Card Night fid-Dar Ellis
Fil-1960s u 1970s kmieni tard, nanniet tiegħi użati biex jospita parti card kull xahar bi tlieta mill nannu Ellis’ aħwa u l-irġiel tagħhom. Uncle Tony u Aunt Agnes Giraudo, Uncle Oscar and Aunt Dorothy Von Berg along with Uncle Art and Aunt Betty Clemmings would join Grandma and Grandpa to play Pinochle. Kull familja se jospita logħba waħda karta xahar Sibt bil-lejl.
Nannu u Grandpa Ellis’ dar fuq Kingsland Qorti kellha room dining kbira. It-tabella dining room sib tmien normalment. L-irġiel affumikat imma jien ma nemminx nannu jew aunts kbir tiegħi affumikat. Kien tipjip li ġġib tagħhom jiem playing card fi tmiemu. Uncle Tony Giraudo żviluppaw kanċer tal-pulmun 1974.

Filwaqt nannu Ellis kellu erbatax-aħwa, hija kienet l-eqreb għall Aunt Agnes, Zija Betty, u Aunt Dorothy. The four families would do things with each other throughout the years. Meta Grandpa Ellis kellhom emboli tad-demm tiegħu fil- 1959 jew 1960, Mom kien fuq vacation mal Uncle Oscar u Aunt Dorothy. Nannu Ellis tkellmu Grandpa fis reġa 'lura lejn San. Louis, sabiex huma jkunu qrib tal-familja tagħha jekk meħtieġ jgħinu. Oscar Von Berg kien Grandpa Ellis’ aqwa ħabib u kellha aktar influwenza miegħu minn aktar.

Sometimes the brothers-in-law would get together to work on projects. Grandpa Ellis once told me that he and the other two brothers-in-law were helping Uncle Tony fix up his new house. Uncle Tony kien qed jaħdem fuq sellum, meta hu qisni kien se ponta. Hu laħaq sa stabbli lilu nnifsu u grabbed 110 wajer volt fil-limitu. Wara finalment let go lilu, ġġarraf l-art.
Meta semgħu lilu jaqgħu, Grandpa, Uncle Oscar u Uncle Art ġiet tiġri. Wara li għenuh biex saqajh, Uncle Tony talab, “X'inhu kwistjoni miegħek guys? I kien yelling my head off għalik.” Huma qallu li ma tisma xejn sakemm hu ġġarraf l-art. Hu kien qed jipprova Yell iżda l-elettriku kien qed iwaqqaf il-kliem milli joħorġu.

Meta Uncle Tony żviluppaw kanċer tal-pulmun, huwa verament hit dar għall Grandpa, Uncle Oscar u Uncle Art. Sfortunatament, il-logħob tal-karti waslet ukoll fi tmiemu.
