Closet of Memories
 My Great grandmother is a wealth of knowledge and memories. "I never thought I would live this long," she said yesterday as she began to tell stories of when she was growing up. Greatma, as we call her, was born in 1913. She recalls spending nights by the oven to stay warm, riding one horse sleighs to funerals and buggies in warm weather, and taking baths in a laundry tub behind the big stove. Since Christmas is tomorrow she began to tell Christmas stories from long ago. Her favorite memory was of her and her uncle going into the woods and cutting down the family Christmas tree to put up in the parlor. For ornaments, they made cones out of paper and filled them with candy and put lit candles on the tree for Christmas Eve. I always love being able to visit Greatma and I am counting my blessing as I do not know if I will be able to again. She has seen so much and her only complaint is that she cannot see well enough to read the Bible. She is an inspiration to me and has touched so many lives in the past 95 years.
Enjoy your time with family and make memories that will last a lifetime!Labels: Family, Memories, Vacation
