Dear Edith and Earl,
Sorry ya'll couldnt make it to the family reunin over to the Burny Tree last week, so jest thot I would take me a minet and share what some of the other reltives had to say bout findin there way down to the reunin.
Tell you won thing for sure ole Mabel she was mad as an ol' wet hen after she drove round and round Tulsey doin her darndest lookin for them signs sayin she was finaly at the Buring Tree, and she nevr shut up fussin the hole time she was here, cause they couldnt find no signs.
I sware to goodness the only time she laffed was when she was tellin all them reltives bout the strang sites she saw wile drivin round to find our house. She was drivin that ole caddylac the one the size of my fishin boat, and she slams on them brakes cause she jest culdnt beleve what she was seein. When she got up on it it was these klumps of grasses that had looked like some dead road kill from far aways.
Now mind you, Mabel was alrady gettin purdy hysterikal bout now, what with not bein able to find out if she was even in the Burny Tree. Thats why Mable was so late gettin to the house, cause she kept looking fore them signs sayin she had finly made it to the Burny Tree! We are still hooting bout that to this very day.
She seen the painter the Master Tree musta hired to paint some signs. But them fancy foren words
he was spray paintn everwhere din't look like it said they was at the
Burny Tree. Earlie junor got out and hollered at him to tell him
to make it plainer so's folks would know that they was in the rite
place.
This must be a rite fancy neighborhood to be able
to hire a sign painter from a foren country. The dood kept holding up a
finger to tell Earlie junor he'd be with him in a minute but them minutes in
that foren country must be real long 'cause he was showing jest one more minute ever time Earlie junor would holler at him askin how much longer.
Now you din't hear this from me but I'd think that Master Tree sign painter could at least smile and ackt more friendly to people when he is telling them jest one more minute. But maybe he's upset that he was trying to draw a tree and painting it in red so's ever one would know they was in Burny Tree and he never could get it right .
Ill be a writin more later to tell you bout all them fine foods we had ourselves to eat at the reunin, and to lets you know when they gits them some signs over to the Burny Tree, so ya'll wont have the same hard times findin out if you in the rite place.
Will
