I love so many things about grandma, she was always loving and gentle and happy. I'll always remember the smell of grandma's house, and how excited I was to see her. I have so many wonderful memories of her, here are some of them:
- her carmel popcorn - delicious
- giving me 'sweet dreams' kisses on my eyelids at bedtime
- yummy suckers - rootbeer, cinnamon, and butterscotch were my favorites
- sitting on the porch watching the hummingbirds together
- getting me all cozy and warm, with hot jello and blankets, after going sledding
- sitting by the fish pond as we played around it
- her loving smile and huge hug whenever I saw her
- breakfast at her house - we got to choose our own mini cereal boxes AND put sugar on our already sweetend cereal
- playing with the toys under the sewing machine, the snake was my favorite
- "I love you thi-i-i-i-i-i-s big"
- listening to stories she recorded on tape for us when I was little
- gently reminding me to be careful as I climbed all over the rocks outside
- sitting in her chair making afghans
- giving me treats from her candy dish on the mantel
- her unconditional love
She was such a loving sweet grandma - the best! I already miss her. I'll keep trying to grow up to be just like her.
