This garden decoration, a gift of one of Judy's grandchildren, well epitomizes the more colorful side of our sister - she is truly crea...

She was so grand in 1955 - Her sewing prowess was already in evidence, and the pose on the front porch showed a lovely young woman. (How...

How fortunate I have been to have Judy for one of my sisters. She has been a great example and such a dear friend. She has endured the years...

Kemp took this picture when he visited Penrose this last winter. At first glance, I did not recognize the picture as THE house. The hills ...
