I miss the late 70’s and 80’s, with Vernon and Lida and all my cousins. It was the best summer vacations ever for me when I was young, for many years. Little Lida and Missy took me to church for my first time, Ernest, Larry and RV took me sledding for the first time. That’s just a couple of many many things they showed me for the first time. I know we aren’t really supposed to look back in time, but man it was awesome. I still think about you Vernon, Lida and Larry all the time. God Bless
