May 20, 2004 - Aunt Evelyn's 90th birthday dinner
Day 14

Aunt Evelyn -- she is a wonderful woman. Some of my fondest memories from when I was little was when I got to stay with her and Uncle Emmett (in the background). He would tell stories before bedtime (usually grim ones, where the little children in them came to an unpleasant end -- I was fascinated (and often sleepless!)).

She still makes stuffed animals by hand and takes them to craft shows to sell, makes cookies for bake sales, and up until a few years ago never missed playing baseball at the church picnics. Even into her eighties she would still go out and get groceries for those who could not get around as easily.

If there were more people in the world like these two, it would be a far, far better place.

Captivated by this one. Great perspective. Finding myself wondering what Aunt Evelyn is thinking, love her manner of dress. Your uncle in the background adds to the overall story. Great shot.

My favourite Aunt was Evelyn, ( Eva ) Yours looks marvelous too.

Wonderful shot. Reminds me of "Driving Miss Daisy", I don't know why.
