We miss you


April Fools Day always brought Daffidils and more to my Grammie's house. Today would have been her 92nd Birthday. She passed away in July 1999. We miss you Great-Grammie Ione as she was called when my daughter was younger. (She was our 'original' Red Hatter)

Your Grammie had the same birthday as my brother Randy...he is 50 today.
nice for you to have these old pictures... I remember those plaid pleated skirts...

I am sure that few can say this, but she was my best friend. If only I were more like her in ways that I am not, she never said something unkind of someone nor to someone. I found 'Black Rose' to be much like her in mannerisms and such...ways I can't really articulate entirely.

I miss her all the time.

Happy 50th BD to Randy.

I wonder where you got these old pictures??? April fools day is/and will always be about grammy! Hey...you suppose Black Rose will hide in a ditch waiting for her second date like grammy????

Shelley said...

Black Rose - you are so much like her. Just say 'thanks'. She is/was a very special person and so are you.

cokedw welcome! Hmm pictures, yes I had them on my computer (smiles). I am thinking we need to catch up, not sure I heard that story...did hear one about 'chim chim enny' I would like to hear the end of too.

You've never heard the story of Grammy hiding in the ditch? What about the running into the tree?
