She's mesmerized by uncles rubbing her back!

Holding and petting her little grandog gave my sister much comfort.

Don't touch! It's an asp caterpillar which becomes a flannel moth. My understanding is that all those little hairs really sting.

Candy making demo - not sure how much touch is going on thru the gloves, but I figured we could use our imaginations. :)

Awwww, this photo reminds me of the feel of my cats lovely sleek soft fur. It also reminds me of her claws digging into my calves if I unwittingly walked past while she was in pounce practicing mode.

I had this wrapped round my neck and it felt lovely. The other hand is my young sons.

Feel the soft quilt, made with my old feedsack dresses.

A beautiful black cottonwood tree in Glacier NP. Such interesting bark.

Elvira touching snow for the first time. "What is this stuff?"

Maddiemo, your son looks just like you!

Oh Lars, you kill me. I’m wiping tears away.

Both are gone now, but they loved each other.
