Family Reunion

Carolyn got to travel to Illinois for the Hulvey family reunion. She had a good time catching up with aunts, uncles & cousins that she hadn't seen in a long time. She was able to meet up with relatives from both her Mom's family and her Dad's family.

Carolyn and her Dad show off how high the corn is ("as high as an elephant's eye" -- and they were in Illinois not Oklahoma).

Shortly after she returned, she got a phone call that her mom was gravely ill. Carolyn was able to spend 3 days with her mother before she passed away on August 20. It was a sad relief! No more suffering.

But life goes on. We are now both in full swing of teaching . . . weekends are sure nice!
