Great Aunt Louise (Weezie) = and = =Great Uncle Glenn Miller = =﻿It all started with Great Uncle Glenn being born on March 30th,1904. Then Great Aunt Louise was born on August 31st, 1926. When Uncle Glenn was only 4 months old, him and his family moved to the "new" (but now very old and crumbling) farmhouse it was built in 1904. The farmhouse was very interesting and very big. It had 4 bedrooms, a fireplace in everyroom, a kitchen,a pantry, 1 bathroom, and a huge porch. The house also had all gas lights, and a 13" television that ran on the car battery and when the picture would dim,you would know that you had to go out and start up the car to charge the battery. = =When Glenn married Weezie on August 11th,1954 Weezie moved in with Glenn and were the perfect couple, of a farmer and a housewife. They had a farm with cows, bulls, chickens, roosters, and pigs. My mother and her siblings used to go and stay at Weezie's house every summer. My mom said they had a lot of fun and good memories at that house. Aunt Weezie was a great cook and would go out and pick berries and make pies and jam. Aunt Louise and Uncle Glenn had a great life and loved to sit on the porch and read or listen to the radio. Great Uncle Glenn loved to farm, he would butcher, feed, harvest, and garden regular produce. = =Great Aunt Louise would cook everything that came out of the garden and crops. When the new technology came out, they never upgraded or used electricity. They always did the same thing until tehy died. Weezie was a great story-teller, and my mom told me one of them. When a kid went to the store, he decided to go through the woods and explore. When he did, he fell in a hole in the middle of the trail. He fell in a magical world that was inhabited with tigers and giraffes and a whole bunch of other animals that would be in Africa. All of the animals could talk! It was amazing to him and he stayed there for many years and then one day, he decided to try to go home. When he attempted to,he would jump and jump. He tried many times but never succeeded. One day he came upon a human and they were about the same age. Then they came upon another human and then another,and another. Then one day,there were enough people to start a world and they did. = =Great Uncle Glenn died on August 4th, 1986. Great Aunt Louise died on January 7th, 1995. All in all, Weezie and Glenn were a great couple and had a great life. =
