From what I remember about Sissy is that she was caring and smiled alot. �She was quite religious and I read to her in the
afternoons from the Bible as she like that. �Somewhere along the line someone told me that she loaned Dad money when
she probably shouldn't have because she had a soft heart. �Her dining room had a lot of indoor plants. �There were a lot of beautiful, colorful
coleus's and other plants. �She also had a beautiful garden in the backyard. �I don't exactly know why, but Lloyd slept in the
basement and pretty much kept to himself. �There was a little room between the kitchen and the door to the backyard that
Lana and I used to sleep in when the Jackson's and my family were all in Worland. �I don't remember what that room is called.
Once a month she would have her bridge club over in the afternoons to play cards.
I will definitely buy a pareo in French Polynesia, as I know I will get some wear out of it around our pool. �We are going March 11 - 17th. �I have
to line up someone to take care of the animals. �I always worry about them when we're away.��

Hi, Peggy
Sorry it has taken me sooo long to get back to you.� We had a great time in Colorado. Sorry we missed seeing you.� We got back on the 19th and I was sick for the most part the following week with some kind of stomach thing.� Much better now.
�
Regarding Mom and Sissy - yes, my grandmother, Maggie,raised Sissy and Beulah.� I think Mom said she was 12 when her mom died and went to live with Sissy and Uncle Lloyd.� They lived down the road from my Dad's folks and that's how Mom and Dad knew each other.� Daddy drove the school bus.
�
Thank you the information on the Gossetts and Miles.� I will forward it to Rod and Beki.� I'll send you Rod's eamail.� I know he'd be very interested in all you've found.� Beki's is rmedmondson@sbcglobal.net.� I think you mentioned you'd lost it.

the big white house was a Gossett house. They all lived there. There was another white house on the road where Ella was born.. Think that one burned down.
