Visit With Old Friends....

Before coming to town, Lisa had called and asked if I'd help her get hold of some old friends from when she lived in New York... Ralph & Beth... She had lived with them for a short time and during that time they built a very close and loving relationship....She had hoped her and Ed could take an afternoon to visit them at their home in Lowville, but as it turned out they would be closer to our area and asked if they could just drop by our home instead... Well of course... We loved the idea...Here they are getting caught up with all the news in each other's lives since they last seen each other.... (the young fella over to the right is their grandson).....

Lisa & Ralph......

The quilt in the picture below, is a gift Ralph & Beth received for their recent 50th Wedding Anniversary... (They were also married on July 12th)..... Beth's sister, Birdie, makes quilts and she put this one together with the help of other family members... She sent each one the square material and asked them to create their own square with whatever they wanted to personalize their wishes to Ralph & Beth.... Once she got the squares back, she put them all together to make this gorgeous quilt....

Nice quilt, huh Vicky!!! Will send you some more close up pictures as well....
