“Memories to Last a Lifetime”

Making May baskets to take to neighboring farms.
The best home-made ice cream in the world!
Tailgate lunches when Daddy was farming on the bottom land.
Holiday feasts.
Camping on the lake in Minnesota and eating off the grill!
Exploring the back roads in the Black Hills.
Betty’s Horrible Hut in Nags Head, North Carolina.
Bridge, bridge, bridge (and a big win against Bill Gates & partner)
Having her “behind” in every home movie Daddy ever filmed.
Creating the only polar bear in Yellowstone National Park!
Traveling in the Mert-Mobile.
Dancing, dancing—especially New Year’s Eve at the fire house.
Christmas on the farm.
If someone said “go”, she was packed with one foot out the door.
Taking Jeremiah & Katie on pontoon boat rides for birthdays.
The farm!!
“Sweetie” or “Hello dear”
Dominoes
Fried chicken dinners
Shared shrimp dinners at the Driftwood
Never met a stranger!
Loved me no matter what!
