Cindy and Sherry standing on a platform at the top of Squaw Valley.
They had to ride this enclosed transport on a cable to the top.
I said, “NO.”
I am not doing that, as did Buck, who decided to stay with me.
It went up and over a high mountain and out of sight.
They were told that the resort that was up there with a pool-
would be completely covered in snow at the peak of winter.
The cable car they went up in –
Looked like it would hold a dozen people.
From this view-
Buck and I were way down the mountain, out of sight from here.
We sat in the shade at a coffee shop and had coffee while we waited for them to come back down!
Squaw Valley gets dozens of feet of snow each year.

Mary – my mother!
She was kind – a great baker – and even though she was not very big-
She ruled our house.
Everyone in Eldred knew her.
She would sit on her front porch ( That is where I get that from)-
And cars would go by.
She lived on North Main Street, and that was the main street that came through town.
North to New York State and South into Pa.
People would honk their horns.
Roll windows down and slow down –
And “HELLO MARY” as they slowly passed by.
I would ask who that was, and she just smiled and said, “Oh, someone I know!
People would stop and get out of their cars and come and sit with her on the porch.
Even though my sister and brothers and I had left-
Our friends growing up would come and see her.
She was a fixture in that small town and almost 98 years old when she passed.
Her smile and kind ways I shall always remember.
MARY – MY MOTHER!

Little Cassidy and “GIGI”!
This was Barb – Sherry’s mother, whom all the children called “GIGI”!
This is the sidewalk of MOUNT JEWETT, PA.
This town was settled back in the 1800s by a Swedish community from Sweden.
Barb’s mother was born in Sweden.
Cassidy had a close affection for “GIGI” and would offer her little hand to walk with her.
Wherever “GIGI” was –
Cassidy was close by.
They had a relationship that lasted until “GIGI” passed away.

Sherry serving Communion Wine at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C.
Our life for twenty-one years was much different than today.
This was through our church and our Pastor Joe.
We were deeply involved and had many experiences in Washington.
We went to many services here at the Cathedral.
A part of our lives we look back on fondly.
