He told me how to catch a rabbit.....put salt on his tail.

I never liked to visit at their house. And then I ended up spending 30 years living there.

I remember watching the clock tick away every time we visited.

Did Aunt Winnie live longer than Alva? Did she move into town?

Aunt Winne passed away Oct 9, 1982. She and Uncle Ave had brought a house in town and moved there before he passed away. She was living in the nursing home at the end of her life. She always wore rouge & powder, and her house was always spotless. They were both very good people.
