Relatives

Life sometimes gets in the way of keeping in touch with friends and relatives.   Sometimes people move.  Sometimes people just get busy and drift away.

Meet Bob and Elsie!  Well...meet Bob first.!

Bob spent years in the military and retired to life in Alaska and Arizona where he had fun homesteading and prospecting.   Bob is one "can-do" guy.  I have a lot of respect for him.



Now meet Elsie!

Elsie is the only surviving sister of my maternal grandmother.   Her health is failing.  But, she refuses to give up on her hobbies and passions.
 

Bob and Elsie have been married for something like 100 years!   And, he has supported her hobbies without question.   He is quite proud of her.

 She sews and knits.  This flag is amazing.


 And, she did this owl from a photograph.


She gets up in the middle of the night and works for about 3 hrs when it is quiet.  Then, back to bed to sleep late in the morning.

It was wonderful seeing you both.  It has been much too long.

Thanks Bob and Elsie
