To: Pat Hearron
Hello to Aunt Pat and Uncle Tom, As Thanksgiving approaches, I can't help but remember back tot he beautiful Old White Farm House in Saginaw Michigan where as a child I curled up in front of the old fashioned Heaters and the warmth of your blaxing Fireplace petting Omelette the furry White dog, and listening to Prairie Home Companion. I learned so many things from you like how to make fruit crepes and what it was like to live in Rwanda from the slide shows we looked forward to every year of your trips. Just thinking about it right now, I feel all cozy as I feel the chill n the fall air start to creep up on us in Ohio. I know our family has grown into huge proportions and jobs have relocated you to the South where that ambience is a little different, and we will never see those days again. However, I also know that we will always have a piece of them as you are driving to Ohio to see us right now for Thanksgiving and both of us are listening to Prairie Home Companion, one tradition you taught us that will go on and on and on.... See you at the Turkey Table!!!!! Love, Steve and Angel Lawrie
