Cousins Weekend

The first weekend of May, I met Patsy in Brigham City so we could visit with some of our cousins and gather more family history information to go in the books that Patsy has been working on for four years! Our cousin Elaine, (Aunt May's daughter) and her husband Bliss Law were gracious and let us stay with them in Brigham City then we traveled to Wellsville and Smithfield to visit other cousins, Orlin and Launa. We had so much fun visiting with them and renewing our family ties. I think we have a terrific family.
Richard surprised us by being at Launa and Royce's home to help with their parent's histories, (Uncle Rupert and Aunt Barbara).

The keepsakes that our cousins showed us brought back a little nostalgia.
Launa had this picture of my grandparents, Hettie May Dredge and Alma Hyrum Lusk.

I remember that Grandma Lusk always had milk in this little corn cob pitcher.


And this is Grandma and Grandpa Lusk's clock. It has a wonderful, deep chime.
There you go. Now you have seen a few of my childhood memories.

At first I looked at the picture of Patsy and thought to myself, "wow, Patsy must have a twin". Then I quickly realized that I would have obviously met her twin by now!

Love the old family heirloms...those are treasures. Glad you had a great time!
