Two pages about Mom from my aunt’s scrapbook. My mom is on the right with her little sister, my aunt.
Today we pick up my aunt from the airport. She’s coming to visit us for the first time in Arizona. I have all sorts of fun things planned including visiting the MIM, the Musical Instrument Museum, where they have an Elvis exhibit (My aunt is a big Elvis fan.) We’ll have time to sit and talk. Also, go out to lunch, drive to the nearby lake and explore the tiny towns close to where I live. I’m also hoping it will be cool enough at night to light the outdoor fireplace and make s’mores. I’ve been all set since my kids visited a few weeks ago, but we had a heat wave!
Here they are years later in 2015 at our family reunion at our riverfront property in Robe, Washington. The fireplace in the background is what remains of our cabin that my parents built more than 65 years ago.
I am so looking forward to spending a few days with my aunt. It certainly helps that she’s my closest connection to Mom, who passed away from COVID this year. Also, that she is the kindest, sweetest person I know.
Who are visitors that you welcome with open arms?
What a beautiful, sweet, sweet connection! Have a blessed celebration and reunion!
Thank you. I’m so looking forward to her visit!
Enjoy your time together. Nothing better than getting together with those people we love.
So true!
Awe, I love that your aunt is visiting. Have a wonderful time, share those fond memories, and warm each others hearts. Hugs, C
Thank you! So far it’s going swimmingly. 💕
My favorite photo is brother, sister and little sis! Have a great time with your aunt 🙂
Just so you know, when I try to read this post from WP reader the like and comment options are not available. Yours in among a few others without that option today so WP is having issues I assume…
I found the same issue today with WP reader.
Glad you are aware EA, just didn’t want you to think no one was reading your post 🙂
I wondered why I wasn’t getting any comments today and then I couldn’t comment on others…I figured it out, thankfully.
Oh, what a beautiful post about all the reasons your aunt is so dear. Time for s’mores! I hope you have a wonderful time!
So far it’s been fabulous!
Finally, I can like and comment on your post. What a wonderful occasion to welcome your dear aunt to your home. Beautiful memories associated with family.
Thank you! There was something glitchy going on with WP. I couldn’t comment either on other people’s posts
