I was as surprised as Deb when I saw Uncle Eddie the other day with all the tubes and fluids. But what really surprised me was when Mary Kay said just before we went in....he doesn't have his teeth in right now. Of course I immediately remembered when Grandpa and Grandma would make their teeth come out upon request. Or they would leave their teeth out over night, at least Grandma did when she slept at our house. I wonder if Eddie pops his teeth out for his grand kids.....I miss that...
Mom and I and Grandma used to play allot of cards.....we'd play until one in the morning sometimes.....anyone remember what we played?? Shanghi was the name of the game. I even remember we were playing the night Elvis died. I think we were playing the night HHH died also...
I guess I remember all the same things you all do about Eddie - but nothing special between him and myself. But what I admire about mom's family is how loyal and dedicated they seem to be to each other. I remember them collectively as a family that worked hard at getting together and making sure us cousins got to know each other. I told Mary Kay that I'd like to keep better in touch with the Waights.......after all we are half Waight.....right??

That's funny about the teeth, I cleary remember Katie always asking for him to do that, and then she would totally crack up.
I have always wondered myself when
did we stop doing things with that side of the family? Was it cause mom is nuts and nobody could handle her?
glad to hear anns brestacles are getting better tell everyone HI
Love Jodi
Katie asking Uncle Eddie? I hope thats what you meant coz G-pa died before she was born. Doing things with that side stopped after she sold the house in Ramsey...no more July 4th parties :(
Yeah I meant Uncle Eddie. Duh! LOL
