Although I spent a lot of time with Grandma after school each day, I really do not have any stories as such. I do remember the flower garden - that is where I learned to love Baby's Breath and Snapdragons; they were my favorites then and still are today.
She taught me how to quilt doing that fancy embroidery stitch of hers. We were always quilting one of the quilts for the grandkids that were getting married as we talked. I do not remember what we talked about even. I just remember that I loved being with her.

I helped LaVina, Dwyn and Elsie make pretty forests in glass jars of moss and ferns I pressed while at Jay's in Gresham, Oregon, one for LaVeta, Sharon, and Erin.
