thinking of you and kate. just don't let any of the great memories die. that's why grandparents are so great. they give us lot and lots of great memories. just wait until you have kids... you'll realize all over again just how important she was.
and the water works started all over again... my grandma was an AMAZING woman... and these are just some of the great things I loved about her...
- she ate frosting sandwiches
- she had the softest hands
- she could craft like no one i knew
- she had the best stories
- she inspired me
- she was a proper Yankee (no not the baseball team)
- she took great care of me when I needed her
- I loved to hear her say my name... i'll miss that the most
- she had the coolest toys to play with when i was a kid
- she still mowed her own lawn at 75
- she loved me even though I gave her a cat for her 70th birthday
- taking a walk with her was like going on an adventure
- her house was my favorite place to go when i was little
- her closest were full of magic
- she was just plain COOL!
I love you Grandma... you will be missed!!!

Frosting sandwiches? Tell me about them.
We just went through a loss in our family. Billy's Granny was an awesome woman and we learned so much from her. She will be missed....

Frosting sandwiches? Did you ever try one?
I'd been avoiding your blog because I had a sad week here and knew I would burst into tears reading about your grandma.... Even though things are better here, I still cried for your fabulous grandma. Anyone who has the b***s to put frosting on bread and call it a sandwich is tops in my book. :)
