Grandma's House

About this time of year I really start missing my grandma. She was the most awesome grandma ever. When we were kids she would play kick ball or wiffle ball with us. She was always the pitcher. Grandma was tons of fun. I used to spend a week almost every summer with her. That was so awesome. I got to hang out with grandma and do whatever I wanted. She totally spoiled me.

Grandpa was there too, but he didn't play with us. I helped take care of him while I was there. He was diabetic. Grandpa had to do insulin shots. I used to say,"It's time to shoot yourself Grandpa". He would laugh and do his shot. I love finding stuff that used to be Grandmas. Her house just had that unique smell. I can't describe it. It's just one of those things that brings back lots of great memories. I miss that house.

I caught grandma toasting marshmallows over the burner on the gas stove once. That was awesome. Grandma was a tough old bird. She totaled the car once. Played chicken with a combine. The combine won. Grandpa hit her with the car once. Just skinned the knees and hands.

Grandma is in heaven now. I really miss her. She was a great person. Didn't know a stranger, and was super proud of her kids and grand kids. I think about her a lot, especially around Christmas. Grandmas birthday was Christmas Day. It was always,"Merry Christmas, Happy Birthday". Well, I hope she is enjoying heaven, and knows we miss her a whole bunch. I love you Grandma.
