"Our priest called us the Pepto-Bismol girls," said Elaine Smith, 76, left, while cleaning up clipped wild raspberry canes outside the Hartland, Vt., home she shares with her sister Ginny Fox, 71, right, Thursday, May 16, 2019. Fox moved in with Smith three years ago while on long waiting lists for senior housing in Connecticut, and the pair enjoyed the arrangement so much that she stayed. Their choice of sweatshirt colors was unintentional, said Smith. (Valley News - James M. Patterson) Copyright Valley News. May not be reprinted or used online without permission.
