I miss my Grandpa and Grandma so much! I miss those after school "snacks" that often turned into near meals. I miss their old house. I miss being able to stop in ANY time. Always welcome and wanted!
Right now, I am so hungry for my Grandma's cooking. Her baked chicken, potato salad, pies, Daisey-Evers, chicken noodle soup with her homemade noodles, cornflake pudding, jello salad, and oh so much more!!
I think I am going to start planning a trip to Virginia for Thanksgiving. I don't care how sick I am. I just want to be with my Grandpa and Grandma!!
I am so blessed to have grown up next door to them all my life until I moved away. The last almost 2 years have been so incredibly hard being so far away.
I love you Grandpa and Grandma!!!
Taken the morning after I returned from Guatemala.
This is kind of silly but I can smell my Grandma right now. LOL!
from kim- I know exactly what you mean Lynelle. I did not have Te opportunities like you did, there is a feeling about grandmas house. When I went there it seemed I could always leave the world and my troubles behind. It was a safe zone for me. Full of comfy beds, grandmas special dishes she cooked up in the kitchen, grandpas 'stroll patrol'. Haha. I could never get in late and him not know it! If I needed a glass of water in the night, I just might find hi
ReplyDeleteAlready in the kitchen digging out the icecream. I can't forget all the dusty corners grandma would get inspired to clean while I was there with my 'young knees and back' 8) so I would help her and in the meantime I would find treasures and she would let me keep one or two of them. Cupies malts were usually on the menu before I escaped. :) I haven't been to see them yet either but I want to really bad. We are planning on being there for his 80tg
Lynnelle, I hope you can go for Thanksgiving! I love you, Mom
