This is a picture of Mom, Aunt JJ, and Faye McDonald Gillogley (she says you have to gurgle when you say it). This picture was taken outside the Sandstone Mansion (at least I think that's where it was). This mansion had the best food. It also had Christmas stuff EVERYWHERE!!!
Faye came down for our Thanksgiving and boy did she have some stories to tell. She was Ma's next door neighbor when Dad and his sisters were little. Apparently this neighborhood was very close.
Faye called one of the neighbors one day....said she was working for the telephone company and they were going to be cleaning the lines...if she could just put her telephone in a paper bag, it would keep her house from getting all dirty. Faye said the next thing you heard was a paper bag rattling.
Ma also told me that on your birthday you always had dinner prepared for you. They forgot someones birthday and ended up bringing it over to them on their hands and knees.
It was so much fun spending time with Ma and Chuck over Thanksgiving. We ate WAY too much, worked on some color transfer, and even knitted. Chuck and I also tried to fix their Christmas lights....although I don't think I was much help! Family time truly is priceless.
