A few more memories of Grandma!

Thanks for a great post, Brooke!!  Kenz, I remember mandarin oranges, too!  Whenever I give them to my kids as a snack I have to smile!  I also remember playing store in her storage room & of course badminton in the backyard!!  What about walking her fence??  Grandma made the BEST couch beds-- I always felt special when I got to sleep on the couch in the front room... it always felt so "fancy" in there!!  What about playing card games in there-- there were those old MONSTER cards with bride of frankenstein & stuff, does anybody else remember those??  What were they, old maid cards??  My favorite thing to play was hide-n-seek!  There was a THOUSAND places to hide with all the built in cupboards & cabinets in the family room!!  I remember turning over the plastic mat in her basement to trick people-- remember how POKY it was on the bottom?!?  I know I got fooled by that many times!  I remember I loved sitting out on the deck or front lawn to watch fireworks, too!  & helping put out her awesome candle Christmas decorations!  I loved those!!  Hmmm... just one more-- I remember Grandma would ALWAYS put butter on our lunch meat sandwiches-- I thought it was SO NASTY!!  ;)  Brooke, thanks for bringing back some great memories!!!  (Thanks to Kenzie, too!)
