April 20, 1993: Had over 1-1/2 inches of rain from Sunday evening until Monday evening. Rained steadily all day yesterday. Called Raymond this evening for his birthday -- was 90 degrees there. (Irene fell sometime during the night of April 15 -- her eye was swollen shut and black and blue -- was taken to Lady of Lourdes Hospital -- she was abusive and hard to control. Tuesday, April 20 she was back at Bel Air -- was quiet but was vague about where she was, etc.)
April 21, 1993: Busy Bees met at Ruby R.'s.
I know some of this is a repeat of what Grandma already said about Aunt Irene, but there's a bit more information in this entry, so I included it. It is very difficult for me to imagine Aunt Irene abusive or hard to control, but I understand how that situation can come to be. We have sooooo many fun and happy memories of her that this is just a small blip on the screen. With that in mind, here's a photo of her (and Grandpa) when she was young and just starting a life of adventure and fun and travel and bunches of good things! I love the bow -- it's almost as big as Grandpa's head.
