Saturday trip to The Range

Growing up, it always felt like I had two grandmas on my dad’s side.  My Grandma Fran was a twin, which made us the recipients of double the love, homemade bread, and prayers.

We were able to make a trip up to see my Great Aunt Helen (and introduce her to Shecklet #4) today.  Jake and I got to spend almost 2 hours with her, listening to stories about the early years of her marriage and motherhood.  Meanwhile, my dad’s cousins, Mary & Helen, were kind enough to keep the Shecklets entertained – such a gift!

After visiting Auntie Helen, we called and left a message for my Aunt Ann and Uncle Gene to see if they wanted to meet us for dinner.  After attempting to decode the message we left, (apparently the background noise of the wind made the message nearly impossible to understand) my uncle called back and invited us to their house for dinner. We had a great time catching up and eating together as a family!

I am so thankful for this day and the memories we made!
