A Visit with Aunt Evie...

Among the good reasons why we made this trip to Pennsylvania, one of the best was that we planned a visit with Aunt Evie.  Evie lives in Montoursville, which is a very pleasant town in northeast Pennsylvania.  She has lived there or in Williamsport since 1998, because my cousin Pam and her husband Bill make their home in Williamsport.

But Evie did not always live in that part of PA.  For most of her life she lived in Pittsburgh, and in the 10 years that we were in Pittsburgh, Aunt Evie and Grandma Lucy were just five miles from our home.  That was so very special.  We were able to get together for holidays and ordinary days.  When John and then Anne were each born, they had a visit with Grandma and Evie on their way home from the hospital.  Those were treasured times.

We had a nice drive up the Susquehanna River and lunch with Pam and then a very pleasant visit with Aunt Evie, who did not know we were coming.  I think you can tell we were all savoring our time together...
