Mom and I drove down to Madison on a very hot day last week. We had something important to pick up from Rosemary. :) Audrey was home and we met her for lunch too. First she gave us a tour of her home that she and Gay have restored. It had lots of beautiful woodwork and many neat features. My favorite room was the dining room with a recliner in the bay window and computer-everything you need right there! It was a very cozy spot and Audrey says it's Gay's favorite chair. The quilt above was hanging in their guest room was made by Great Grandma Lillie Loney. Isn't it pretty?
We went out for lunch with Rosemary and afterwards met her parents (Bert & Elva) and daughter (Annie) for coffee & dessert at Rosemary's house in town. Rosemary has a permanent home in New Jersey. Bert and Elva will move here this fall from their farm a few miles out. Rosemary bought this house last summer and has been restoring it ever since. It's a darling Cape Cod.
Rosemary is a first cousin to Mom & Audrey. Annie(visiting and helping out this week) is in this photo and also lives in NJ and works in a hospital. She spent a week in St. Marten last winter with Mom and Rosemary. They had a great time together. Elva is my Grandpa Anderson's sister. She is 94! You may notice that Burt's arm is in a sling. He broke it trimming branches as he was perched on a trailer and fell. He is doing very well.
We'll end this post with another quilt, this one by Rosemary and hangs in her living room. She is a very talented seamstress as you can see. Before Rosemary retired she had a cake decorating business and sold her fondant frosting forms to people including Martha Stewart!

Love this post! I sent Mom a link to your blog so she can read this also. Thanks for the pictorial story.
Laurie, Just a note. It was great grandma Lillie Loney. I hadn't caught that earlier.
Thanks, Kris!! You're an awesome editor. :)
Yeah, Just a nag about those things. But then if you were old like I am, you would remember these names better. I will stop proofreading now. Kris
