Dole – Let’s Talk Pineapples
While we were at the Dole Plantation, we got to sit in and watch a pineapple selection/cutting demonstration. Now I like pineapple and fresh is always better, however, I learned a few things and I thought it might be fun to share. Selection 1. Smell – you don’t want them to have a real strong…
Holiday Inn Express, Open Range Grill, Scooter’s Coffee – Ogallala Nebraska
So let me tell you about the week I spent in Ogallala, Nebraska Monday afternoon. Yes, you read that correctly :). A week one afternoon. How does that happen? Well, let me tell you… First off, here’s the story that leads us to Ogallala. The weekend before Memorial Day, we headed off to Greenville, Texas,…
A Missouri Style Blizzard
So I guess this is what I get for saying I’m from the Show Me State…. This was around 10am this morning.
I'm sorry you lost someone you were so close too, but I love hearing your family stories!
You are so right! The Youngun is with her Granny Bob and Pop Pop right now. She loves to spend time with them, and I'd never stop her from going, even if I wish she'd stay home a little bit more. I still miss my grandparents!
She sounds like she was a wonderful person, and I'm sure she knew how much she was loved by you. What a lovely, sad story…and you're absolutely right; we do need to show our grandparents our love before it's too late. I'll spend the rest of my life regretting I wasn't a better grandchild to my grandparents.
Honestly – if I paid for my sisters education and she did that, I'd kill her! I do love her story – one day I'll share my grandmother's story, its a very hard but inspiring one!
Thanks for reminding us how important family is!
She sounds like a wonderful lady , And I be she was proud of you and the relationship you two had
I know what you mean about being grateful for all the time you knew your grandmother-I was the oldest grandkid, and was 17 when Pappy died. I have more memories than all the other kids, and it makes me sad in a way. Because they didn't get to have as much time… but I'm so grateful I did. I wish John could have met him too. It's hard losing grandparents.
What a wonderful post! She sounds like a special lady and she was fortunate that she had someone like you as a grandchild to appreciate her so much as well. 🙂
