This is her house:
It was originally built by a doctor a LONG time ago (I believe 1939) and it was used as a hospital at one time. There is a museum right across the street from her house and they had a picture of the doctor who built the house and the correct year it was built, so I'm pretty sure that is accurate. Pleasant Hill was founded in 1936, right next to where this house is.
She told me I could take some pictures of the pictures she had hanging up, so I did that. I wish I would have had a scanner to scan them in, but the pictures were the best I could do.
This is Homer and Rena, not sure when, but a while ago. (Homer passed away right before I met Todd in 1998.)
And a picture of Rena when she was much younger (she turned 97 this year).
A picture of Rena and Todd's dad, Larry:
Larry (Sr. Picture, maybe?):
Larry and Nel (Todd's parents):
Todd as a baby (I see a resemblance to McKenna!) :
I'm not sure how old Todd was here:
Todd's Senior picture:
We took a trip to Pittsfield to the nursing home where she lives, and she wanted me to see the WWII memorial (Todd's grandfather was over there in the war):
I also stopped by my brother's house in St Louis for the night on Sept. 8 (Tues). We went to a casino for a little - I put $10 in a slot machine and on the first pull I won $22! I SHOULD have cashed out then, but of course I didn't and played until I spent about $20. It was a lot of fun and I really enjoyed visiting with him again! It had been too long!
I took two days to drive home, stopping in Tulsa for the night, then got home yesterday, Sept 10 (Tab's 25th birthday). I'm trying to get things caught up at the house, but have an order for another purse (my aunt), another purchase on my etsy shop, so mailed that and Madge's belt loop bag out today.
