Mommom, a long-time friend

Today my family went to visit a friend whom I call "Mommom." She has been a surrogate grandmother to my brother and I and we have known her family for over 20 years. Since we are leaving Delaware day after tomorrow, we had to say "good-bye" to her, again. This will be the second time we move from this area.

I am thankful, though, that we returned to Delaware nine years ago because that allowed us to enjoy the last several years with her and her husband before she became a widow. Now, to keep her company she adopted a toy poodle whom she casually calls "Prissy."

Below are some photos I took during our visit.

Ms. Alty, Aunt Sue, Jonathan, and Mommom listen to Mom talking.

Mommom sits in one of her living room chairs and listens during a conversation.

Prissy makes herself comfortable on Mommom's lap, one of her favorite places to lay.

Prissy lies across the floor chewing her toy and curiously watches the camera.
