I'm certain we all drove our Sorensen cousins crazy with our TV addictions. I was especially entranced with the commercials...the doublemint twins, m & m's melt in your mouth now in your hands. Do remember that Uncle Ed and Aunt Delilah would turn off the sound on the TV whenever there was a comercial? I remember going to visit Grandma Sorensen when Uncle Keith and Aunt Vera lived in a little apartment in the back part of her house and shared the bathroom with Grandma. The had two doors in the bathroom, one went to their bedroom and one to Grandma's room. Uncle Keith used to chase us around and threaten to tie my shoe laces together so I couldn't chase Kathy. I think you were probably too little to remember those times. Once I remember staying with Grandma for a few days. I think Kathy was there too. I loved laying on Grandma's bed and tracing the quilt blocks on her crazy quilt. I could see dress fabric I remembered from of her clothes. I loved that quilt. I really liked our trips to Idaho except that I, like you, also felt like a poor step child when we stayed with Uncle Richard and Aunt Norma. Do you remember when they would stop and see us on their summer trips to California? They had a travel trailer behind their car and they would stay in the trailer. Once Linda (who was my age) told me that her mom didn't like to come and see us because we were poor and mom always fixed creamed tuna on toast for lunch! I was so made that I didn't want to see them again for a long time. I actually loved mom's creamed tuna on toast and thought it one of the yummy things she made and I didn't understand why Aunt Norma didn't value it as much as I did. Fun memories of Idaho.
