We are so happy to be here. Today (Monday) met my Aunt Ann at her yarn factory--Brown Paper Packages. It was amazing to see how big her company has become. I always love looking at all the colors of yarn. It also brings back good memories of her workshop in her basement and looking at all the canvases she would paint when she was in the needlepoint business.She took us on the grand tour of Ft. Thomas so the kids could see all my favorite places and where Grandpa Ellison grew up and had many adventures. We even went to Tough Street and showed them where Filthy McNasty lives. The farther down the street you lived the tougher you were. Filthy lived at the end. He ate nails for breakfast. I've told my dad he needs to start telling his grandkids about Filthy so the legend will live on.
We went to visit my cousin Matt who recently suffered a spinal injury, but is doing well and is now able to walk with a walker. It was nice to see him upright!
Then we were off to Ridgewood to show the kids the apartments and met my Uncle Nick and my cousin John was there with his kids Ben and Megan. It was fun to meet them. Nick and Ann took us to Nick's Hofbrauhaus in Newport for dinner. My cousins Andy and Sam stopped by to say hello. It was so fun to see them. They are two of my favorite people. Always smiling and making me laugh!
It's quite an experience to spend FHE at a Bier Hall. It was fun to see my grandfather's mission pictures from Germany that they blew up to adorn the walls. Conflict of interest? I'm sure it is safe to say it's the only Bier Hall with mission pictures on the wall. The kids loved the accordion player...Seth d
anced all night long.It was such a treat to spend some time with my family.
