Visiting Merle

I thought you all would like to see how Merle is doing

so here are some pictures from last Friday when my family

went to see him.

It had been a while since 'Bop' had had a hair cut so

my Mom took her scissors and took care of that problem.

Dad was in the background making faces to try and make Bop smile
Bop said; "That's enough to make someone cry!"

Bop's new hair style. :)

This looks more like the Bop or Merle we know and love!


Bop are you ready for a fun ride?

The Twins and Reid made glove creatures to decorate the room
before we left.

For those of you who don't know...
Becky loves traffic cones so she was very excited to
find one before we left.








After visiting Bop we went with Drena and Reid to have supper.
While we were at the restaurant we commented that we should have
the waitresses sing to Drena because her birthday was the day before.
A few minutes later Mom left to use the restroom. We all teased Drena
that Mom went to ask the waitresses to sing. Well Mom came back and

not long after that some waitresses began gathering in a nearby corner

looking like they were being debriefed for an assignment. We couldn't

believe that Mom would ask them to sing for Drena! Mom denied it...

And then the waitresses started to sing but to the table right behind us!

We found out the little girl behind us had had a birthday a couple of days

before. We told our waitress that Drena had a birthday the day before so

she asked if we would like them to sing to Drena. Drena didn't like that idea

but said that they could sing so long as they sang to Dad instead...
So they did!



I know this has nothing to do with Merle but I thought it
made a funny story!
