Aunt Lou’s organizational skills, creativeness, and her intentionality in keeping her home is something that I’ve always admired. I saw those qualities also in my grandmother Joan. They have such lovely homes and sense of hospitality <3
I always loved coming to Bob and Lou's house when I was a child. They made the Green's feel so welcome. I have missed so much of their hospitality as I have grown, but I see how her wonderful qualities remain in the family and I love them.
Love you aunt Lou and uncle Bob.
