Wallpaper

While 2020 wasn't a travel year, we took rides and picnics, stayed in WV State Park Cabins and enjoyed the scenery in our own yard. Here are scenes from Bob's wallpaper-home, rail trail, Huntington, Valley Falls, Oglebay, WVU, Friendship Hill, Kirby, Grafton, Holly River, McConnells Mill, Stonewall, The Vegetable Garden, Cacapon, Muddy Creek, Teter Creek and Coopers Rock.
 

Meals

When the schools first shut down, we helped pack meal kits-lunches and breakfasts-for Mon County school kids. The next day we delivered the kits to Jakes Run and distributed most of them. We dropped our extras off at Statlers Country Store. We met nice people-many saying "God Bless You". We are blessed to have served.

Spring 2020

We did this for 5 or 6 weeks. That's Bob in the first picture, missing his 6 month haircut.

Moments

 

Life in this COVID pandemic world can get lonely. . . so it was especially nice to meet with old friends during the fall. I was fortunate to get together with my life long friend Vicki prior to her move to Florida, then to attend a retirement for colleagues Brenda & Anne with my friend Betty.

Inside the sewed on pocket are thank yous and notes from these friends.

Sixty Six

We celebrated Bob's birthday at our favorite Cabin 1 (Holly River) getaway.

Got My Wish

 

"Got my wish-you" were the printed words on his anniversary card. We celebrated fittingly with a picnic at Chestnut Ridge Park. You've had my love and devotion for 44 years. . . I'm ready for many more!" 2020

I've been sewing pockets on my pages-placing treasured ephemera or pictures inside the pocket. This one has Bob's beautiful card and some pictures of us over the years.

Together

Mom's memorial was held on what would have been her 95th birthday. After the chapel service, each of the attendees lay a red rose on the grave where Dad is also buried. The celebration of life was special-Mom would have enjoyed it all.

Mom

Mom passed away June 26 at home in her living room chair. She was happy and not sick, just ready to rest. Terry and Jimmy have been taking good care of her in the shutdown. She enjoyed the lunches the Tri-Towns Sr. Center brought her daily and smiled at the driver when he brought her meal the day she passed. She loved Amy’s daily calls from Cleveland. We took her an ice cream sundae the day before (which she enjoyed) and she held my hand, blowing kisses.

Plans are to have her memorial August 31 which would have been her 95th birthday. She was planning on living till then. She'll be buried with Dad at Rocky Gap Veterans Cemetery.
