Grandma & Granny Best Friends Forever

My Grandma

This is just one of the many quilts that me & my MOM saw at the Quilt show in Blairsville Ga.

I just loved it. It was the best day ever. I can't help but think of my Grandma (my Mom's Mother) when I see this quilt.
She did a quilt of different birds. It is beautiful. Mom has it now and treasures it.

Grandma passed away many years ago. I was real close to her too.
Me & Grandma shared the love of gardening.
I was named after Grandma.
When I was born my daddy was in the Navy and we moved to California.
Mom says that Grandma came and helped with me when I was still a baby.
Grandma always told me that I used to sleep with her when I was newborn.

Did I ever tell you that my Grandma (Mom's Mother) & my Granny (dad's Mother)
were best friends. You all hear about Granny a lot. I am so blessed to still have Granny with me.
I love spending time with her.

Grandma & Granny went to church together as long as I remember.
They always sat together. They worshipped together.
They were truly sisters in the Lord.

My Grandma:
I remember Wrigleys chewing gum.
I remember apple butter.
I remember beautiful plants.
I remember tomato & pepper plants.
I remember beets in her garden.
I remember her cherry tree.
I remember her homemade biscuits.
I remember her making delicious cakes at Christmas to make extra money.
I remember the laughing clown doll (which I have) that someone gave her.
I remember she didn't like our mini skirts.
I remember her cookie jar (which I have) with Nilla Vanilla Wafers always in it.
I remember her hair pins that she put her long hair up with.
I remember fresh sheets and pillow cases.
I remember her telling Randy to get a shotgun
after the boys that come wanting to date our daughters.
I remember her telling me to "wait."
I remember cleanliness.
I remember picking her up every week to go to the grocery store.
I remember church.

I remember banana pudding.
I remember S & H Green stamps.
I remember her ironing.
I remember Guideposts.
I remember her smell.
I remember simplicity.
I remember her heart.
I remember Grandma.
I miss her.

There is a difference between Grandma & Granny. Grandma is Mom's mother and has already gone home to be with the Lord. Granny is my dad's mother & still here and quilting away at 96 years old. But then in a way there are so many simularities between them. They both love the Lord. Their lives are great examples to me. I love them both so.

I love to think of Grandma. Sometimes Granny will talk about her with tears in her eyes. I have had my Grandma on my mind a lot this week so I guess that is why I shared a little about her. She was a special lady (just like my Mom) and I love her so and want to see her again one day when I go to heaven.


Granny & Grandma

I hope that I can leave good memories for my Grandchildren like both of my Grandmothers have for me.
I am blessed to know & to have known these Godly women.

I thought you all would enjoy seeing one of the many quilts that we saw at the Blairsville Quilt show while waiting on the winner of the give away to be announced. I am working on it. I promise. It is a big job. I am going to go to Granny's tomorrow and take the cards and gifts that I received in the mail last Friday for her. Then one day this week you will find out who the winner is. I am slow! I want to make sure that I do it right. You will know the winner of Granny's Quilt before Friday!!!!
