The Hero Conquers the Dragon

Once upon a time there was a boy who LOVED his dragon kite from Grandma and Grandpa. It was a fine, VERY windy day and the boy decided to fly his kite. When he kindly let his younger brother hold the string, the kite pulled from his brother's tiny grasp and went sailing over the rooftops. The little boy Garrettt was beyond distraught, to the point of near hysteria.But hark and hallelughia, the string got caught on the rooftop of his house. Ahh, the dragon is saved, the boy is appeased and all is well. Now the dilemna, how to get the Kite untangled? Mom tries her hand at the pitiful feat while Dad waits below to "catch" the dragon. Mom gets the kite unhitched, hooray..... oh ooops, oh noooooo, the kite flies high and fast, racing past the waiting dad! Dad races off and Garrett dissolves into near hysteria once again. The kite flies at tremendous speed with Flash Gordon Dad in hot pursuit. They quickly leave our line of sight and fly toward the distand trees. Did Dad catch it? Is the kite safe? Is it caught in the trees. Is that the kite we see heading our way? Can it really be? Oh my glorious windy day... it is Dad pulling the now docile, once wayward dragon to his home. Dad the Hero conquers the dragon. Sweet memories in the making!

Few! What a story! Had me on edge the whole time. Hi Gundersen Family! It's me, Jody (Meunier) Roberts. I hope you don't mind me spying on your family from out here in CA. I just love your family too much to stay away. It's great to get a glimpse of you guys now and then. Sounds like all is well. Congratulations Cassi on a beautiful baby!
