Both of my wonderful Grandmothers celebrate their birthdays in March. Because I am a slacker... I didn't post before my Grandma Mary's big day, but hopefully can get it up before Grandma Eva's! This year Grandma Mary celebrated her 80th birthday! (post to follow...) And Grandma Eva will be 91!
I am the luckiest gal in the world! I have the two best Grandma's ever!!!
Favorite Memories of Grandma Mary:Breakfast- they always have bacon, eggs, toast with grandma's jam, and all my favorite sugar cereals, plus there were usually pop tarts! Yummy!
Jumping on the trampoline
Playing with the toys... especially the chalkboard
Grandma's food! Especially her chocolate cake with white icing.
Brushing Grandma's hair... and earning a dollar!
Grandma's hugs, and kisses
The trailer
Learning how to knit
Cherry Chocolate Ice Cream and Casco bars
Rides in the Caddy
A pillowcase with ballerinas that I would use when I'd sleep over
Washing dishes by hand
Grandma's ablility to remove any stain from anything!
Picking out songs on the piano for her. Often, grandma would have a hymn or other song that she loved and would request me to play it. Sadly, I'm not very talented but would sit and try so hard to pick out the song for her.
Listening to grandma rock a baby to sleep... "rock a bye, don't you cry, we will go to grandma's..."
Sitting on the porch admiring her flower beds
Watching her change a baby's diaper on her lap
bottled raspberries--ohh yummy!!!
Finding old high heels and a purse in the 'north end' and grandma giving them to me
Letters, cards, phone calls. Grandma always remembered my special occasions, and has always been there for them, too! I love you, Grandma!!!
Favorite Memories of Grandma Eva:
Cousins week
Conference Trip after baptism
walking the greenbelt
corned beef and cabbage
barnyard rummy
dishes--and playing waitress
answering the phone, "Manwarings"
french braids that stay in for weeks! Ouch!
head massages
devotionals
Morgan's Bridge
wearing all her necklaces... I especially loved the ones from Samoa
wrestling matches-- she is one tough lady, still!
whole wheat blender waffles with syrup in the little teapot
eating lunch and hearing the noon siren in Blackfoot!
swimming
walking to the library.... and almost everywhere else!
Idaho State Fair
quilting
always feeling safe, loved, and accepted. I love you Grandma!!!
