She loved pouring herself into nurturing the many varieties of flowers that adorned her property,...and her neighbors were truly the lucky benefactors of her labor of love. Georgette was also fond of crafting and was quite involved in creating many unique and beautiful pieces from the work of her own hands. She found great joy and pleasure. as well, in getting around to many of the craft shows and touting her wares. Antiquing was another pastime that garnered a great deal of her attention, and she definitely knew her way around the antiquing circuit. But of all the things she enjoyed the most, little else could match the pleasure of a good book.
