Tea for two brings back memories of you, Aunt Lois, sitting in your back yard with a tall glass of ice tea. Of you and Uncle Charlie sitting in your living room with your cups of tea.
Uncle Charlie and Aunt Lois what a heritage you both had. Both coming from big families and both of you born in Phoenix from pioneer families.
Aunt Lois, how you loved to have our family get togethers in the desert. How many Thanksgiving, Christmas and other family get togethers were in the desert. The one trip we made to the desert to get barrel cactus to make cactus candy, grandmother Meta's favorite.
The time we were riding in the car late one night and there was a big sack of flour on the side of the road. Aunt Lois you had Uncle Charlie stop immediately to retrieve the sack only to find out it was a trick when a bunch of teenagers, who had a rope attached to the flour, pulled the sack back into the ditch just as Uncle Charlie reached it. I will never forget how upsetting this experience was to both of you.
I will always remember how patient you were with me, Uncle Charlie, when you and your carpenters were building the triplex by your home and your enduring all day of me asking a million questions. I think that is why you and your crew decided to call me "Windy", fondly I hope. I know you called me "Little Windy" and I fondly nicknamed you "Big Windy".
I know there must have been a great reunion for you, Aunt Lois, when you joined Uncle Charlie and your wonderful daughter Irene; who had left you so many years before, when you departed from this world.
