It was a great time. Unfortunately, after she passed, no one else wanted to get together.<br /><br />Hi, Charmaine! No pals needed in your large family. My mom's was the same way. Every Monday, the girls gathered at Grandmother's and caught up over knitting, quilting, and other crafts. It was truly special.Vicki Batman, sassy writerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13846704675542248648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8535414384309157179.post-80550056005179089492018-10-09T08:34:48.641-05:002018-10-09T08:34:48.641-05:00My grandmother, very grand, didn't speak Engli...My grandmother, very grand, didn't speak English, had 12 children, my mother was the middle child and the hub of the family, they never needed pals because they had each other. Glorious<br />times and I was the first and only daughter. Lots of boy cousins and me the middle child of two brothers. Seldom, through the years, I never met a family like ours. Way back then, no one smiled when photos were taken. No one said CHEESE when taking pix. Somber in a family with beautiful daughters. I learned early on, to smile big time.<br /><br />Thanks for a delightful blog!

We would walk through the neighborhood, admire the decorations, and stop for hot chocolate. Thank you for sharing this post.

I once asked Grandmother what she thought about cars: "Wanted to drive one." Planes: "Want to go in one." Voting: "Wanted to vote." All stuff we take for granted.Vicki Batman, sassy writerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13846704675542248648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8535414384309157179.post-71750819539914973742018-10-08T10:47:41.753-05:002018-10-08T10:47:41.753-05:00What a fun post.

Last year, my dad sent me some photo albums. I took pictures of them all and put them up on dropbox so that my family could have access to them. It's fun to see and imagine what life was like for my ancestors.Melissa Keirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10247037321769755660noreply@blogger.com
