Brother Bob

What a great weekend this was as my brother Bob came in Friday from Saint George, Utah for one of his famous short visits. He left for home mid afternoon Monday.

Since the passing of Bob's wife Linda, brother Bob has taken the the lead in us connecting as brothers do and I for one am enjoying it. As I sit having conversation with Bob I can't help but stare as I realize he looks so much like our dad it is uncanny.

Interestingly when we are together it reminds me of duo's like the Smothers Brothers, Rowen and Martin or maybe Abbott and Costello, of course I am the funny one he is the straight man.
It's fun working on our act for Vicki (who rolls her eyes in hysterics, I think that's why she rolls them)and the clerks in the stores who appear to enjoy it, even though the younger ones don't always understand the humor, but that won't stop us.

I will say, even though I am the younger one, he makes me tired just watching him in action as he is in high speed mode most of the time.

Thank you brother Bob for another great visit but hurry back because the bushes need a good trimming, windows need washing and the garage needs cleaning. I will sit in the shade sipping on my ice tea, polish my supervisory skills and of course keep you laughing while you work. A happy worker is a hard worker.

When you have him all trained at the skills you just mentioned we should suggest he come to my house. It could really use being whipped into shape. Thanks for being there for him, he has enjoyed you just as much as you have enjoyed him!! Family is what it is all about! Vicki deserves a medal for putting up with both of you.

That's really great that you two are seeing each other more - even better that he wants to work around the house. I'd love to be a fly on the wall laughing it up. Bring him to the park next time.
