My Great Aunt Laura stands outside her home in Connecticut.

Laura looks out the window of her living room. She and her husband Bob purchased the home in the 1950's.

Washed and dried styrofoam containers from Meals on Wheels clutter the table in the center of Laura's kitchen.

Laura smiles before pouring herself a glass of cranberry juice.

Part of the second quarter of the home.

Part of the second quarter of the home. “A raccoon must have gotten in here”.

Laura shows off her collection of clothing.

A part of the kitchen, a display of collectables and articles that show off just a tiny part of my Great Aunt Laura's personality.

Laura relaxes with her cat in her casual dining room. This dining room overlooks part of the estate.

The formal dining room. The table is adorned with candelabra and bowls of fruit.

“I miss my mother so much”. Laura pauses for a moment in her mothe's bedroom, reflecting on the past.

Laura stands near a framed photo of her beloved husband, Bob, in Bob's study.
