Aunt Helen

(Click on photos to enlarge)



Aunt Helen came to stay with us a couple of nights, and we've had a ball. We went to church, had tea, ate enchiladas, sang a bit, looked at old pictures, laughed, and mostly talked about how much we both love all of you.


She is, at this moment, on her way from our house to Rachel's, in Mississippi. Please say a prayer for her.


We took her to the Dallas Arboretum & Botanical Gardens, which she just loved. We've spent many days there with people we love over the years. It's one of the most beautiful places on this earth to spend a leisurely day just strolling and quietly visiting. So beautiful, actually, that it made her cry.




Wish you all could have been with us!

I'm telling.
