Grandma Great




Grandma Great you always had a smile on your face for the kids, loved to watch over them and play with them.  Each time you saw Lilah you would tell me how big "he" was getting.  You always had a compliment for my shirt and a $10 bill for our birthdays (the right size and the right color you would say).  You taught us about getting a good education and being super thrifty and yes I mean THRIFTY!  You made beautiful things with your hands including a set of baby booties for Neeley.  You weren't really making them any more and were tickled that I asked you to make just one more pair! You made wonderful memories for Jeremy with things like your surprise ice cream, trips to the nature center, sleepovers and mowing your lawn.  Your seat on the couch misses you but not as much as the rest of us do.  The other day when we went to visit Grandma and Grandpa and they weren't home, Kayla looked at me and said, "But Grandma Great, where is she?"  You have been a constant for us and that house sure seems empty without you there.

That's a great post and tribute to Grandma. I also like your new blog format.
