I decided to add some photos from the past today to honor my Grandma Lilly who passed away on Christmas Eve at the age of 95.
When I think of my childhood memories many of them are from times spent at Grandma Lilly's little white house in St. Thomas, N.D. Time there was spent playing cards, eating - homemade pickles, jams, rolls...., walks down the railroad tracks, and running around the outside of the house with cousins.
My grandmother was quick to smile, give a hug, and an extra cookie or two. There was lots of encouragement and love and many "that's right, my girl", "good job, my girl". I feel so blessed to have had my grandma in my life for over 40 years. Someday I hope to be a grandma as beautiful and loving as my dear grandma Lilly.
