| Mary Ellen's parents were a favorite of
mine! Especially her mother Cora, my mother's sister. Cora was
always kind and Mary Ellen said she thought a lot of me. So nice to
hear. Mary Ellen and her husband travel around the country doing
estimates on vintage cars and I hope they will be out on the west coast
sometime to visit me! Mary Ellen still lives in the same house that
I remember after 40 years! So goes things in Freeport.
She took us to lunch at the Mechanics Shed and of course, we had a regular
mid-west breakfast! We talked for over five hours and we could have
talked some more. I forgot to take our pictures so, until Mary Ellen
sends my an update, the above one will have to do. She also was so
kind and gave my sister and myself quilts made by our grandmother! (Can you believe
it, who do you think had this picture? My friend Frans in
Holland. We sent it to him almost 55 years ago. He thought it
was my favorite sister, Yvonne! Check the
story out on my Netherlands link, a very interesting story!) |
