Aunt Bert

My Great Aunt Bert is turning 93 years old in July.  Her birthday is only 4 days before mine!  She grew up in San Antonio and has lived in the area most of her life.  She has some great stories about my granddad, who I never got the chance to meet.  I would have had a great time with him playing tricks on Nana!  HA HA HA! 

We met Aunt Bert for lunch and also dinner.  We took a break in between so that I could go back to the hotel and swim in the pool.  Here is a photo of me and Aunt Bert.  She doesn’t even look close to being 93!

Before we met up for dinner, we decided to go to the backyard of Aunt Bert’s house and check out the river.  The river was pretty low, and it was hard to imagine this river rose up 50 feet and flooded her house back in the early 2000s.

I was throwing rocks in the river and learning how to skip stones.  The flat ones are the best!  It was super hot and humid outside and I got a big red face.

My dad told me the story that when he came here in 1978, he and Uncle Mickey would fish right here on the bank, so I pretended to fish too!



I caught a gigantic 45 foot fish!!!!!



I had a great time hanging out with my dad at Aunt Bert's house.  I had to take one last photo so I will always remember it!
