Visit with U2

We were so thrilled to have Uncle Ruthie and Uncle Joe(hence the U2) stop by in Casper on their way east about a week after we moved in. We know that they had to drive out of their way to see us . They were officially our first visitors. They even did us a favor. There is this stop sign by the school down the street. The stop sign is actually a little out of line of sight, if you are new to the area, and Alex and Monique a week earlier had said "do you think there are any cops that patrol this sign?" and we concluded that there is never a cop there. Well, Uncle Joe met one of Caspers finest. We learned from Uncle Joe that all you have to say is "roger that" and you can get out of a ticket. We will try that next time and see if that works. We think that Joe got off the hook because it's another one of Ruthie's snorkels (good luck things that just happens to her).

We were thrilled to meet Joe and we like him and he really seems to like our Uncle Ruthie. It's a good thing since he is marrying her. She loves him too. We had a nice time ice skating, ate lunch with the whole motley crew (including Tony) at Subway and for dinner we had stuffed shells and a very colorful salad that Ruthie and Joe made. Thank you for that. Oh yes, let's not forget desert... peach cobbler. Yummy!

It's too bad that they will live so far away so we won't see them very often. Didn't get very many pictures so sorry. We will do better next time. We had a few pictures of Uncle Joe playing Guitar Hero but we can't fnd them right now. We will post them when we find them. He did very good and we were quite impressed with his progress in a matter of a few hours. We hope we have trained him well so that his other nieces and nephews will have be able to play more with him.
