November 19 and 20, 2008: Aunts Betty and Teresa's Visit Part 1 of 2

Left to Right:  Aunt Teresa and Aunt Betty

A week before Thanksgiving, I was so excited to see 2 aunts of mine.  They are from Williamsport, Pennsylvania and 2 of my mother's 7 siblings.  Betty and Teresa are not married.  Betty is retired from being a nun and a nurse in her career but she's still a part of being nun.  Betty became a nun in the early 1960s.  Teresa is still a nurse to take care of an elderly person.  Both Betty and Teresa are living together at the blue house that was once belonged to my deceased grandparents.  The blue house was built by my grandfather as a birthday gift to his wife in, I think, 1983.  I had seen inside their blue house everywhere while I was growing up.  It was beautiful.  Long before Betty and Teresa moved into a blue house, they lived in a big apartment in downtown.  That's where my mother used to live there before she married my father.  Until the fire was first started in the roof of their big apartment, they moved to another apt on the 2nd floor in South Williamsport.  I visited them there often as a teenager.  I was having a hard time to go upstairs with a pair of canes but I got a help from my mother or someone carried me up in there.  Now, they were on a vacation at Disney World Resort in Orlando for few days until on Wednesday November 19th when they travelled to Ormond Beach for staying at Coral Sands Inn & Seaside Cottage.  They stayed at one of cottages.  Betty and Teresa came over to our mansion that evening for a visit.  When they came over, I was so glad to see them again and hugged them.

During a visit to our mansion that Wed evening, David was already there before them and we were chatting each other and had a good time with us.  They drank a soda and had a snack.  Later, Mom, Dad, Joe, David, and I were watching the ballet show that my cousin, Vanessa, teaches little, young, and teenage girls, and few boys on DVD video.  Betty and Teresa brought Vanessa's DVD video and gave it to us.  They were performed on the stage last summer, June 2008.  Wow, Vanessa's video show looks wonderful and she had a great job to do her work to help girls and boys.  And her sister, Tiffany, was involved in it.  Awww, so cute!  I can hear the music in the background with a pair of my hearing aids on.  It's beautiful.  I will watch it again the other time.  Aunt Teresa said I could be a ballerina.  Yes, I agreed with her.  I liked that way when I was a little.  After finished watching the DVD show, we were chatting again at the dining table.  I just learned Jennifer who was born with CP is in care of the other relative, not the other grandmother.  I was wrong.  It turned out the other daugther that Grandaunt Ann has.  I also learned her hubby, Cleo, is not doing well.  Aunt Teresa told me that Grandaunt Kitty is in a nursing home right now.  That's what she heard about.  Grandaunt Kitty is my Godmother, my mother's aunt, and my deceased grandfather's sister. Later that evening, both Betty and Teresa were returned to their hotel on the beachside.  Mom dropped them off there.  I was so glad to see them again.  It's been a long time.  I hugged both of them for the first time since the last time I saw them years ago when they came over.  They have had no idea Florida was having a cold weather since last Sunday.  It was still on until this weekend.  Betty and Teresa like our mansion very much.  They took a house tour by Mom before they left.
