Weekend

Ingrid’s reason for coming home before thanksgiving was to attend a big wedding. She and Justin made it back home to Foley, Al. I think it’s an 8 hour drive.
The sisters are much alike in looks, but still different. Ingrid said their expressions are often the same,

These are two brothers they grew up with. The young man by Sig asked her to a dance once. She was mad at him and said no. Two years later she asked him. He remembered and say NO. They really liked each other a lot, but no stopped it all. Now, it’s all past and they are free to care as friends again.

My only Sister came Saturday. She brought T-bone steaks. She left early Sunday because she still works a regular job. She knows me deep, and still she cares for me. She was carrying one of Helen’s old purses and brought me Helen’s old cane. 
We have found a mystery. Our Grandmother Powell may have been married before Grandpa. This article was in the Berryville paper in our county in 1909. I think they really never married. Maybe her father stopped the event. We’re going to check for a marriage license for this month and year—1909 December. In April of 1910, she’s with her parents and it says single. She is still teaching at Blackoak School. She married Grandpa in April 1911. The article is strange as it’s signed a friend! Weird.

The girls are so pretty! Good that Fleta visited you and brought steaks! That is an interesting article and I hope you get to the bottom of that mystery!

What a joy to have a visit from your sister! I don't remember the last time I had a steak; my late husband was very fond of T-bones. That's quite a mystery. I hope you can solve it! Beautiful photos of all the sisters.
