Happy 98th Birthday, Grandma Pearl!:


Pearl Spillers Wright Ellis


Today is Grandma Pearl's 98th birthday! Yeah! Grandma Pearl is the nicest lady you could ever meet. She never has an unpleasant word to say about anybody. Loving and giving, Grandma has recently moved in with Darlene so that she can just rest. She keeps up on world events, enjoys her soaps and science fiction shows. Grandma has outlived her boy, her husband, her son-in-law, daughter-in-law, a grandson and her beloved dog Matthew, but she is still all here and is wonderful company.

We all love her so much!

Family Dinner:

At 4:30 yesterday, Cary and I went over to Mitch and Maria's for our anniversary dinner. Mom, Dad and Jill were also there. We had so much fun visiting. After dinner, we watched the Cascade Medical Team DVD on this year's Guatemala mission trip. Kristin and Ethan were on it quite a bit, but there was only a picture of Mom's hand. It was fun to see what they did and see all of the people that they helped. It was neat.
