Family

My great uncle Darrel passed away last week. He was my maternal grandfather's brother. My mother, two sisters and brother were able to make it down for the funeral. It was great to see everyone again even under the sad circumstances.

Front - Great Aunt Blanche


I was also able to see my Great Aunt Blanche. She is 88 years old and still as ornery as ever, of course most the time it is all in good fun. I hope to be as lively as she is when I am her age! She is really doing great. She still lives on her own but her daughter is just down the street if she needs anything. She used to make the best cheese and fudge. I am so lucky to have her as my Great Aunt - she is such a great example.
