One of my favorite family traditions is to sit around the morning table, drink coffee, and catch up on family stories when we have family come to visit. We were doing just that one sunny morning with Aunt Betty. My back was toward the window as I was visiting with her. With the calmest voice as if she had just seen a blue jay at the feeder, she says with a grin," Oh, there's a bear."
I am excited because it is a rare occasion to get a glimpse of a bear in our neck of the woods. I was expecting the bear to be a bit off at the edge of the yard. I turn around and there right outside our window lumbering by was a huge black bear! The race was on! Mom grabbing the camera to get a shot of our uninvited guest. Me running around like an idiot yelling, " It's a bear! It's a bear!" Aunt Betty calmly sitting there sipping coffee.
I will never forget her warm smile and calm sincere heart. She will be missed by all who knew her.
