How the stories of my Aunt Karen are being told, again, to the *next* generation of children in the family at our household. Also, how I am passing the tradition of a certain sentence down to my dog.

Growing up in my household, as the youngest of four girls, our Aunt Karen, my Mom's half-sister, would drive us around certain places when Mom just could not be in two places at once. Aunt Karen would tell us, as children, that she had dated certain men, like Persident Reagan and Nixon, Dancing Bear, Snoopy, and other characters. We believed her with all of our heart and soul too till we were old enough to know better!

Now, the grandchildren are ages 12 and 6 years. They like certain Texas Rangers players and Aunt Karen is their Great Aunt Karen and she has told them she has *Dated the certain Texas Ranger player* ! It is nice to see the traditions going down again in the family!

I, myself, have passed on a *whole sentence* that I learned as a toddler and now my dog, Foxxy, knows what that sentence means! When I was a baby/toddler my first words were a complete sentence! They were the words, "Let's go!" I say that to my dog, Foxxy, now, every time we go out for a walk! (Smile)
