Our next door neighbor Annette is a lovely lady. At 88 she is energetic, vivacious and sharp.

In addition to all her accomplishments as a nurse, pilot and flight instructor, not to mention mother of five, only seven years ago at the age of 81, she wrote a children’s book called  The Fountain That Uncle John Built about a fountain in her backyard that was built by her son John.

Even though we’ve owned property next door to her for many years, it wasn’t until the end of last year that we’ve gotten to know her and discovered what a beautiful person she is.

We visited her in her home, which we found to be very earthy and warm. She built it in the 1980’s on seven acres she purchased from Victor’s father.
