Reconnecting

We had two visits today - the first, we drove to Elgin and went to see Carol Plagge, who was my brother Stewart's dear friend. We hadn't actually seen her since before the pandemic. So it was good to see her and share family news. Then this evening, Becky, Peter and Lori, and Daniel, came to Jerry and Maggie's home for pizza and a good visit. It is always fun to see them! There is always a lot to talk about and since we haven't seen each other for a while, even more so this time. These connections are so important! I'm so glad we are still able to do this.

Carol Plagge lives in a senior housing complex in Elgin - these are scenes from the courtyard outside her apartment, the entry lounge, and Ellen and Carol in a pergola where we sat while we visited. ************************************* I didn't get any usable photos tonight, but here are some historic ones that cover the waterfront.

This has Becky and Daniel at the top and Suzy and Peter at the bottom.
