Shirley and Carol
Jeanne and I were going through things the other day looking at the kids thing and some of them were the things that they did with Ruth in ceramics.
We often talk about Ruth and everyone.
We are now in Georgia living next door to Robyn and her family. We really enjoy our grand daughters.
Our thoughts are with you.
Love
