Nancy & Charlene


Nancy and her daughter Charlene both worked in the WVU HSC Kitchen in the 1980s.  Charlene worked in Cold Production with a team of women, making salads and setting up patient trays. Nancy was a cook. In the 1997 picture, she was the HSC breakfast and grill cook. There she filled a steam line with breakfast eggs, meat, gravy, oatmeal and potatoes. Nancy also made eggs to order. She served many Cafeteria breakfast customers from the grill-one of the hardest jobs in the whole department. Charlene was kind and seemed happy with an ornery smile. Nancy was dedicated and worked hard.

I was tickled when remembering Charlene's then teenager son Michael exclaiming my name at the funeral of one of these ladies. Much later in life, Michael still remembers my name, as the postman who delivers my mail.

The New Year brought lots of snow and cold temperatures. Bob kept us shoveled, safe, stocked and happy together.

Believe

 

We took a different route to visit Chris this season which included time in Gettysburg and surrounding Amish Country. Hank loved visiting the grandparents for the holiday!

Happy Season


 This has been a happy season of my life.  Few appointments-enjoying retirement life with Bob. Together we have so much fun doing everyday things.

Fall

 

October is almost over yet the weather is still summer-like. We may be in a drought, yet the warm temperatures and beautiful skies were back drops to our afternoons on the deck and rides on West Virginia back roads throughout. It was great weather for a visit from Hank while Chris traveled to scenic Vermont.

Good Place

 

When he stopped at Biggies for lunch, Bob said "See, I take you all the good places".  Thanks for taking me all the good places.  Bob's 70th birthday. (Black and white photo from the 1970s).

48 Fun


Our wedding anniversary was marked by taking an overnight trip to Winchester, Virginia.  Bob and I enjoyed beautiful landscape and home-style cooking there with orchard fruit and artisan baked goods to take home.  So happy to spend those 48 years with him.
