Grandma I love you!



This is a picture of my two girls(Jade and Kambrin) and grandma. We as kids were grandma's heart medicine she always said....it's no wonder she was always so full of life with all the grand&great grandchildren she had. She was more like a kid then she was a grandma. She took the expression of "Well I'm the grandma I can do what ever because they go home afterwards". Most times we never left, we never wanted to go home. I remember spending so much time with her. I was the first offical swat meet girl, and mountain girl..who as she said jumped in her arms and never left. I would go the the swat meet she would give me my own booth of things that I could sell, I always thought her prices were to high and she would still sell things...more often she bought everything there before she would leave. I would buy things too: markers, makeup, jump-ropes, food, and treats. I spent more of her money then she did some weekends. I sold something once when my grandma went to shop/trade around....boy was she mad but not at me the guy who bought it and she marched down there and got the toy gun that I had sold back and some other things....I guess it went without saying no one messed with our grandma...she was the true meaning of a LEO! I wanted to talk at the funeral because I had so much to share with all of us there, like I was the first doll she did of us grandkids and I wanted my doll to have big boobs because mine were so small, and she stuffed the dress we made so full so that she did....and I would have talked about the coffee she used to give me as a kid and my grandpa Jim would yell at her and she would just say "oh hush" and he would. I would tell everyone how at the mountain she took her wicker patio set out side and put it under a tree so we could have tea party's and red ants infested it so we didn't play there often, and the old dolls we used to play with that were as tall as us, and had the pull string on their backs that we would sit and play and play....and although they were her dolls and I'm sure worth a lot of money she didn't mind. She just loved to see us smile. I remember so much silly songs we performed, poker games we were taught, dress up that we played and clothes from the 30's......I could go on and on. And then there is the end which I wish sometimes I didn't remember.

Thank you Janda for putting this together. Apparently I had a lot to say.
