From the earliest memories of family vacations, our family had the annual trek to Kansas to visit relatives. The things I remember about visiting ‘Aunt Ruthie’ are… hot summer nights, cicadas, playing cards, drinking lots of tea, making ice cream, and Aunt Ruthie smiling and asking, “So, what’s going on?”. Thanks for the memories Aunt Ruthie! Love, Steve H.
