It has now been just over a month since we lost my grandmother. Here is the slideshow that I made for my mother to post at all of the forums my grandmother especially loved and took part in. She is greatly missed. As I made this, I thought of especially treasured memories from when I was a child.
- Begging to dust her shelves because that was the only time I was permitted to actually handle all of the pretties.
- Making hard candy with her and her getting so mad when I let it burn. It made excellent windows for our gingerbread house.
- Getting to sort through her very numerous jewelry boxes and asking about the history of different pieces.
- Her chasing me with a broom out of the raspberry canes. She wanted to be sure we actually had enough to make raspberry jam (my favorite as well).
- Sorting through old family pictures and asking about the history
- When she was still working, helping her remove her shoes and stockings (I was very small).
- When I still actually liked coffee (can't stand the stuff now and haven't for years), dipping a tiny little doll cup (it held only one mouthfull) into her mug to drink myself. I was only maybe three.
- Going mushroom picking with her and papa.
And many others that I can't type right now. |
