Aunt Dorothy was the best caretaker when I was sick from school and Grandma wasn't around. I recall bowling on the bricks on the west side of her
house. Just rolling the ball not even having any pins but it sure was fun. I will always cherish and love her. ~ Janelle Madsen Popwell Wellington, Texas (2/1/2002)
