Getting together in Texas

Alan and Norene with Dolores

Dolores and Hugh visited last week with Norene and Alan, Dolores' sister and brother-in-law, at their home in Comanche, Texas.

"On Tuesday night, Norene and Alan's daughters Lisa and Susan came to dinner with us," Hugh writes. "Susan's husband Michael was working out of town, but Lisa brought her husband Michael and their two sons, Kenan and Noah. Both boys have grown a lot since we saw them last year. Both have just finished the basketball season on their school teams."

Lisa teaches 4th grade at the consolidated school where the boys are in middle and high school.

Before their Texas visit, Hugh and Dolores were in Colorado Springs for the annual assembly of the National Academy of Needlearts. "Before we left, their Board announced that next year at the Exemplary needlework exhibit, they will award a special ribbon named after Dolores," Hugh reports. It will be awarded for "Best Use of the Principles of Color and Design."
