My Grandma passed away last week.
She had been sick and we are glad she is now free from here pain.
I love the fond memories I have with her. I remember sleeping over at her house a few times, each time she would let my cousin Heather and me wear one of her night gowns to bed, she would spray perfume on us and brush our hair.
One time she and I were visiting and she pulled out a bag a Jelly Beans she told me to dump them out on the bed so we could pick out the ones we really wanted. I poured a couple onto the bed. She took the package from me tore it all the way open and flung it across the bed. Jelly Beans went everywhere and we laughed while we ate the good ones.
...grandpa must have been too hungry to pray
I remember she and grandpa took Heather and I to Grouse Creek for a whole week. They bought us treats, took us the the general store, and let us pull out every game they had. Grandpa let me run the barrels in the 4th of July rodeo and I remember grandma cheering really loud from the stands.
I remember her taking me to McDonald's on a Sunday morning, I was so excited because my mom never took me to McDonald's so I didn't want to tell her that I was scared but I really was. I remember sitting in the back seat so nervous that my dad would find out (he was the bishop at the time) that my grandma and I had gone to a store on Sunday.
My older sisters made it a fun tradition to take all the grand kids to see grandma on Halloween each year. It was always hectic but a good time.
Grandma had a onsie made for Josie that had the number 61 on it. Josie was her 61st great grand baby. Who knows what number Trig is maybe #67?
