Yes... your mom was famous for her african violets and always put the kettle on when we would drop by for a visit... and out came the dutch cheese... I remember George rounding up the neighbourhood kids to pick potatoes... we had such a good time in those days.... They are and still talked about with fondest memories by my mom and dad... and me of course... We miss you a lot... and hope and pray that one day we can all re-unite...
