Sister Act!


Alice was here for 10 days or so, but it coincided with our travels to Oregon for Ry's funeral, so we were not able to spend as much time together as we had planned.  We did enjoy an outing to JoAnn's - it's always fun to fabric shop with Alice.
 

But we did head out to Claremont to visit Aunt Mercedes, Byron's wife.  We had a delightful visit, and I plan to visit her again soon.  She had lots of great stories to tell - not just about Byron, but about her own life and background - much of it I had never heard before.
 

We especially enjoyed oohing and ahhing over Byron's '69 Camaro!!  Apparently it's something Dale had dreamed of owning!

Hopefully I can plan a trip to Utah at some point - and Alice will come again.  Hopefully she will miss any planned heat waves when she does come again!  (I must say, she is a really good sport about ghastly hot days - probably because she's had experience with so many kinds of weather!  Didn't hear her complain!)
