Visit to Aunt Irene

"March 5, 1992:  Received the family story compiled by Jean and Marjorie.
March 7, 1992:  To Norfolk with Greta to visit Irene and do a little shopping.
March 6, 1992:  World Day of Prayer at Methodist Church."

This is good.  I was not sure when the family history book was compiled and now I do.  I imagine it is recorded in the book somewhere, but this works, too.  That was quite a feat for those two ladies and from all accounts they went about it with much vim and vigor and didn't kill each other in the process.  They created a very fine end product in my opinion.

The photo is of Aunt Irene (obviously) and the first Jack, I think.  The one-eyed one Dale brought down from Dad's.  The one that would have been perfectly happy to hang around the place and keep mice and rabbits away just for the table scraps or whatever food might be around.  The one who ended up being let in the house instead and using Grandma's plants for a litter box in appreciation.  He came around and behaved in the house eventually as I recall.  He was most definitely spoiled compared to the bare necessities needed to keep him around.  Oh, and he got swatted by Kena when he did nothing wrong but she was irritated at people teasing her.

I think that's the right cat in the photo anyway.  If not, the stories are still true as it applies to Jack.
