A Family Visit

 Earlier in the summer we had Trish’s ninety-two-year-old mother, Betty, at our house for five weeks. It was a wonderful visit.

Yesterday we drove from Bentonville over to Claremore, Oklahoma, to have a visit with Betty’s baby brother, Uncle Truman, and his wife, Aunt Linda.

Uncle Truman, Trish, and Aunt Linda.

They are both retired teachers and are totally full of stories and memories of family events including many from Trish’s childhood.  We had a wonderful story sharing time. Also, like me, they both drove school buses when growing up.

Uncle Truman is also a skilled and artistic woodworker.  We got to visit his shop and he even gave Trish a beautiful wooden pie box that he designed and perfectly crafted.

A tour of the woodworking shop.

We had a wonderful time and look forward to stopping there again on another adventure.
