NORTHWEST WITH GRANDMA COLLINS
It was the summer of 1993. My mom was on her own after my dad had died in 1992. Now she was ready to travel with family. Barbara and I along with Maggie, Ellen, and Joe decided to join her on this adventure of a lifetime. We all kept a journal to include in a scrapbook, our gift to her for hosting this wonderful trip. The pages that follow are taken from the scrapbook.
