Jo Ann, and Bill...
Married in 1959, moved into the above....
'Home' shortly after.
<3
Remember... as a child, visiting Jo Ann, with Dad.
We, over the years, when I was little, joined Jo Ann, Bill...
their Children... and The 'Millersburg' Conner 'Tribe', a time or two...
at Christmas, and... Thanksgiving.
<3
Their 'Home'.... was to me, like the
'Leave it to Beaver'...
'Home'.
<3
'Perfect'.
<3
{but... not for me...
I, always admired... but, knew... I couldn't 'live' that 'lifestyle'.
a little too structured, I guess.}
: )
<3
Jo Ann... was Blessed to get Dad's.... Shocking Blue, Irish Eyes...
<3 <3 <3
guess...
I was Blessed to Inherit Dad's Long Arms... and 'Crazy'!!! Hahahahaha!!! }
Jo Ann was pretty much, a 'Stay at Home'... Mom, until their Children were grown.
<3
Was telling Niece, Julie...
how much I loved listening to Jo Ann talk.
: )
Jo Ann... had The Conner... 'Gift of Gab'. <3
: )
When Jo Ann spoke, she had a 'lilt' in her voice.
: )
Friend, Marion Jacobs... did, as well.
<3
A subtle...
Laughter.
: )
Used to so love watching Jo Ann, as she told her stories.
: )
Sometimes... I, didn't hear a word, she spoke.
As I wrote... above, I... was too mesmerized by her eyes.
yes...
Jo Ann, was so Blessed to inherit...
our
Dad's Shocking Blue Irish Eyes, that Danced while telling Tales.

I could See...
our Dad...
in her eyes.

priceless.
<3
Jo Ann's Home... is Beautiful.
She, and Bill... Lived, Shared... a Wonderful Life, there.

Don't throw, donate... 'give'...
