Family Dinner in Deer River

I was home for a quick 24 hours but enjoyed a nice visit with my family. There were 26 of us that went out to dinner on Friday night and a good time was had by all. We hear another wedding is to take place this summer, can you guess who? (you can always leave a comment at the end of each group of pictures!)

Fairy in a Jar

This is my niece Angie, she is attending Brown College for Photograpy and I believe she took this picture of herself. I just love it and she said I could share it! Isn't it amazing what a camera and some talent can do? You go girl!

We share in each other's sorrows.....

I went to my friend Carol's Mom's funeral today, I can honestly say that I know how she feels. It was my first funeral since going to Mom's and I did OK...I just remember what a comfort it was having my friends support me that day.

Here is Lois, Carol and I, friends from Nursing School....

and Katie, Phil and Carol. Katie is their oldest daughter who is in her Internship in Chicago after graduating from Medical School. What a nice gal she is! They do have 3 more children but they disappeared before the photos!

The North Shore

I drove up the North Shore this morning after an overnight 2 inches of fresh snow. I love this place on Stoney Point Road and my van always turns down this road. This little fishing shack has always been my little dream cottage on the lake! If I have taken you here, you must be special!

The Oldest Living Graduate of St. Luke's School of Nursing!

What a fun experience I had this morning by meeting Eleanor! She graduated from St. Luke's School of Nursing in 1931 (I graduated there in 1974). She just celebrated her 102 birthday on January 21st! She has some hearing loss and some visual loss but we communicated fairly well by me speaking right into her right ear. She is so sweet and said to me,"I just can't believe I have lived this long, my daughter says there must be a reason!". What an honor for me to meet her.
