Say Cheese

I am kind of late posting these pictures from Uncle Wayne's birthday party in Feb. Luckily, I had my camera and was able to get these pictures of Grandma and her kiddies. But, I could not get one with everyone's eyes open.

The top picture is when Grandma was laughing hard as she and Marie made Wayne a "special" treat for his birthday and he discovered that they were homemade chocolate covered prunes!! Sounds great huh!! Pretty sneaky lady!!

Hey does anyone have any pics of Dan's wedding they can post?

I've got tons of Gramma favorite memories.  Husker Du in the game closet, mints in the kitchen drawer, clothes drying on the line outside - 

I thought they were rich because when I was little they let me push the button that opened the garage automatically.   Wow.

I love the "YELLO!" when she picks up the phone.  

Grandma makes the only rolls that matter, in the world.  And there's always a half a grapefruit sitting on the counter.  

When Wayne was a teenager he came up from downstairs with a Mad magazine and my mom freaked out.   I was so curious about Mad Magazine after that.  

I still remember Eileen and Ross's wedding.  

I remember Grandpa snoring and his jumpsuits.  He'd always take me to the movies.  Once he took me out back behind the house and told me to always remember how special I was and how much he loved me.  

Grandma

When I see the picture of Grandma on this blog.. it make me smile cuz she is the cutest little Grandma around..

It reminds me of the all the things that make up Grandma.. from the way that she answers the phone with the "hello" that only she can do; her popcorn balls that she makes at Christmas, her homemade mustand pickles, rolls, cinnamon rolls, raspberry jam, and stew. The birthday cards that she sends out for your birthday and the great grandkids birthdays. The way that we all would stand next to her to see if she would notice that we were offically "taller" than her. Her good nature when getting completely drenched at the family reunions by her own "baby" son (Uncle Wayne). What other 85 year old grandma would participate in water fight??

And last but not least, her pillow in her car that she sits on so that she can see over the steering wheel. She is always on the go; doing things and seeing things. And she looked really cute last night as she was all dressed up for the wedding reception for Dan and Heather.

Feel free to add more "memories" to the list...
