Memories of Grandma
Blast from the past. Pick a story from your past.
When I was a little girl, I had a few grandmother’s that I could visit and have fun with. My mom’s mother would let me come to St. Louis and stay with her in the summer, which was great! She always made me clothes and would fix my hair pretty.
My great grandmother was very special to me too. When we came back to the states after living in Hawaii for 5 years, we lived behind my great grandmother. I remember that she would always have a snack ready for my brother and I when we came home from school. My grandma was a great cook! She would also let me play in her purse that was full of pennies.
When I was 42 years old, my last grandmother passed away and at that moment was one of the saddest times of my life. I knew, I was no one’s grand daughter anymore. I miss that still today.
I wrote a short story about my great grandmother and I would like to share that story with you and the layout I made to go with it.
My Great Grandmother
Her name was Ruby. A name which means a red hot temper when she lost at cards and a precious gem when it came time for her special hugs. She always stood by me when I had done wrong, but had a firm voice to keep me in line. My great grandmother, who always wore a cotton house dress and walked around the kitchen barefoot. She collected pennies, let me play in her purse and always had a biscuit and a piece of bacon on the stove waiting for me after I came home from school. My GREAT grandmother, someone I am slowly growing up to be.
