My parents provided those same memories for my children. Now I have two young grandchildren and we look forward to our “spend the nights” where we together cook a specially planned breakfast. Our whole family is devoted to “family dinners” where we cook meals and preserve fresh fruits & vegetables together! Great fun!

What a terrific legacy she left you – caring for the vulnerable and needy.

About 4 years old, we started the tradition of a Grammie “B” Day. She and I would go to a toy store, get her hair cut, and go out to lunch. Those times continued with each little girl- I had a Grammie “G” Day and now our youngest can’t wait for her Grammie “T” Day!! It is such a blessing to have each of them alone and learn from them and them from Grammie!! We have moved closer now and so it is easy to schedule those days and they ask all the time – “when is it my turn?” ❤️❤️❤️

They were refreshing, inexpensive, and contained controlled sugar content.

We lived on the second floor south apartment. This was way back in the 40’s and 50’s when there were ‘hobo’s’ (not homeless), guys who were unemployed and hungry looking for something to eat. It was not unusual to find a guy eating a sandwich on our back steps from my mom. Our place was marked: “There is a nice lady on (address) who will give you something to eat. She never turned anyone away. Good example for me.
