60 Years

Last weekend we drove down to Los Angeles for Meme and Joe's 60th anniversary party. You both did pretty well in the car ride down and you loved the hotel. You were eating the free cookies, watching tv and jumping on the bed.
You two had fun. The next day I think you both ate about 4 pounds of M&Ms. I had these M&Ms made with Meme and Joe's face on them




and you both ate them non-stop. Tonio you had a blue ring around your mouth. At one point Aunt Dede asked, "Where's Toto?" and we found you under the table eating M&Ms off the floor. You had fun with your cousin Taylor.



We spent the rest of the weekend with Meme and Joe. We went on walks around the lake, played with beep beep go's and went to Chuckie Cheeses. You had a lot of fun with your great grandparents. Miguel you love saying their name too. All my life they have been the funnest and most generous people and I am glad you get to spend time with them too!





We also visited your Papa Bill. He is in a home right now. He is the greatest man. Bill is gentle, compassionate, intellegent and loving. He was so wonderful to my mom and your Mia. He was a terrific boss too: he knew all his workers' names, didnt take company cars or bonuses in hard times, hired families and truly cared for the people who worked for him. I know he understands still. His eyes lit up when you both came in and played. I love Bill so much. It truly breaks my heart to know you two will never know your grandparents the way I know and love mine.
