move on to be with her beloved Jay again. She says that he's too busy to come for her--"he's probably in a meeting." He was Bishop and Stake President in Orange County and later in the temple Presidency in the Los Angeles temple so he most always was at a meeting.
Saturday we went back to Orem where Aunt Alice's family had a wonderful openhouse for her. The day was perfect and they were able to hold the party outside. Grandpa and I drove down early and met Kandis for lunch. We went to the Olive Garden and enjoyed being together. Of course it was hard for Grandpa to find something that he liked to eat.
