Uncle Frank, his sister (my Grandma) Margaret on the left and their cousin Katy at Frank's 90th birthday party.

A fun time was had by all and by the way Frank is, I wouldn't be at all surprised to see everyone again in ten years for his 100th!

I've got good genes :)

Earlier, we went exploring around the cacti-covered hills and mountains but we couldn't get up to where we had been the day before because of a car accident that blocked the road. My sister said she thought some of the cacti were so cute with their nubby arms that she wanted to give them a hug, to which I retorted with this song...

And the rattlesnake said,
"I wish I had hands so
I could hug you like a man."
And then the cactus said,
"Don't you understand,
My skin is covered with sharp spikes
That'll stab you like a thousand knives.
A hug would be nice,
But hug my flower with your eyes."
