Favorite Memories...

So I hope this gets to the people who needed/wanted it. I have been thinking a lot about my memories of Grandma, and it's weird for me to have to pick a favorite one. They all seem connected. My favorite string of memories, though, has to be the one related to children's literature. I love the memories of going ot the library with Grandma. I thought it was the coolest library in the whole world. (compared to Afton's, it may have been...) I remember being so proud that my Grandma was the story lady. It seemed like all the children loved her, but I knew I loved her more. I remember specifically sitting in the downstairs family room and reading stories with her... The Zimparumpa-Zoo was my favorite. The strangest thing to me was when I started reading Winnie-the-Pooh to Grace last week. The voice in my head was not my own, but Grandma's, telling us to 'think, think, think' or "oh, bother." She is that story, to me.
I am hopelessly addicted to children's books. I own over 400. I attribute it to my Grandma's contagious love of books.
Love you all!

SERVICE hoped for!!

Hey Family,

We are arranging a family work day for Grandma (mostly) and Grandpa on Saturday, February 28th. We hope to have enough hands around to make light work. We need to move furniture, organize and do some cooking (freezer meals) for them and also do a bit of shopping. This is a GREAT opportunity to serve your family. We will try to work in the morning to make it a short day for any and all who can come!!! SPREAD the word and come enjoy a bit of time with them! (if you can come on the day before or after we can also use help either of those days too!

Let me or one of the sisters know!!!
Love, Liz
