End Of An Era

Earlier this past week, we officially put Aunt Jeanie & Uncle Gene's house on the market. You can view the listing here.

They were my great aunt and uncle, but were sort of my grandparents. The best way to describe them is to compare them to Edith & Archie Bunker on "All in the Family"... only Uncle Gene could be many times grouchier; and voted Democrat.

They moved into the house on the south end that we are now selling in the mid-1950's. It has a mini-apartment to the side and 2nd floor of the house. We actually lived there when I was a baby. There's been a lot of Sunday dinners and Thanksgivings over those 50 years. Aunt Jeanie made many pies and Uncle Gene did plenty of cussin' over those same years as well.

Aunt Jeanie passed away last November after staying for about a year and a half at Lutheran Home. Before that she was at an assisted living facility. Uncle Gene stayed at the house but moved into a nursing home shortly before Aunt Jeanie died as he was having knee replacement surgury. Uncle Gene passed away last April; just months after Aunt Jeanie passed. They were both 91 years old.
