I remember staying with Uncle Si and Aunt Alice 34 years ago. Cal and I had a Lutherans for Life national conference in Dallas and they invited us to stay with our 2 little kids. Danny was 4 years old then and Katie was maybe about 8 months. Katie got sick on the airplane while we were enrolled to Dallas. Aunt Alice got us in to a local pediatrician and she was found to have an ear infection, (one of her many). Aunt Alice offered to watch Katie for us one day until the medication took hold while she encouraged us to still attend the conference. We later took Katie and Danny with the following days. She made a lovely dinner one night and invited Joe and Julie and Tim and Karen. Tim took pictures of Danny holding a real gun in his "Sheriff Rusty" outfit. The meal was excellent and they were both such gracious hosts!
I'm thrilled to have gotten one of her lovely paintings after her sister-in-law, Rosalie, passed. I see it daily and it always reminds me of her. 🥰
