Surprise visit

My sister, Ann, and her husband, Tom came up for a visit to see his family in Bridgeport and stopped to see our mother on Monday(10-6). It was great seeing them as we haven't seem them for at least a year. I really can't remember the last time they were up from N. Carolina. They usually get up here at least once a year if they decide to do it on Tom's vacations. Ann doesn't have a job, I don't think?

They have been married for 39 years! They have been in NC for at 12 years and moved there because Tom's job moved there in 1994. He took a job here in NY for 2 years traveling 45 minutes both ways, and then got tired of doing it, so he found out his old job was hiring and they sold their house and moved out.. My brother, Paul moved his family the same time the company left. He has since gotten divorced and remarried this past year.

My sister, Ann, is into crafts and does a mean macrame. She also knits and crochets. She's also into gardening. Me, I like to do counted cross-stitch, and embroidery. My sister, Betsy does crafting also. Likes to work with her hands in her spare time. We all learned how to sew from our mother and learned different ways to do it in school, in Home Ec.

The other picture is of us 4 girls and looks somewhat like a mugshot, one of my sisters said! Oh, well, we took it on my camera and left it the way it was. They are as follows, me, Jeanne, Ann, and Betsy. Youngest to oldest, cool. Hadn't thought of that until just now!!!

Well, that's it for now. See ya soon.
