week of Gramma

The week is winding down, and I don't count the weekend, because well, it's the week-END!
but I wanted to leave you with a few more memories and then that's all folks!
This week is hard for me and every time I open up this blog emotions pour out of my eyes, some people may call this crying, but you know big girls don't cry, right?


This is my Gramma and she always knew just what I liked.

When I lived in the dorms at San Jose State she knew just what to send: beef jerky and Mentos, my favorite things.


Notice her pants match perfectly with her shirt!
Here she plays ping pong with my dad. You know, I bet she won!


This is Christmas, and typical Gramma when you throw a flash in her face she'll send you that "get that camera outta my face look!"



This chair, this house, and those arms are where we lived. Not technically, but most of our free time when we were younger was spent right here in this very living room. Auntie and Gramma always had us spend the night. We even had pajamas and Auntie got bunk beds; the three level kind, so we could always have room for all of us and Scooter, Awe the good ole days! I remember hair brushing, Candyland, Disneyland, PACE and all the samples, bowling, sitting quietly on the couch for hours next to gramma, shopping, thrift stores, the swap meet, beef jerky, eating potato chips in those tiny bags, Shasta soda and Kern's... oohhhhhh and the candy drawer!!!
It's Gramma's and even today, you should remember to ask first!!





miss you
have fun
