Great G's

Hudson & Reagan are lucky enough to have some great grandparents still living.  

And they LOVE them, a lot.

These pictures are of H and my maternal grandmother, and maternal grandfather.  
In the above picture H is snuggling up to Grandma Carol, in her bed... 
watching Iron Man {I am assuming}.  
This is when we visited last Jan.  H & R's first experience with snow.

The next picture is of H and Grandpa Jerry.  Here he is helping grandpa clip/trim the trees in July.
 When I was younger I loved visiting my great grandparents.  

I remember: 
  • one set of them always had those tiny butter mints, that look like chocolate chips.
  • I snuck into the hospital when one was passing away to say goodbye.
  • One made a 7 course breakfast... it was delish.
  • One always pulled taffy in her basement, and we would sneak down to get some.  She also had a basement FULL of books.
  • The first time I played the game twister was at one of their homes, in the entry of their home.  
  • One also saved all of the old barbies, and I would love to just look at hem, and the black "liner/eyelashes".  They were beautiful.  
  • She also had an organ that was a hoot to play.  
  • One passed away on my birthday one year.
  • I used to visit two, whom were in the same nursing home, at different times; while at college.
  • Spencer only met one, while she was at a nursing home.

They all made a small imprint on my life. 
 And I am happy that my grandparents can do the same in my children's lives.
