family update....

ok, so my mother treated us to chinese takeout for mother's day lunch...and we received a detailed update of family news.......my dad's youngest brother is celebrating his 50th wedding anniversary........in texas...my mother has never liked the sister-in-law...and will not be making the trip...and the son of my dad's next oldest brother is no longer employed by hp (i do notknow how long it has been since he worked there...but he for sure does not now....)......and this cousin of mine...1 month younger....supports himself from rent from his cell-phone tower 'farm'........his parents farm had the name airy view......as it was atop the highest place near dresden,ohio......the home of longaberger baskets........anyway...he bought his mother's property, then built 3 cell phone towers, and now sits back and lives off the rent money..........he may or may not marry the mother of his son.............apparently the doing-nothing part bothers his mother, not the fact that he is making a decent income.......mother just spent a week with my aunt on a church 'mission' trip, and is up to date on all of these things.......too bad we don't own property on a high-up place......the cell-phone reception out our way is horrible........
