70 years ago, today, 4/17, my Beautiful Grandma was born. She is an amazing woman who has taught me everything I know. She has taught me to love without limits, to give back to those in need, to listen when someone needs an ear, and to lend a shoulder whenever anyone needs it. She has been my supporter, my rock, and absolutely the best grandma anyone could ever ask for. Unfortunately, I cannot be there to celebrate her birthday with her. I moved to Virginia and she is back in California, so I have put together my own celebration in honor of her and her birthday. Please help me celebrate my wonderful grandma!!

ReplyDeleteMy grandmother passed away at 92 yrs young. she was my safehaven in a very abusive childhood. Her picture hangs above my kitchen sink and I talk to her everyday. She worked for montgomery wards and had a closet in her apartment where she stored the toys she would get on sale. Whenever we could visit we got to pick something form her stash. She cooked homemade Italian food and baked cookies from scratch. She was my God send and I truly believe that the good in me was inherited from her.The only good memories from my traumatic childhood revolve around my grandma. She was my rock!
ReplyDeletethanks for the opportunity to win that awesome jewelry. The earrings especially remind me of the types of things she had in her jewelry box.

My favorite memory of my grandma is being with her on her 92nd birthday (last week) It was nice seeing how happy she was to have all of her grandkids and great grandkids there. It makes me happy to know that my children are able to spend time and know her like I've gotten to my whole life. I don't know why it always wants to post as unknown but my name is Andrea Reaves
ReplyDeleteMy favorite memory with my Grandma was all the mornings we sat together drinking coffee. I miss her so much.
ReplyDeleteUnknown is Danita Vojta
DeleteUnfortunately I haven't ever met any of my Grandmothers but it's nice to see your love for yours- I'm sure she knows how much she's loved! Thank you for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite memory of my grandmother was going to her house after church on Sunday for dinner. She would fry up chicken, mashed potatoes with gravy, creamed style corn, fried okra, homemade biscuits, and her wonderful sweet tea. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention the banana pudding for desert. I couldn't wait for each Sunday!
ReplyDeleteMy grandparents have passed away, but i spent a lot of time on the farm with my mom's mom...She had lived on a farm most of her life so i would go and help her in the garden, feed the baby lambs and we always fed her pet raccoon Harriett ritz crackers...
ReplyDeleteMy favorite memory with my grandma burgdorf was being at her house everyday before and after school (she was our babysitter, while mom worked and went to school), her meals (now I know how to make some of her meals) and watching her soaps with her :) She isn't doing well anymore, she will be 92 on Apr 27!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite memory with my grandma powell was we shared the same birthday! March 29th! She is now with Jesus.
I remember watching my grandma crochet. I don't really remember it, but she also taught me to play solitaire.

Every memory I had with my Grandma was my favorite. But more specifically, when we used to go walking to 7-11. I would always get a Slurpee mashup, and some kind of little toy or whatnot. But just going there in general was fun. I love my Grandma, and unfortunately Cancer took her away in '97. Miss you Grandma. <3
ReplyDeleteGoing to her house and spending time with her, we really never got to do it as much as we would have liked, and now we live in southern Georgia and she lives in upstate New York, so we see her even less now. We haven't seen her in 7 years..My son has never met her, and my nephew was too little to remember.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite memory was when i was about 20, my grandma got pulled over for speeding and cop said he clocked her going 69 mph in a 45mph zone. she told him she was not going that fast then she said well it's &*%$ or get off the pot. Jodi Hoppe Wresh
ReplyDeleteLOL Jodi, I was in middle school and my grandma was taking me to school. Was clocked at 45 in a 25 school zone. She gracefully took the ticket, BUT she got pulled over in front of mhy cousins high school and he was making fun of her til he realized it was his grandma lol...
DeleteAnother time she got excited while driving and she pulled up on the wheel, and it LANDED IN HER LAP!!! I thought we were going to die! Either in an accident or laughing..lol
When she helped me bake cookies for school for a project.
ReplyDeleteMy Father was the first Father In my County Genesee county Michigan,to win full custody of his children.. and my grandparents helped my father raise us girls.. One of my fondest memories of My Grandmother was I used to sit home with her in my younger years while sisters were at school.. I remember watching soap operas with her and of course she always took a nap. She was also a Loud snorer and Very,Very ticklish..I remember I would always take the metal end of the old Fly Swatters and slip it in the side of her slipper as she slept and would mess with her which would always end up with me running out in the kitchen and around the corner cause I knew her SLIPPER would be flying soon. and I would no sooner get around the corner ,start laughing, and BOOM!!!! There was the Slipper...LOL By Golly that woman could throw them around corners... Oh the Memories... TY for the FlashBacks...Love you Grandma..R.I.P. See you soon!!!
ReplyDeleteRebecca Xavier: My favorite memory of my dad's mom is that she always smelled like peppermint candies.
ReplyDeleteGrandma always had chocolate chip cookies ready when we got there and she always cooked green beans from her garden - I loved them! She let me play with some of her old jewelry from the drawer in her vanity. My brother & I got to climb the cherry tree to pick cherries, then she would bake a pie and Grandpa would make vanilla ice cream to go with it.
ReplyDeleteI loved helping my Nana cook and make fudge around the holidays...I sure do miss her!
ReplyDeleteIt would be when my Grandma would tell me stories of my mother. I was 2 yrs old when my mother passed away so I never got to know her. Whenever I would go visit my Grandma would pull out the photo books & other things & just tell me all about my mother.
ReplyDeleteI mever got to meet my ma's mom n my dad never allowed us around his so we had an adopted Gmail she was the best always made it to my sis n I big days even tho she lived in wi n us in georgia
ReplyDeleteMy grandmother taught me kindness, compassion and generosity that we should feel for others..miss her so much!♥
ReplyDeleteMy Nana when she was around used to bake homemade cookies and brownies. I loved her baking.
ReplyDeletei never knew my grandmothers they perished in the Holocaust
ReplyDeleteMy favorite memory with my paternal grandmother, who I called Gram is when I was little she would always bathe me in her pink bathroom. It seemed my little brother usually got most of the attention and she made sure I felt special. I got the first bath in the pink bathroom and then she would put Avon SSS lotion and powder on me.
ReplyDeleteMine died when I was very young so I don't have many memories that stand out.
ReplyDeletechristmas at her house in illinois!
